Ministries of Education in Small States: Case Studies of Organisation and Management   Mark Bray Size: unspecified ISSN: Categories: Education, Education in Small States, Small States ISBN No: 978-0-85092-367-4 Format: Paperback Publication Date: 01-1991 Number of Pages: 296 Status: In stock Price: £ 5.00    [Currency converter]   Download a PDF with additional information for this publication Description The conventional literature on public administration is dominated by the pattern and concerns of large countries. It does not address the needs of small countries, which have very different organisational and managerial frameworks. For example, what degree of specialisation is possible in a ministry which has only a small number of professional staff? And what are the implications for management of highly personalised societies in which all participants know each other well? The book presents 14 studies of organisation and management written by people involved in these situations. Contents
