Budgeting and Performance Management in the Public Sector

Budgeting and Performance Management in the Public Sector

Public sector management and accounting scholarship has witnessed enormous change over the last four decades. Several reform paradigms have become well-known and disseminated worldwide under acronyms such as NPM – New Public Management NPG – New Public Governance and PV – Public Value. At the start of a new decade questions arise as to what will come next. This book reviews and investigates the key components of NPM NPM and PV and discusses what lies beyond these acronyms. It analyses the claimed benefits and drawbacks of each of the three paradigms using reviews of the pertinent literature as well as a raft of case studies. The integration of theoretical and empirical insights contributes to a better understanding of what has changed and what has remained the same over the years. Specifically this book stands out in its use of performance measurement and budgetary lenses to explore the multidimensional processes of reform and change in the public sector. By focusing on the crucially important transformations that have occurred in the field reviewing several paradigms and analysing different practices from a longitudinal and comparative perspective the book will be essential in guiding students and scholars of public management and accounting. | Budgeting and Performance Management in the Public Sector

Self and Identity The Basics

Self and Identity The Basics

Self and Identity: The Basics is a jargon-free and accessible introduction that draws on key theories and ideas in Social Psychology to explore the ways that other people affect our thoughts feelings and behaviours. Highlighting selfhood as a function of identity the book shows that it is our relationships with others in our social world that largely determine who we are. Who am I? It’s a question that most all humans have grappled with at some point or another. This book seeks to answer this question through relatable examples that show how psychological theory can be applied to our own lives. It considers the philosophical and psychological context in which ideas about selfhood have developed and reviews the ways that the people around us and the groups that we belong to affect who we are. Finally these ideas are considered in the context of real-world phenomena and behaviours; for instance how we use language conflict between groups and social influence. With a glossary of key terms suggestions for further reading and chapter summaries this book is an ideal introduction for students of social psychology and related fields. It will be of interest to anyone who wants to gain social psychological insight into who they are and how others got them there. | Self and Identity The Basics

Dialogues on Ethical Vegetarianism

Dialogues on Ethical Vegetarianism

After lives filled with deep suffering 74 billion animals are slaughtered worldwide every year on factory farms. Is it wrong to buy the products of this industry? In this book two college students – a meat-eater and an ethical vegetarian – discuss this question in a series of dialogues conducted over four days. The issues they cover include: how intelligence affects the badness of pain whether consumers are responsible for the practices of an industry how individual choices affect an industry whether farm animals are better off living on factory farms than not existing at all whether meat-eating is natural whether morality protects those who cannot understand morality whether morality protects those who are not members of society whether humans alone possess souls whether different creatures have different degrees of consciousness why extreme animal welfare positions sound crazy and the role of empathy in moral judgment. The two students go on to discuss the vegan life why people who accept the arguments in favor of veganism often fail to change their behavior and how vegans should interact with non-vegans. A foreword by Peter Singer introduces and provides context for the dialogues and a final annotated bibliography offers a list of sources related to the discussion. It offers abstracts of the most important books and articles related to the ethics of vegetarianism and veganism. Key Features: Thoroughly reviews the common arguments on both sides of the debate. Dialogue format provides the most engaging way of introducing the issues. Written in clear conversational prose for a popular audience. Offers new insights into the psychology of our dietary choices and our responsibility for influencing others. | Dialogues on Ethical Vegetarianism
