Abstract

The twenty-first century, still in its infancy, promises to be challenging and full of surprises. As we survey the world around us, east, west, north, or south, we see how governments, technology, multinational corporations, labor unions, the invisible capital markets, and the international governing agencies are reshaping the way we live, compete, and collaborate. These global macro-changes are especially affecting public administrators all over the world, as they are struggling to redefine and fulfill their responsibilities facing insurmountable challenges ranging from declining budgets, anemic economic growth, environmental pollution, the aging of their population, technology, free-market capitalism, unrestricted movement of labor, etc. How to survive and thrive in this new challenging era has been the topic of intense debate and research. The challenge is almost universal: governments must provide and enhance goods and services of a higher quality on diminishing budgets constrained by the global financial and economic crises (Davis, 2007).
