Conference on Public Sector Management Development: Post Bureaucratic Management: a new age for public services?

We are looking for proposals from practitioners and academics that focus on management development in the public sector generally or in specific parts of the public sector (e.g. central government departments, government agencies, local government, health services, police services, etc). Proposals are particularly invited on the following themes: - Struggling with bureaucratic routines in public services (The bureaucratic management drawbacks in public services). - Entrepreneurial organizations: an alternative model to bureaucracy? - The implications of post-bureaucratic management on human resources - What about the new role and place of post-bureaucratic users in public services? - Performance management: Are efficiency and ethics contradictory concepts or contradictory ideals in public sector organisations? - Post-Bureaucratic management or bureaucratisation of management tools? - What is at stake in post-bureaucratic management: socialisation Vs Marketisation? - The rise of local government: a way to overcome the dialectic between top-down and bottom-up approaches
