Preparing Public Managers for the Technological Issues of the 1980s
本文指出1980年代各级政府公共管理者将面临识别、评估、引入和制度化技术创新的任务，呼吁公共管理界从学术课程和实践层面做好准备。
Public managers at all levels of government will be faced increasingly with the tasks of identifying, assessing, introducing, institutionalizing, and possibly arresting technology-based innovations during the 1980s. Consequently, the public administration community should focus on new ways of dealing with the requirements such innovations will bring. On the academic front, new curricula should be prepared and courses should be developed to better reflect the scientific and technological changes forthcoming. On the practical level of public administration, government officials must try to better anticipate the technological problems and opportunities pending. How the various institutions within the public administration community should accomplish this task will no doubt differ. Nevertheless, there would seem to be a general obligation on the part of us all to identify a coherent and coordinated approach for coping with the technological issues of the 1980s.
