Government Management Issues

Abstract

In response to your request, this transition series report on government, management addresses important policy and management issues facing the Congress and the new administration. This report assesses the incentives and constraints that managers face in their efforts to achieve program results. In that context, it sets the stage for our related transition series reports dealing with financial and information management, program evaluation, and public service issues. Efforts are under way in state governments, other countries, and some federal agencies to address similar problems. Taken together, these efforts have laid the groundwork for broader action on the part of the federal government. What is needed now is specific action. This report outlines the key elements of a management improvement framework that should be considered at the federal level. The GAO products upon which this report is based are listed at the end of the report.
