FREE ESSAY ON REINVENTING SOMETHING

REINVENTING SOMETHING

This book is about Reinventing Something as you understand from its caption. I could not
surprize much when I finished to read this very popular book because ;
1 The cases included in book to support theory were chosen selectively. I can show a lot
of examples in contrary to the framework proposed in Osbornes book but none of negative
examples were included. The book is very one-handed and does not project the facts
correctly.
2 A distinction were not made in this book between public and private sector
organizations and behaved as if both of them have the same principles and context. The
relation of Public Management with democratic principles were ignored. Basically, this
book is a public version of the book of Peters and Waterman - In Search of Excellence -.

3 The principles propesed in this book are accepted universal and thought as time and
location-free. Cultural differences among countries were underestimated. Generalizations
pervades the book.
4 This book is not based on a decent scientific research and so does not have an
academic-quality.
Overall, if you want to read this book because of its popularity, you should read it with
other strong resources in the field of public administration and management. Some
reference materials are indicated below...
Mark Moore, Creating Public Value ; Norman Flynn, Public Sector Management ; Guy Peters,
The Future of Governing
