Critical thinking is a crucial skillset for policy and management scholars and practitioners. This book outlines the ways in which this skillset is sometimes overlooked and how it can be enhanced. It defines constructive critical thinking, outlining some common applications before looking more specifically at how these occur within policy and management. It then moves to a deeper discussion on scholarship and the ways in which critical thinking gaps can lead to ahistorical narratives that become distorted into myths, concluding with a challenge to scholars and suggestions for practitioners to bolster their critical thinking skills and embed them more fully in their professional lives. Working as a guide to using critical thinking, this short book will appeal to researchers, advanced students, and practitioners with an interest in the conceptualisation of policy, management, and public administration.
Michael Macaulay is a Professor of Public Administration at the School of Government at Te Herenga Waka, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand.
