Opis

New public management is a topical phrase to describe how management techniques from the private sector are now being applied to public services. This book provides an up-to-date overview of the main theoretical models of public sector management, and examines the key changes that have occurred as more and more public services are contracted out to private organizations, as the public sector itself grapples with internal markets. Drawing on economics, organizational theory and politics, the text presents new public management from an analytical perspective. It uses game theory and empirical studies in order to assess the pros and cons of new public management.
