The article dwells upon the matters of manual control in the system of government instruments: its place, role, means and limits of its engagement in public administration. The author gives definition of «manual control in public administration» and draws the conclusion, that relegation of manual control technologies in public administration to solely negative manifestations is unfounded. Moreover, a reasonably balanced mix of regular institutional governance and case-by-case manual control management is a prerequisite for public administration as it is one of the rulers of the state management tools. Besides, the author describes peculiar properties of manual control as emergency management and precision control. The article is based on the methods of system analysis, synthesis, and induction. The application of these methods has allowed to define the distinctive characteristics of manual control in public administration, and to circumscribe the use of this management technique.
