This book provides a concise and comprehensive guide to the theory and practice of methods of public administration. It not only explains the theoretical and structural aspects of methodism, but also attempts to show some of the practical problems and challenges confronting contemporary public administration in a general way. And as such, the book is suitable for those studying for examinations of the Diploma and Degrees in Public Administration and Local Government and Administration of the Zimbabwe Open University, other universities, colleges and polytechnics offering similar programmes.
