To facilitate this process, he provides a review of some of the forces and issues - such as developments in information technology and realities of living in a global village - which are shaping public management today. Consistent with current strategic management thinking, the author discusses six common clusters of issues, which exist in internal and external environments of many government agencies, and their implications. While discussing dysfunctionalities in political leadership civil service relationship in public sector, he emphasises the need to restore trust as an essential condition for successful responses to productivity challenges and concludes with a call to public managers to prepare themselves for future where fewer, but more skilled, professionals would constitute the government work force. - Reproduced  aPublic sector  aPublic administration  aIndian Journal of Public Administration  aN  a33448  c33448d33448  00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 42, Issue no: 4pAR33670r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
