Presenting dozens of concrete tips, interesting case studies, and step-by-step strategies for the budding analyst as well as the seasoned professional, Bardach's eightfold approach encapsulates more than 20 years of teaching and guiding students towards effective, accurate, and persuasive policy analysis.
Some of the enhancements to this edition?
-A separate appendix that provides sample questions for policy analysts to ask about public and nonprofit institutions in order to aid their analysis and implementation.
-New attention to troubleshooting problems how to avoid linguistic pitfalls, confusing "alternatives" and "criteria," and projecting outcomes that lead to design problems.
-Expanded coverage of cost-effectiveness analysis (including a new excerpt from a RAND Corporation report).
-Explanation of evidence and justification, as well as additional semantic tips in the appendices.
Readers will also find a sample document of real world policy analysis, a primer in how to "talk the talk" of policy analysis, and a cheat sheet of strategies for solving a host of policy problems. |
Average Customer Rating:   Great Seller Quick delivery and book was in very good condition. I would definitely buy from this seller again. Very useful book The book is useful for my work and easy to read. It also provides concise and details information. excellent This product was received in excellent condition very quickly ... helps a struggling college person keep within budget!
THANK YOU! Strange Book I wanted a basic book on policy and this is a book on the general problem solving method. The sub-title should become the book title:"The Eightfold Path to More Problem Solving." This book expands on the the very basic 3-step general problem solving method: (1) define the problem, (2) think of all the alternatives, (3) choose the best alternative.
When I get a book I take the key word in the title and look for the author's definition of that term so that I can understand their perspective. Amazingly, the author does not define "policy" in the book. Is policy different than a problem, a strategy, a plan, rules and regulations......?
I'll sell you my copy cheap! Bad Purchase I do not want to say much about this book other than it is overly obvious in what it states. Also, I did not use this book much in my class, which adds to my negative impression of it. |  |
