Research in public administration and public management
has distinctive features that influence the choices and
application of research methods. Periods of change and
upheaval in the public sector provide ample opportunities
and cases for research, but the standard methodologies
for researching in the social sciences can be difficult
to follow in the complex world of the public sector. In a
dynamic political environment, the focus lies on solving
social problems whilst also using methodological
principles needed for doing scientifically sound
research.
