The Mini-handbook offers concise discussion of the state of the art in management in general and public management in particular. A specific feature is the strong emphasis placed on workable practices and actual effect being given to them. The material extends to all the key areas in contemporary management which are capable of being transferred as good management practice, and which it would indeed be worthwhile to bring in.

This Handbook is for officials of the governmental administration, especially managers at the middle or top levels, but it would certainly also find successful use among those working in offices of local or regional government, in so-called state institutions, and in various other organisational units.

This Mini-handbook has been developed on the basis of discussions held and materials used within the framework of training sessions under the Education and Cooperation Programme of SYNERGIA,
otherwise the Synergy Project – a network for cooperation and exchange of experience among high-level officials from Central and Eastern European Countries.
