Conducting Research on Counties in the 21st Century
Given local, regional, national, and global events of the last few years and the ever‐increasing service roles and expectations of county governments, American counties warrant greater scholarly attention. To guide researchers, the research agenda published in this journal 15 years ago has been refined and expanded. This 11‐point agenda includes fiscal capacity and responsibility; the role of structure, politics, and political participation; inte…
Citizen Demand for Interactive E-Government
The possible benefits of e-government are currently generating far more interest than the limitations. The dominant view is that the Internet offers almost unlimited potential and that governments are not fully exploiting this opportunity. The authors' findings question this conclusion. They find a strong preference for in-person and telephone communication, even when these methods might actually be less convenient. The authors focus on a single …
Collaboration and Leadership for Effective Emergency Management
Collaboration is a necessary foundation for dealing with both natural and technological hazards and disasters and the consequences of terrorism. This analysis describes the structure of the American emergency management system, the charts development of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and identifies conflicts arising from the creation of the Department of Homeland Security and the attempt to impose a command and control system on a very …
E-Democracy, E-Commerce, and E-Research
Few doubt that the Internet is changing citizen interactions with government. To assess those changes, the authors analyze data from a telephone survey on how Georgia residents connect with government via the Internet. They find that citizens visit government Web sites for many reasons, which can be divided into three categories: e-democracy, e-commerce, and e-research. E-democracy is the least common activity, and it alone resembles traditional …
Elements of Strategic Planning and Management in Municipal Government
This article focuses on the use of strategic planning and management processes in municipal governments with populations over 25,000. Strategic planning has been used in municipalities for 20 years now, but little is known about how it is used and the results obtained. In particular, we explore whether municipal governments tie other components of the overall strategic management process to their strategic plans. Findings do not show a dramatic e…

Public Administration Research from a Practitioner Perspective
Recent research has questioned both the rigor and theoretical development of public administration research. The proposed solutions have generally endorsed a more academically oriented research agenda. Authors have discussed practitioner needs, but the focus has been on the appropriateness of different research methods rather than the types of knowledge needed. We seek to contribute to this ongoing debate by comparing the knowledge needs identifi…
Assessing the Validity, Legitimacy, and Functionality of Performance Measurement Systems in Municipal Governments
There is now great interest in the use of performance measurement and there have been a number of studies that focused on municipal governments. The findings to date tend to be descriptive. This analysis seeks to add to this discussion by comparing real world conditions with the criteria outlined in a prescriptive model. The authors look at the validity, legitimacy, and functionality of municipal performance measures. The data on the use of perfo…
Performance Measurement in Municipal Government
Performance measurement has been part of the lexicon of public administration in the United States for several decades, but rhetoric has outdistanced practice by far in this area. Currently, however, there is a renewed interest in performance measures as an essential element of the results-oriented management movement that is sweeping the field, as reflected in legislative mandates and administrative initiatives as well as considerable conference…
Municipal Health Benefits
The rising cost of health care benefits is posing a serious threat to municipal budgets. Despite the seriousness of this challenge, public administration has paid little attention to the subject of municipal health care benefits. This article seeks to remedy this situation by presenting findings from a comprehensive national survey. The findings address the types of health care plans in use, the types of benefits available, the costs of benefits,…
MBO in Municipal Government
Management By Objectives, or MBO, is a traditional management approach to directing the efforts of managers and the organizational units for which they are responsible. This technique has been used in government for more than 20 years, and substantial literature has accumulated affirming its utility. Yet, the history of MBO in the public sector has been uneven, and its role and importance in government are unclear. It is frequently criticized as …

This study examines the impact of professional skill on citizen participation and respect for political leadership among local government department heads in Northern Illinois. Data were collected by a mailed survey modeled after a number of similar research efforts. The findings indicate that although the respondents displayed some reservations about invasive citizen participation and the irrationality of the political process, such viewpoints w…

The Changing Responsibilities of County Governments
}This article reports findings from a national survey of county administrators, executives, and commission chairs from counties with an executive or an administrator that indicate counties are battling to meet rising administrative and policy demands with inadequate authority. An examination of 23 different policy areas revealed that modern counties confront some of our society's most vexing problems, most of which are primarily of an urban chara…
Strategic Planning in U.S. Cities
For this study of the use of strategic planning in American cities, data were collected by a survey of all American cities with populations between 25,000 and one million. Key issues covered were strategic planning applications, perceptions of effectiveness, strategic capacity, and methods of monitoring and evaluation. The findings show that a large number of cities use strategic planning with a high level of satisfaction; however, questions are …
Management Tools in Municipal Government
This article reports the results of a 1987-1988 survey of 451 municipal managers regarding the use and perceived effectiveness of numerous management tools. Viewed in conjunction withfindings from two earlier surveys, the data presented in this article reflect the continuation of the boom in management and show that the public manager's tool kit has both expanded and stabilized over the past decade. Techniques such as program budgeting, managemen…
