Public Administration and Management

Public administration focuses on managing public matters and implementing policies and laws to benefit society. It aims to regulate behavior for the common good. Public management differs in that it takes a longer term approach, considers the political context of decision making, and is concerned with both planning and executing actions. Public management also motivates coordination between parties to achieve collective goals through programs and considers both networks and hierarchies within its structural context.
