Recenzii
This
book
is
valuable
to
those
involved
in
the
evaluation
of
public
organisations.
Particularly
insightful
is
the
realization
that
similar
challenges
faced
in
various
organizations
are
addressed
with
very
different
solutions.
"Overall, this is a good book that is neatly organized. The book can be used in teaching because the examples provide realistic flesh and blood to supplement new students’ learning of dry evaluation theory. Pedagogical discussion questions follow each chapter...Let me add that, as a reader, I feel reassured that the editors and authors collectively are experienced and competent."
