The discipline of management of public services is currently in a fascinating situation of paradigm shifts affecting many aspects of the reality of public organisations. Public institutions have to adapt to the changing environment in order to serve the citizens well in the 21st century. Most dilemmas stemming from the current paradigm shifts will be investigated in the course. Topics include understanding the nature of the environment in which public organisations operate, measuring human development, the differences between the assumption of managing industrial production and service provision, the differences between hierarchical and self-steering organisations, challenges of understanding human motivation, shifting focus of accountability in the public sector and explaining the concept of meta-governance. As a response to the challenges of the current world, the course offers Human Learning Systems as an alternative approach to public management based on: Being human, Continuously learning, and Nurturing healthy systems. Students will have the opportunity to compare both traditional and emerging approaches in public management standing on opposite sides of the current paradigm shifts. Students will improve their understanding of the traditional way of public management, its implicit assumptions, and the level to which these assumptions hold in the reality of 21st century, see the main weaknesses of a traditional way of public management, become familiar with emerging practices in public management, which are promising but usually not in the mainstream yet. They will also become more sensitive to longer-term evolution of the public sector and to recognise prospective trends. The course is composed of seven usually be-weekly meeting and the grading is based on the combination of active participation, short homework tasks, and contribution to final group discussion.

Preparation and participation at the seminars

Face-to-face part of the course consists of seven meetings, 1-3 weeks apart from each other, composed of a lecture and seminar. For his/her presence at one whole seminar, each student gets 4 points for participation up to a maximum of 20 points. This means two absences don’t affect scoring. For each seminar, preparation mainly in form of reading is required. Obvious failing to prepare for the seminar may result in the deduction of some awarded points.

Homework tasks

You are required to read/watch assigned resources in between the meetings. On the basis of these resources you are requested to write short homework (never exceeding two pages), usually in a form of an essay reflecting the topic and/or resources for the next meeting. There are six homework tasks, each scoring up to 10 points on the basis of quality. Failing to meet the deadlines results in zero points awarded. Each student may decide to re-work up to two homework tasks in order to get a better score.

Quality of contribution to final group discussion.

At the end of the term, group discussions of max. 4 students and the lecturer are held. You are expected to contribute to the discussion related to the topics of the course. You will be awarded up to 20 points on the basis of your activity and the quality of your arguments used in the discussion.

  • 25 hours of direct teaching (3h x 7 weeks + consultations and examinations)
