520			_aPursuant to the need to enhance government's efficiency in handling basic economic and human resource problems through improving performance of public managers and government agencies, the author attempts to provide to them a clearer idea about the nature of productivity challenges they may have to address now. 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
