Öffentliche Verwaltung in diesen Zeiten

This book provides important foundations for understanding both the essence and the transformation of public administration in our time, with digitisation as its main impacting factor. Based on an examination of the changing functions of public administration, it sketches a detailed model of the ‘nuts and bolts’ of administrative action, linking human agency and digital activities. Such a socio-technical view is based on the author’s long-standing research in the fields of informatics and administrative science, and it is embedded in reflections about the continuing significance of public administration in terms of caring about our future.
