摘要：作者认为，过去十年左右公共和非营利部门的发展对评估专业产生了深远的影响，但这些影响尚未得到充分解决。他们认为，如果评价希望在这些部门的组织管理中发挥重要作用，就需要进行自我转变。除了传统的评价研究之外，在公共和非营利组织工作的评价人员还需要（a）领导成果管理制系统的开发，（b）利用这些信息和所有可用的评价信息，加强组织学习和知识管理，以及（c）创建评价知识的分析流。如果不能应对这些挑战，评估在公共和非营利部门管理中的作用将被边缘化和削弱。
Abstract: The authors contend that developments in the public and not-for-profit sectors over the last decade or so have profound implications for the profession of evaluation, implications that are not being adequately addressed. They argue that evaluation needs to transform itself if it wishes to play a significant role in the management of organizations in these sectors. Beyond traditional evaluation studies, evaluators working in public and not-for-profit organizations need to (a) lead the development of results-based management systems, (b) using this and all available evaluative information, strengthen organizational learning and knowledge management, and (c) create analytic streams of evaluative knowledge. Failing to grasp these challenges will result in a marginalized and diminished role for evaluation in public and not-for-profit sector management.
