Rezensionen

"Faculty in public affairs programs are steeped in the science of administration and management, yet when the time comes to serve as organizational leaders, they are frequently unprepared. The Public Affairs Faculty Manual addresses this paradox with smart, practice-based advice. This is a comprehensive handbook for deans, directors, and chairs - and for the academic administrators 'in waiting' whose day will come."

Matthew Auer, University of Georgia, USA

"This is a long overdue compilation of what an aspiring director of an MPA program needs to know before they step into the position. In one tome, Bruce McDonald and William Hatcher have pulled together insights and perspectives that often take months to learn just by doing. Read The Public Affairs Faculty Manual first, then accept the offer to be MPA director!"

Michael A. Pagano, University of Illinois, USA

"The edited volume is explicitly written for PA faculty in new leadership roles in higher education, though it is a useful reference for administrators of all levels and even useful for regular faculty...The chapters are written by 19 different scholars with a staggering amount of administrative experience as directors, chairs, and deans."
