Marlène Läubli Loud, John Mayne, Enhancing Evaluation Use: Insights from Internal Evaluation Units
Enhancing Evaluation Use: Insights from Internal Evaluation Units concentrates on evaluations carried out by and/or on behalf of governmental and non-governmental organizations. Its aim is to help organizations become more focused on using evaluation to improve policies, strategies, programming and delivery of public and communal services. Existing theories of how this should be done are compared with the practical experiences of a range of national and international, government and non-governmental agencies. The book is written from the insider′s perspective on what helps or hinders making evaluations more relevant and useful to organizations and their needs.
Marvin C. Alkin, Evaluation Roots: A Wider Perspective of Theorists′ Views and Influences, Second Edition
Evaluation Roots: A Wider Perspective of Theorists′ Views and Influences, Second Edition, provides a contemporary examination of evaluation theories and traces their evolution. Marvin C. Alkin shows how theories are related to one another, especially in terms of how new theories build on existing ideas. The way in which these evaluation "roots" grow to form a tree helps provide readers with a better understanding of evaluation theory. In addition to the editor′s overview, the book contains essays by leading evaluation theorists that describe the evaluators′ personal theories and how they were developed.
