Summary: If you're really seriously being asked to outsource...
Review: This is a "must read" for those in government service who need to know how to reply to political masters who are pushing "the beauty of privatisation".It may not be that popular with those doing the pushing unless they are really sincere as it is devoid of hype and, as far as this reviewer's experience extends, presents the do's and don'ts & the facts and fallacies as they are, not as one might wish them to be. The contents take one right from the beginning phase where the concept of outsourcing is considered for the first time through to providing tips for contract monitoring. The book provides no quick fixes and is thoughtful, if somewhat laconic, in style. It also requires some previous knowledge of the subject. In this regard "Re-inventing Government" (Osbourne & Gaebler - Addison Wesly) and its sequels, as well as "Transforming Government - Lessons from the re-invention Laboratories" (Ingraham, Thompson and Sanders - Jossey Bass Publishers) make relevant companion reading kahooga@intekom.co.za
