The public sector (in)efficiency: Croatian experience

The efficiency is one of the basic questions in each organization, no matter are they functioning in the public or private sector. An efficient organization is considered to produce the maximum possible outputs given its inputs, or to produce a certain level of output with the minimum amount of inputs. While the importance of efficiency in the public sector is widely recognized, its measurement in the public sector remains a challenge due to its complexity. The purpose of this paper is to present a notion and concept of the efficiency in the public sector. In the light of theoretical concept of efficiency, the paper will briefly discuss the (in)efficiency of the public sector, i.e. public administration of the Republic of Croatia.
