I am struck by the breadth of the relevance of religion to public administration. The authors illuminate the relevance of the world’s great religions to the field as a whole and to prominent research streams, such as public service motivation. Ongaro and Tantardini offer new perspectives for all public administration scholars to consider and embrace in their research and teaching.’ – James L.

Researchers and practitioners extend this line of research constantly by producing journals, posts, news articles and podcasts. However, there is a paucity of a book that covers descriptive, diagnostic, predictive and prescriptive method-based research papers under one umbrella. This is one of those books which will immerse a reader in the past, present and future of big data analytics methods. It is an exceptional book that is grounded in evidence and meaningful to practice.’ – Yogesh K.
