More so than ever, professionals in government (and organizations that work with governments) find themselves in environments that can be characterized as complex, unpredictable and unstable. The rules and routines, processes and precedents, and culture and capabilities of our organizations that used to work well before are coming under increasing stress. Our stakeholders and citizens are much less willing to trust government by default; they demand greater accountability from governments and public officials. New policy challenges have also emerged: the promise (and the perils) of rapid technology advances; climate change, pandemics and sustainability; rising inequality and ageing societies; middle class anxiety and the rise of populist nationalism and identity politics; and a seemingly higher frequency of crises (financial, public health for example). These challenges require new thinking and innovative, even radical, policy responses. In a world that is increasingly characterized by rapid and sometimes disruptive change, governments and public sector managers must be prepared to disrupt themselves. The Master of Public Management (MPM) program is designed to prepare students to operate and thrive in a complex, rapidly changing and disruptive world. The program will prepare them for senior management roles in organizations that deliver public services or interact frequently with governments and regulatory authorities. It aims to equip students with the skills, knowledge and habits of mind to deal with the fast changing and contested environments that governments—as well as their stakeholders, partners, and regulated entities—face. In this program, students will have the opportunity to develop their managerial capabilities such as their analytical skills, operational competence and political acumen—all of which are essential for successful careers in the public or private sectors. Leveraging the strengths at HKUST, the program also aims to give students the interdisciplinary perspectives that will enable them to explore the policy, operational, regulatory and political issues associated with technology advances and sustainability. Prof. Kira MATUS Associate Head and Professor, Division of Public Policy Professor, Division of Environment & Sustainability Director, Master of Public Management Program “In an increasingly complex world, the policy problems of the 21st century demand new skills in order to develop creative, innovative, and effective solutions to meet emerging challenges. Our MPM program is designed to develop leaders in business, government, and NGOs able to meet these challenges. Our approach is interdisciplinary and forward looking, and our students learn to explore and embrace the complexity of policy problems. Our program develops individuals able to imagine creative new solutions, and the implementation strategies required to realize them.” 3 MASTER OF PUBLIC MANAGEMENT (MPM)
Unlike traditional Master in Public Administration programs, the MPM places an emphasis on knowledge, habits of mind, analytic skills and managerial capabilities that are highly transferable across sectors and policy domains. The program is designed for mid-career professionals, with at least three years of work experience, who wish to upgrade or update their understanding of public policy and strengthen their leadership and management skills. The program can also meet the demand for managers and professionals working in the non-profit or private sector who wish to gain knowledge and insights about decision-making and implementation in the public sector. While most of our students, especially those from the civil service, will seek career advancement opportunities in their current organizations, graduates from this program will be sought after for work in governments, in the part of the private sector that work with governments, and in the fast-growing sector of domestic and international non- governmental organizations. The MPM will equip them with a skillset that enables them to move across these sectors – as competent managers and potential leaders. Prof. Pauline NG, SBS Director, Hong Kong Policy Research Centre, Tianda Institute Adjunct Professor, Division of Public Policy, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Former Secretary-General, Legislative Council Secretariat “The MPM program is well-positioned to equip civil servants and those in utility companies and IT consultants to pursue our dream in making Hong Kong a liveable city that will bring sustainable benefits to our people.” 4 Prof. Anthony CHEUNG, GBS, JP Research Chair Professor, Department of Asian and Policy Studies, The Education University of Hong Kong Adjunct Professor, Division of Public Policy, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Former Secretary for Transport and Housing, HKSAR Government “The MPM program should prepare students for senior management roles in organizations providing public services or having frequent interactions with the public sector… It can provide students with an interdisciplinary study with a strong emphasis on the policy, management and governance issues concerning technological innovation and sustainability.” BUILDING CAPACITY FOR IMPACT IN PUBLIC SERVICE
