Book excerpt: Excerpt from Municipal Public Service Industries This volume is composed of three discussions of questions involved in the ownership, operation and proper regulation of municipal public service industries, which were written for different occasions. They are reproduced without change and are published with a full index, to facilitate an examination of the elements of the subject and a study of it in its entirety. The discussions are printed in the inverse order of their date, because a system of regulation is proposed in the discussion last written which it is believed will effect a satisfactory settlement of all questions pertaining to public service industries. By presenting this system first, busy men can get at the definite proposals at once. If not completely satisfied that the proposed system is right and just, they can make a critical examination of the whole subject and a thorough study of the principles upon which the proposals are based. In these discussions the problem of the ownership, operation and proper regulation of public service industries is studied from the standpoints of taxpayers, users of the services, employes and investors.

Download or read book Financial Strategy for Public Managers written by Sharon Kioko and published by . This book was released on 2017-09-07 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Financial Strategy for Public Managers is a new generation textbook for financial management in the public sector. It offers a thorough, applied, and concise introduction to the essential financial concepts and analytical tools that today's effective public servants need to know. It starts "at the beginning" and assumes no prior knowledge or experience in financial management. Throughout the text, Kioko and Marlowe emphasize how financial information can and should inform every aspect of public sector strategy, from routine procurement decisions to budget preparation to program design to major new policy initiatives. They draw upon dozens of real-world examples, cases, and applied problems to bring that relationship between information and strategy to life. Unlike other public financial management texts, the authors also integrate foundational principles across the government, non-profit, and "hybrid/for-benefit" sectors. Coverage includes basic principles of accounting and financial reporting, preparing and analyzing financial statements, cost analysis, and the process and politics of budget preparation. The text also includes several large case studies appropriate for class discussion and/or graded assignments.

Download or read book Public and Social Services in Europe written by Hellmut Wollmann and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-12 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents comparative analyses and accounts of the institutional changes that have occurred to the local level delivery of public utilities and personal social services in countries across Europe. Guided by a common conceptual frame and written by leading country experts, the book pursues a “developmental” approach to consider how the public/municipal sector-centred institutionalization of service delivery (climaxing in the 1970s) developed through its New Public Management-inspired and European Union market liberalization-driven restructuring of the 1980s and early 1990s. The book also discusses the most recent phase since the late 1990s, which has been marked by further marketization and privatization of service delivery on the one hand, and some return to public sector provision (“remunicipalization”) on the other. By comprising some 20 European countries, including Central East European “transformation” countries as well as the “sovereign debt”-stricken countries of Southern Europe, the chapters of this volume cover a much broader cross section of countries than other recent publications on the same subject.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new way forward for sustainable quality of life in cities of all sizes Strong Towns: A Bottom-Up Revolution to Build American Prosperity is a book of forward-thinking ideas that breaks with modern wisdom to present a new vision of urban development in the United States. Presenting the foundational ideas of the Strong Towns movement he co-founded, Charles Marohn explains why cities of all sizes continue to struggle to meet their basic needs, and reveals the new paradigm that can solve this longstanding problem. Inside, you’ll learn why inducing growth and development has been the conventional response to urban financial struggles—and why it just doesn’t work. New development and high-risk investing don’t generate enough wealth to support itself, and cities continue to struggle. Read this book to find out how cities large and small can focus on bottom-up investments to minimize risk and maximize their ability to strengthen the community financially and improve citizens’ quality of life. Develop in-depth knowledge of the underlying logic behind the “traditional” search for never-ending urban growth Learn practical solutions for ameliorating financial struggles through low-risk investment and a grassroots focus Gain insights and tools that can stop the vicious cycle of budget shortfalls and unexpected downturns Become a part of the Strong Towns revolution by shifting the focus away from top-down growth toward rebuilding American prosperity Strong Towns acknowledges that there is a problem with the American approach to growth and shows community leaders a new way forward. The Strong Towns response is a revolution in how we assemble the places we live.

Download or read book Public Sector Unions and the Privatization of Municipal Services written by Timothy David Chandler and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transfer of government services to the private sector, or privatization as it is generally called, has received considerable attention in recent years. However, few attempts have been made to investigate the issue from a labor relations perspective. This dissertation attempts to alleviate this oversight by examining (1) the role of public sector unions in municipal decisions to contract out sanitation collection, and (2) the impact of sanitation contracting on sanitation workers' wages. Results indicate that the impact of public sanitation unions on sanitation contracting decisions depends upon their relations with city management. Sanitation contracting is less likely to occur if there is a public sanitation union present in the municipality which has cooperative relations with city management and more likely to occur if there is a public sanitation union present which has confrontational relations with city management. Further, results indicate that the higher the probability of a municipality considering contracting out, the less effective the sanitation union is at increasing sanitation workers' wages.
