TAKING STOCK of the MANAGERIAL FLOW MODEL: Implications for Management Practice and Development.

The managerial flow model offers a fresh insight into how governmental organisations deliver results. From the point of view of academic literature, this framework provides an interesting "missing link" between the bodies of knowledge of public policy and public management studies. Understanding its implications for management practice is critical to ensure that its potential can be harnessed to improve the formulation and implementation of public policies. In due course, the pursuit of this goal requires discussion on how the learning points provided by the model can be incorporated into management development for governmental organisations.
