Overview

Today, managers who want to excel in the complex public policy environment must dive deeper and seek out skills that specialize in understanding the social-political-psychological dynamics within which that policy takes place. They’re also required to understand the various stakeholders involved in policy-making work. These include government offices, local authorities, public authorities and corporations, voluntary organizations, businesses, various communities, and more.

I Believe

Dr. Yariv Sagi Program Director

Addressing the challenge of public management can be a tool to develop the country's overall economy. Today, this management combines various management practices and traditional policy-making methods with new-age methods. These methods were developed in both the business and public sectors due to the need to highlight the importance of public and economic value management. This specialization at Ono Academic College allows future (and current) professionals in the public sector to enhance their business acumen skills and further develop their public management skills to address today's needs.
