PAD-712 Information Based Management
This course will explore how public service programs and policies can be made more responsive, efficient, and effective through the use of social science research techniques and analytical methods. It focuses on how practical programmatic and administrative problems can be structured as empirical questions, so that social science research techniques can be employed to provide answers or illuminate the consequences of alternative courses of action. The continuous analysis and feedback of performance information relative to performance process and outcomes can also assist managers in their efforts to improve service delivery.
