PUBLIC AND PRIVATE MANAGEMENT: CHARACTERISTICS AND RELATIONSHIP

Abstract

The dominant view in the literature and academia associates public sector management with a set of negative characteristics, placing it in a lower position compared to private management. The shortcomings of public management have led to the initiation and development of a transfer of standards, methods, tools and practices specific to private management to the public sector. The present study provides a review of the literature on some specific features of public sector management, highlights and explains the relationship between public and private management and identifies some impediments and recommendations related to the transfer of private methods, tools and practices to organizations from the public sector.
