The Evaluation Society - Paperback
by Peter Dahler-Larsen (Author)
Any public or private organization that "lives in public" must now evaluate its activities, be evaluated by others, or evaluate others. But, data from an array of settings and countries indicate that very few evaluations result in any changing action. So, why insist on evaluating? And, what worthwhile results emerge from evaluation? This book answers these questions, using evaluation and organizational theory to offer a fresh perspective.
Peter Dahler-Larsen is Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Copenhagen. Prior to his current appointment, he built and directed the Master's Program in Evaluation at the University of Southern Denmark. A past president of the European Evaluation Society, Dahler-Larsen is especially interested in the cultural and institutional aspects of evaluation.
