Of Sustainability and Excellence
What forces shape the recent growth and evolution of higher education in China? Has it been a means of attaining China’s national goals domestically and abroad? This essay looks at some of the forces that influence current academic growth. A search for balance between institutional survival and academic excellence as well as salient differences between public policy training in China and the United States are highlighted
Performance measurement
Performance measurement and reporting are promoted in various publications as a management concept that can help administrators and elected officials address the issues of productivity and accountability. This article challenges this general assertion for two reasons. First, because the cost of performance score cards is always significant while the benefits, in many instances, may be only tentative. Second, because of possible problems that resu…

Learning from international approaches to Best Value
English This article maps the genesis of BestValue from its antecedents in value-for-money approaches in the US, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and in previous UK administrations, and probes what this foretells about its likely success.

Symposium introduction
Franchising in Government
In 1995, the federal government started five pilot Franchise Funds (FF), to study their feasibility for improving productivity through the introduction of competition and capitalizing on specialization and economy of size.

On the Job Training of Social Workers the Case for the Continuing Seminars

Unless this conflict is resolved social workers will remain frustrated and uncooperative. The paper suggests the continuing seminar as a framework for action research and training. It suggests that such an approach may reduce the conflict of loyalties and provide socia…
