In his inaugural lecture, Context in public management, the missing link, Edoardo Ongaro, OU Professor of Public Management, looks at how culture, history and geography have a bearing on how public services should be managed in different locations.

Many of these ideas are drawn out in Professor Ongaro’s recent book: The Palgrave Handbook of Public Administration and Management in Europe, in which he looks at the distinctiveness of Europe as an entity for public administration but yet the separateness of some of its elements, which leads to the conclusion that one size does not fit all in the management of public services.
