Book description
Praise for the Fifth Edition of The Responsible Administrator
"Cooper's fifth edition is the definitive text for students and
practitioners who want to have a successful administrative career.
Moral reasoning, as Cooper so adeptly points out, is essential in
today's rapidly changing and complex global environment."Â-Donald
C. Menzel, president, American Society for Public Administration, and
professor emeritus, public administration, Northern Illinois
University
"The Responsible Administrator is at once the most sophisticated
and the most practical book available on public sector ethics. It is
conceptually clear and jargon-free, which is extraordinary among books
on administrative ethics."Â-H. George Frederickson, Stone
Distinguished Professor of Public Administration, University of Kansas
"Remarkably effective in linking the science of what should be
done with a prescriptive for how to actually do it, the fifth edition
of Cooper's book keeps pace with the dynamic changes in the field,
both for those who study it and those who practice it. The information
presented in these pages can be found nowhere else, and it is
information we cannot ethically afford to ignore."Â-Carole L.
Jurkiewicz, John W. Dupuy Endowed Professor, and Woman's Hospital
Distinguished Professor of Healthcare Management, Louisiana State
University, E. J. Ourso College of Business Administration, Public
Administration Institute
