Synopsis

During  the  last decade the public sector at both state  and  federal
levels  in Australia and overseas has undergone tremendous change  and
reform.  This is continuing. This unit examines the causes of  change,
the  processes  used  to  achieve it and  highlights  the  key  issues
confronting  managers seeking to implement reform and  change  in  the
public   sector.   Areas   such  as  design  and   planning,   policy,
organizational  structure  and  design and  overcoming  resistance  to
change  and  managing  staff are specifically  covered.  Examples  and
experiences  of  change  are provided both  from  Australia  and  from
overseas.
