The importance of the concept of the public management in the implementation of the mission of local government

Abstract

Public administration (including local government administration), acts to implement the mission assigned to it by law. This mission – mainly related social life organizing and protecting of the general interest – requires an effective decision-making process. In this area the administrative sciences use the achievements of management sciences. Using new approaches in the field of administrative sciences, the public administration uses new, non-authoritative methods rather than the authoritative ones. The main issue in this area is to search the for new methods of managing of the local affairs while paying attention to the administration’s mission.
