N2  - This book brings together——for the first time in the human services field——the literature on organizational politics. It traces the evolution of a political approach to organizational and managerial behavior, and shows how this framework can be used profitably by human service administrators. The author provides examples of how politics affects budgeting, personnel decisions, and program development and implementation. Students and practicing managers are shown specific ways to increase their effectiveness as political managers. -- from back cover
