AB  - Agencies are small public organizations that can be managed
strategically to achieve a legislated goal. Develops a framework that
can help them do this by working with their five key relationships: the
Minister and Government, the Minister′s department, central control
agencies, the agency′s board, and the professional staff. Suggests a
general approach to a strategy for managing agencies: do the work
envisaged in the founding legislation, while managing the primary
relationships with Minister and Government and the Board, and monitoring
the constraints of lateral relationships and other legislation. Within
this context, set priorities and make choices in terms of managerial
capacities and operate the agency to attain credibility, primarily in
terms of achieving the legislated goal, while developing a reputation
for managerial competence.
