Lessons for Managing Information Technology in the Public Sector
Over the past 6 years, master’s of public education students in a graduate course at California State University, Fullerton, interviewed about 460 practitioners about information technology applications and issues. Based on these interviews and the resulting papers and orals, nine lessons were gleaned. These lessons represent the wisdom of the workplace across a great variety of positions and departments. The top two lessons are that managers mus…
Public Administration
This article evaluates the ability of public administration programs to provide computing education by surveying current textbooks' and general public administration journals' treatment of the topic since 1985. Three highly respected journals and six textbooks were studied. The journals were found to barely treat the topic of computing, whether as a main focus or as merely a mention in articles. The textbooks also barely mentioned computing. In a…
Police use of computers
Management Policy for Greater Computer Benefits
Using data from over 3,000 public employees in 46 U.S. cities in 1988, this article in vestigates three classes of factors commonly thought to affect computer use: training, friendliness of software, and user computer background. Computer use is analyzed as 11 specific tasks (such as programming, record searching) and is further broken down by organizational role of user, for example, manager and street-level employee. Some findings are that (1) …
Payoffs from Computerization
Today the federal government, all 50 states, and virtually all city and county governments utilize computers.At the city and county levels alone, computers are used for some 450 different computer applications including paying employees, sending utility bills, analyzing demographic data, routing vehicles, and allocating manpower.1This extensive use of computers is the result of the promised payoffs from computerization.Early on, Anthony Downs arg…
Curriculum Recommendations for Public Management Education in Computing

One reflection of this interest is the increased use of organizational assessment which is the process of measuring the effectiveness of an organization from a social systems perspective.' An organizational assessment is grounded in conceptual models of organizations and is typically holistic, i.e., focused on the task-performance capab…

Municipal Reform and Group Influence
This study explores the relationship between municipal reform structures and group politics from a theoretical perspective new to the reform literature, one based on opportunity theory. Government structures are hypothesized to shape chief executives' strategies for remaining in office or advancing. Specifically, reform government structures tend to make the chief executive's appointment/reelection more vulnerable to the influence of a broader ar…
