Multi-Study evaluation and the learning Organization. 000025069 5208_ $$aRecent developments in the area of policy evaluation have focused on new notions of process and use or, notably, "influence." But this debate among evaluators on how evaluations are used has been essentially a closed one - evaluators talking only among themselves. The debate has gone on seemingly oblivious to fundamental changes in the intellectual landscape of public management, organizational theory, information technology, and knowledge management. New realities demand a different approach toward evaluation. The current era is characterized by the emergence of an increasingly global set of pressures for governments to perform effectively, not just efficiently, and to demonstrate that their performance is producing desired results. Information technology allows enormous quantities of information to be stored, sorted, analyzed, and made available at little or no cost. The result for those in the evaluation community is that, while individual evaluations are still conducted and reported upon, they are a rapidly diminishing source of information. In the new environment, ever accelerating political and organizational demands and expectations are reframing thinking about the definition of what, fundamentally, constitutes evaluation and what we understand as its applications. In this twelfth volume in the "Comparative Policy Evaluation" series, authors from fourteen nations address these issues from multiple vantage points. This latest volume in the series is an essential tool for policymakers, government officials, and scholars interested in the contemporary status of evaluation. 000025069 650_0 $$aPolicy sciences. 000025069 650_0 $$aPublic administration$$xEvaluation. 000025069 650_0 $$aAdministrative agencies$$xEvaluation. 000025069 650_4 $$aEvaluation 000025069 650_6 $$aAdministration publique$$xÉvaluation. 000025069 7001_ $$aStame, Nicoletta,$$eeditor. 000025069 7001_ $$aRist, Ray C.,$$eed.lit. 000025069 830_0 $$av. 12. 000025069 85641 $$3Table of contents only$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/fy0611/2005041934.html 000025069 903_0 $$aComparative policy evaluation series ;, 000025069 906__ $$a7$$bcbc$$corignew$$d1$$eocip$$f20$$gy-gencatlg 000025069 942__ $$cMON$$jD 143 RIS.F 000025069 952__ $$w2009-04-08$$p2009-0325$$r59.95$$u38871$$bMAIN$$10$$kD 143 RIS.F$$v2009-04-08$$zlibrary$$70 000025069 955__ $$apc12 2005-02-24 to SSCD$$ise38 2005-03-01$$aaa05 2005-03-03$$aps08 2006-06-27 1 copy rec'd., to CIP ver.$$aaa25 2006-09-20 000025069 980__ $$aBIB 000025069 999__ $$c27389$$d27389
