Introduction.- Evolution of a Digital Library: Testing the Limits of Universal Collecting at the Library of Congress.- Designing a management information system for competition law agencies.- Partnership systems to manage post-disaster recovery.- Measuring the performance of research organizations.- Far away, so close? Examining the growth potential of Greece through the lens of New Zealand's paradigm.- Mindfulness at Work.- Public Management as Corporate Social Responsibility.- A New View to Unveil the Unknown Stakeholder.- On bureaucratic behavior.- Business-government relations.- Conclusion.

This collection of case studies in public management bridges the gap between mainstream CSR - confined to the for-profit corporations -and the vast bodies of workers and organizations that make up government and its public administration. The variety and discretion of managerial endeavours in public management calls for accountability and responsibility of government beyond current legal instruments: The book argues that CSR must be brought to bear with government. In government in fact, knowledge management is not a linear process, but the result of working with passion of the parts, implying discretionary behaviour and creativity which in turn imply choice and responsibility. Cases ranging from the USA to Central America, New Zealand and Europe all confirm the complex nature of public management, entailing partnership synergy for disaster recovery, the intertwined link between management and new technology and mindfulness at individual level. The cases are set in a framework by theoretical essays on bureaucratic behaviour and unknown stakeholders.
