Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

This is a concise introduction to quantitative methods of analysis and decision-making, and their application to public administration, particularly in the context of developing countries. The book stresses the systematic, objective considerations of development planning, emphasizing the general systems approach which provides a framework for properly formulating appropriate objective functions. All the material introduced is related to the tasks associated with public administration and will therefore be of interest to public administrators, development economists and engineers. Health care administrators will find that examples in the text are frequently taken from community health applications and are very relevant to their decision-making activities. The book has been written to provide a knowledge and appreciation of the available quantitative techniques appropriate for public administrators, and to offer guidance of when and how to apply such techniques to specific needs and available resources.
