Governing government sector is not quite different with managing a company. When the purpose of private sector is to corporate stability and long-lasting profit ability, in fact the purpose of public sector is not much different. The purpose of public sector is to improve community welfare and community trust to government. Welfare itself could be accomplished if the implementation of the development program itself gives positive impact for the society.
