Zusammenfassung:To keep government operating smoothly, changes in public management policy and strategy usually follow the old rule of change - that it must evolve in an incremental, step-by-step fashion. But in today's unpredictable world of shrinking budgets, demands for better service, and greater accountability and adaptability, step-by-step change is no longer enough

By acknowledging the potential for positive change and renewal that can arise from uncertainty and instability, Kiel offers managers a different paradigm for transforming government performance
