THE PUBLIC MANAGER

As part of our role as a thought leader in government management, the LMI Research Institute sponsors the publication of The Public Manager, for 35 years a leading quarterly journal in government management. 

The Public Manager is a practical, forward-thinking journal dedicated to encouraging professionalism and high performance by public managers. It helps public managers and executives share ideas about critical public management issues and reaches practitioners in federal, regional, state, local, and international governments.  

The Public Manager has a unique focus on the practical rather than the theoretical. Authors discuss applications, solutions, tools, and techniques, as opposed to simply raising questions or identifying challenges and problems. This is the kind of content that our readers find directly useful in the day-to-day management of public-sector resources.

When you read The Public Manager, you will find regular series and an occasional forum or mini-forum that cover current and new approaches in the traditional functions of government: personnel, budgeting and finance, procurement, information technology, and general management. Articles delve into matters of current public management interest, such as enterprise transformation, continuity of operations, public-private partnerships, innovation, technology integration, human capital challenges, and strategic perspectives. Departments provide short pieces to keep you abreast of current ideas and thoughts affecting public management.

The Public Manager is published quarterly in the spring (April), summer (July), fall (October), and winter (January).
