Continuing themes include managing for productivity, measuring and evaluating performance, improving budget strategies, managing human resources, building partnerships, and applying new technologies. Public Performance & Management Review is co-sponsored by the American Society for Public Administration, Section on Public Performance and Management, and the National Center for Public Productivity (Rutgers University, Newark Campus).
