Title: Performance Centers in Public Administration
Abstract: Public administration is mostly analysed by political and administrative scientists, jurists, sociologists and economists. Meanwhile there exists worldwide a growing interest of scientists of Business Administration in investigating this field. The latter classify public administration as economic unities on the national, regional or municipal level which make decisions and act conclusively within a specific framework. These entities differ from other participants of the market economy in three ways: first, there are specific legal and factual requirements for public purchasing and resourcing of labour (recruitment) and capital (borrowing); second, the organizational structures, processes and behaviour patterns of the public service follow their own legal and factual conditions; third,—and this is most essential- the administrative output follows political goals and consists of "public goods" such as promotion and regulation of industry or a particular service-delivery.KeywordsPublic GoodPublic AdministrationAdministrative UnitPerformance CenterPublic EnterpriseThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
