Federal Contracting: Comments on S. 1724, the Freedom From Government Competition Act
A group of urban scholars, professors of law, history, and political science, and democracy activists critically analyze the political and administrative processes that characterized municipal government under the privatization experiment of Indianapolis Mayor Stephen Goldsmith. Hailed nationwide as a prime example of the "reinvention" of government through privatization of service delivery, its advocates' claims of success may not hold up to objective scrutiny, according to the volume's editors. The first part of the volume provides context, evaluating the legal and procedural issues raised in privatization initiatives around the country, among other things. Subsequent sections focus on management issues, service delivery, and the specific problems encountered in Goldsmith's privatization efforts. c. Book News Inc.
In this study outsourcing is defined as the organizational practice of contracting for services from an external entity while retaining control over assets and oversight of the services being outsourced. In the 1980s, a number of factors led to a renewed interest in outsourcing. For private sector organizations, outsourcing was identified as a strategic component of business process reengineering-an effort to streamline an organization and increase its profitability. In the public sector, growing concern about the federal budget deficit, the continuing long-term fiscal crisis of some large cities, and other factors accelerated the use of privatization measures (including outsourcing for services) as a means of increasing the efficiency of government.
