Talk by Ivor Gowan
Lecturer in Public Administration,
University of Nottingham
Since the beginning of the century, says the speaker, interest and research in local government have been focused primarily on what the local authorities should do. It is time now to consider the means rather than the ends. In this setting Mr. Gowan comments on the proposals made to the Coventry City Council by the Organisation and Methods Division of the Treasury, which recently reviewed the city's administration at the Council's request.
