Reinventing Government

This is an excellent book that covers all of the facts about our old and new government laws in comparison to current events that occur within our society. Regulations and guidelines are also described about the Private and Public Sector and how they differ. It is definately a great book.

With low expectations, it is good

Firstly, let me say that I agree with most of the other readers when they write that this book was neither academic nor "reinventive". I will say that this was strictly an idea book, a motivator to the masses. So long as one doesn't expect emperical research, evenhanded arguements, or even updated conclusions, they are fine. When reading this book, don't expect, nor should you expect, to be handed ideas on a platter to run with. Rather, they present the optimum view of their vision. Whether it is right, wrong or impossible, they put forth thoughts that could spark change. The change that I am speaking of is not a grand sweeping motion that will forever alter the government, but rather pieces of an idea. Even if these particular ideas are not implemented, the chances of them sparking new ways of approach or implementation are greater.In reading this book, I didn't take what the writers wrote verbatum, but I did begin to think about what I, as an individual, could do in my organization to make a difference. That is the target audience. These authors didn't write this book for the scholars or for the world of academia, but rather for the practical administrator in the field. Read this recomended book with above information in mind. If anything, it will be an interesting one.

A Third Way Perhaps!

Very interesting approach which makes an endeavor to integrate government and business. The idea this books advocates is to steer rather then rowing. It emphasizes on building up of the community and empowering it so it becomes self-sufficient. I would say that Al Gore and Tony Blair are two very strong supporters of this new approach of running the government.

An excellent book outlining how government is transforming.

This is a great book for anyone interested or involved with government. It shows how new new practices are transforming bureaucracy into efficient processes. It's a great guide to making change in your community (or country).
