Comment on "Can Public Managers Learn from Trends in Manufacturing Management?"

Abstract

The article is well done but several critical comments occur to me related more to the premise on which it is based than the execution of the theme. First, I found it curious that the article picked a relatively narrow segment of the private sector, manufacturing, and compared it with the entire spectrum of public management. Parallel comparisons might better be between public and private sector management (which I would not advocate), or, between manufacturing management in the private sector compared with similar manufacturing operations in the public sector. Considerable benchmarking already exists between these two segments.
