Download or read book Le management public territorial written by Serge Huteau and published by Editions du Papyrus. This book was released on 2002 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vingt ans après la décentralisation, les collectivités territoriales s'engagent dans un processus de modernisation afin de rompre avec la gestion bureaucratique héritée des administrations d'Etat. Les collectivités territoriales sont aujourd'hui en quête d'un modèle de gestion qui leur est propre, car jusque là les seuls outils de gestion explorés émanaient du secteur privé. Serge Huteau propose donc la construction originale d'un système de Management Public Territorial. L'auteur se livre à une véritable analyse des besoins et des priorités des collectivités en terme d'organisation et de management ; il aboutit à un constat simple mais déterminant qui réside dans l'inversion du " comment " (l'organisation) et du " pourquoi " (la stratégie) : porter l'attention sur les moyens plutôt que sur la fin. Cet ouvrage montre comment cette conception nouvelle du management influence la notion même de métier et particulièrement du cadre territorial qui doit devenir un véritable manager. Cet ouvrage n'offre pas " de prêt à manager " aux collectivités ; il leur permet de concevoir leurs propres outils de gestion, d'organisation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le management est un art, celui de conduire une organisation. Le management public territorial est un art majeur, celui de conduire une organisation dans un souci d'intérêt général et de développement local. Les cadres de la territoriale ont été peu préparés à ces fonctions de management. Et pourtant, les évolutions constatées ces dernières années et celles qui nous attendent sont porteuses de nombreux défis : le défi des transferts de compétences et de responsabilités ; le défi de la gestion des ressources humaines pour faire face aux nouvelles compétences, à la structure de la pyramide des âges des collectivités publiques et à la concurrence entre secteur public et secteur concurrentiel ; le défi du déni démocratique, que les taux d'abstention et le poids des votes extrêmes mettent en évidence. Le défi d'une globalisation, qui remet en cause les modes de gestion publique traditionnelle et qui voit émerger et se généraliser un nouveau management public. Les cadres territoriaux sont-ils préparés à ces défis ? Dans le premier tome de notre ouvrage, nous avons mis en évidence les principes nécessaires à la conduite d'une organisation et plus particulièrement d'une collectivité territoriale. Dans ce second tome, nous avons voulu décliner ces principes en termes pratiques, sous la forme de démarches de mise en œuvre et d'outils à utiliser. Nous avons également voulu conforter le système de management public territorial que nous avions proposé en nous appuyant sur ce qui devrait devenir un référentiel de management public, la démarche de performance héritée de la LOLF. Cet ouvrage, articulé autour des deux dimensions principales du management, le management stratégique et le management opérationnel, présente en 13 chapitres les concepts, les démarches de mise en œuvre et les outils que doivent maîtriser les managers publics territoriaux.

Download or read book Collective Dynamics and Territories written by Anne Albert-Cromarias and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2024-07-18 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faced with global economic, social and environmental challenges requiring us to go beyond individual actions, the development of collective dynamics is the ideal response. From this perspective, territories, which have long been neglected, are now asserting themselves as breeding grounds for innovative and relevant forms of organized action in response to shared experiences. Bringing together more than twenty researchers in strategic management, human resources management and marketing, Collective Dynamics and Territories offers, through nine territorial issues (innovating and regenerating territories, building environmental action, attracting and retaining talent, etc.), insights into the conditions and modalities for developing collective dynamics within territories. The success of local collective dynamics depends on support for the actors involved, from situation analysis to problem definition, including idea generation, selection, implementation and evaluation. This book offers a comprehensive, systemic and operational vision for analyzing and acting on collective territorial dynamics.

Download or read book Socio Economic Approach to Management Treatise written by Henri Savall and published by IAP. This book was released on 2023-05-01 with total page 1100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The result of half a century of research and experimentation in economics and management, this Treatise is intended for management practitioners. Socio-economic management (SEAM) makes the demands of humanism in professional life and sustainable economic prosperity compatible. It is illustrated with numerous cases from 2,150 companies and organizations from a wide variety of sectors and presents observed and measured results. Most of these chapters are written jointly by managers or executives of companies and organizations, and scholars or consultants involved in the pilot actions. This book is the work of 193 authors, from 16 countries and 4 continents, practitioners or academics in management sciences and management. This reflects the diversity of national and sectoral contexts of SEAM applications. Some chapters situate this concept in relation to the major currents of current thought. Each chapter is preceded by abstracts in French, English and Spanish. The prefaces, signed by Herman Aguinis and Rene Ricol, show the scope of socio-economic theory and management beyond the borders of the company. The book illustrates the international influence (48 countries) of the innovative and robust methods created and developed by the ISEOR team. Socio-economic theory constitutes a "breakthrough innovation", both in terms of its conceptual contribution and the practical methods and tools of its applications. This holistic approach touches on the different functions of the company and its multiple problems. It provides a structured change management method, focused on stimulating Human Potential and on self-financing the development of the company or organization, through the periodic recycling of hidden costs.

Download or read book Competency Management in the Public Sector written by Instituut voor de Overheid and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation Competency Management is increasingly being adopted as an approach to HRM in both the private and public sectors. This book will be of interest to both practitioners and academics as it seeks to inform the reader about the practice of competency management in European public services. It throws light on the origins and meanings of the concept and traces the competency movement from the 1980s in the UK and USA. It links competency management to performance management and HRM and demonstrates how a competency approach can add value to all parts of an organisation. The nine country studies provide a rich insight into the practices found across the public sectors of Europe. At one end of the spectrum is Britain with its holistic approach to competency management in the Senior Civil Service and widespread use throughout the rest of the service. Belgium, the Netherlands and Finland provide further examples of recent developments and good practice. In France and Germany, however, competency management has only just appeared on the reform agenda and the reasons for this are identified. Micro studies in Italy and Sweden provide an insight into the problems that arise when the perceptions of reformers diverge from those of managers and managed, while the study of Poland shows the problems faced by countries in transition which lack an appropriate educational sub-structure for public management and HRM.

This book was released on 2023-05-09 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book questions the role of liquid sanitation in the development of cities in Africa. The absence of sewerage networks and treatment plants in African cities already submerged by rapid and anarchic urbanization is a major problem. To meet this challenge, it is urgent to rethink urban water governance and impose and enforce sustainable urban planning standards. In other words, sanitation issues must now be placed at the heart of urban planning.

Book excerpt: The book is the first of its kind to provide a comparative analysis of the provision of social and public services in France, Italy, Germany, the UK and Norway. This volume, co-authored by leading national experts, topically examines whether, when, how and why the delivery of social and public services, which was historically a responsibility of local authorities, has been significantly shifted to marketized and commodified forms. However, despite this considerable change, there have been recent indications of remunicipalisation in some sectors. Combining both cross-country and cross-policy co.

Download or read book Rethinking Territorial Development Policies A new framework for territorial stakeholders written by Michel Felix and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2021-07-06 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an analytical framework and toolkit for anyone involved — theoretically or practically — with the economic, social, ecological or cultural development of a territory. This work provides an overview of the various territorial development processes, inclusive of both individual and collective actions. In pursuance of its objectives, the book re-examines the classical concepts of governance and regulation in order to position them in an integrative model of the initiatives which contribute dynamically to territorial development. According to this model, the concepts of governance and regulation become two axes, revealing four main reference situations which differentiate between the local initiatives (ground-up) and public actions (top-down) that coexist in a territory. The model emphasizes the need to consider the place of territorial stakeholders in regulatory processes. The book enriches this concept, familiar in a legislative context, and describes it as an area of influence of and negotiation with shareholders. It contributes to a territorial governance system which encourages development offers. It reveals the inseparable link between influence and development processes that lead to value creation. The logic of governance specifies the various sources of value creation, while the logic of regulation seeks to maximize the acceptability of such value creation by making it into an attractive proposition for stakeholders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an overview of the scientific study of public management, gathering together some of the most authoritative experts in this area of study in Europe and the United States, writing specifically about their respective countries. These essays seek to present the national distinctiveness of the study of public management, in the context of specific state administration. This book goes further than some previous books concerning public management by highlighting the underlying differences between Europe and the United States and amongst European countries, in relation to their particular political-administrative circumstances. The aim of this book is to establish a dialogue between Anglo-American and European approaches to public management, to encourage readers to see their own national ideas and practises in contrast to others and foster leaning by asking repeatedly ‘compared to what?’

Download or read book Place Naming Identities and Geography written by Gerry O’Reilly and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-04-06 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents research on geographical naming on land and sea from a wide range of standpoints on: theory and concepts, case studies and education. Space and place naming or toponymy has a long tradition in the sciences and a renewed critical interest in geography and allied disciplines including the humanities. Place: location and cartographical aspects, etymology and geo-histories so salient in past studies, are now being enhanced from a range of radical perspectives, especially in a globalizing, standardizing world with Googlization and the consequent ‘normalization’ of place names, perceptions and images worldwide including those for marketing purposes. Nonetheless, there are conflicting and contesting voices. The interdisciplinary research is enhanced with authors from regional, national and international toponymy-related institutions and organizations including the UNGEGN, IGU, ICA and so forth.
