Although the process of strategic management has been enthusiastically adopted by many public sector managers, the guidance on how best to develop the strategies necessary to put those processes into the task of running a government agency has been essentially missing. This book by David McNabb and Chung Shing-Lee appropriately fills that void. They have produced the only book I am aware of that blends strategic management theories with the practical skills needed for designing strategies.
