Covering both theory and practice in public administration and policy, this resource for practitioners and researchers demonstrates a new approach to public administration that can be
accomplished through Big Data database systems. The strategies presented draw on ideas and techniques from quantitative modeling and typological analysis as a way to analyze changes taking
place in administrative systems. Of special interest to researchers in the field is discussion of issues related to theory generators in transition to adaptive administration; several theory
generator examples from the Affordable Care Act are presented, along with other theory generator examples from county government and a teaching hospital. Section 1 provides background on key
concepts in organizational performance, leadership strategies for public organizations, public-sector risk analysis, and legal and ethical issues. Section 2 outlines resources for a transition
to adaptive administration. Section 3 explores the potential impact of adaptive administration on public sector organizations, leadership, performance, organizational planning, and budgeting.
Section 4 considers issues in the transition to adaptive administration. Annotation ©2016 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
