Who/what is responsible for the changes that affect the various services? Socio-cultural changes, e.g.: • Worldwide migration movements • The global impact of the internet • The rationalizing efforts of the New Public management • Introduction of IT • All other aspects of contemporary rationalization • The various individualizing tendencies of our society Gastelaars, 2009: 1
What is the book’s ultimate aim? To make sense what is going on inside these various services in and around the public domain. To show how day-to- day activities are affected by these general societal changes, but that during these reconstructions these services should continue their “business “ uninterrupted. Gastelaars, 2009: 2
Can you mention some examples of what is going on in the media about the public services on Aruba?

Definition of service Services are organizations whose principle function is to protect, maintain or enhance the personal well-being of individuals by defining, shaping, or altering their personal attributes (Hasenfeld 1983:1 in Gastelaars, 200: 6) Eendienst is eenactiviteit of eenserieactiviteitendie min of meerontastbaarzijn, die meestalgeproduceerdwordenin interactietussenklant en dienstverlenendbedrijf door middel van medewerkers, apparatuur en/of systemen (Grönroos, 2000 in Van der AA & Elfring, 2003:11).
Definition of service An appropriate description of what ‘organized services are about should contain at least three elements: 1. Services are generally organized around a primary process that consists of a series of client contacts that together make up the process of service delivery, as arranged by the organization. 2. The process of service delivery is arranged around one or more specific core services performing specific interventions, with specific aims, in the condition of clients. These core services require an ‘organized’ client relationship involving both the organizations’ service professionals and their clients. 3. Such ‘organized services’ are not only expected to account for organizational values such as effectiveness and efficiency but also for specific core values related to the core service(s) they are to perform. Together these specifications provide their bottom line (Gastelaars, 2009: 7).
