Kamu Kuruluşlarında Stratejik Yönetim ve Stratejik Liderlik

Abstract

For decades strategic management and strategic leadership focused on the private sector only. Managing public organizations received critics from many, and there is a common belief that public organizations' management is poor. Recent changes are affecting the private sector and public organizations as well. Due to the growing complexity of social problems and increasing demands of citizens to administration, strategic management has become a needed tool for the public manager to create value and to shape the organization. On the other hand, the acceleration of social change creates more challenges for public administration. Public and private organizations exist for different reasons, so applying the same strategies to each organization would not be wise. The purpose of public organizations is to serve its citizens, and the existence of private organizations is profit-making. Therefore this paper aims to explore if public organizations are advanced in the implication of strategic management and strategic leadership.
