This textbook is the first to examine how new trends such as “radical innovation”, “co-creation” and “potentialization” challenge fundamental values in the public sector.The authors bridge traditional public management approaches that tend to exclude social and societal problems, with broader social theories apt to capture new dilemmas and challenges. The book shows how the effects of new forms of managerialism penetrate the state, local governments, welfare institutions as well as professional work and citizens’ rights. It facilitates a discussion about how basic values are put at stake with new reforms and managerial tools.The book is ideal for postgraduate students in the area of public policy and public management with an interest in managing and leading public administration units and welfare institutions.

"A fantastic introduction to governance that brings together the concepts of innovation, organizational change and inter/intra-organizational collaboration, while considering the role of citizens within the delivery of public services." Marc Esteve, University College London "This is an insightful, mature textbook. Thanks to the international perspective adopted by the authors combined with the rootedness of the analysis and argumentation in the German sociology and the systemic management tradition, Public management in transition will make a much needed, original contribution to the current offering of textbooks in the area of public management." Martyna Sliwa University of Essex
