PADM 5453 - International Public Management

Summer. 1.5 credits. Letter grades only.

Enrollment limited to: EMPA students.

J. Mathiason.

This course develops from a general discussion of the differences between management of international public and NGO organizations and similar organizations at the national level or below, through an examination of the management process in the context of results-based management, which is the dominant approach taken in both public and non-governmental organizations. It then examines the application of analysis methods to specific organizations. The goal is to provide students with the tools to be intelligent consumers of international services, effective participants in their governance and, at an introductory level, how to evaluate them.

Outcome 1: Students will apply tools for using results-based management to plan the work of international public and NGO organizations.

Outcome 2: Students will articulate how the international public sector works and how it is different from national public sectors.

Outcome 3: Students will draft a paper analyzing the strategy of an international public or NGO institution in terms of RBM and participate in the design of a new organization.
