In each of the three fields, the traditional enforcement approach is under stress and certain steps have been taken to meet new challenges. The book is intended to provide concrete assistance to government executives and managers. The author pays special attention to the crucial area of information management and to the task of aligning information systems planning with strategic planning. He contends that, if properly managed, information systems can cut labor costs, improve resource allocation, and increase the efficiency and effectiveness of government operations. The value of separating enforcement and regulatory functions from the rest of government is discussed, emerging enforcement strategies are examined, and common features of enforcement strategies are described.
