SAMENVATTING PUBLIC MANAGEMENT 2018-2019
INTRODUCING PUBLIC MANAGEMENT
1) Introduction
Old Public Administration
(OPA)
New Public Management (NPM) New Public Governance (NPG)
!!! - Equal treatment
- Rule of law
(no corruption)
- Professional civil servants
(being neutral)
- Efficiency + effectiveness
- Small Government that runs like a
business
- Free market
- Societal needs
- Wicked (global) issues work
together
- Citizen participation, partnership,
collaboration
(-) - Lack of transparency
- Red tape = unnecessary
paperwork
(- Big Government)
- Government ≠ solution = problem
- We need more than efficiency +
effectiveness what about climate
change, multicultural integration … ?
1900s: “Weberian
bureaucracy”
“Golden days of the jurists”
1960s – 1980s: Thatcher + Reagan
“Golden days of the economists”
(Milton Friedman)
Interorganisational
Government is only 1 part (networks)
balance these movements: performance + professionalism + politics
2) Definition:
“Serving public needs can be a matter of producing cost-effective services for individual
customers (performance), a matter of well-trained and motivated professionals working for
clients (professionalism), or a matter of competitively or collaboratively serving societal
needs (politics).”
How? Through Public Management
PM = “The use of organizational resources in and by public and non-profit organizations to
coordinate social efforts, so that objectives can be accomplished and public needs are met.”
3) Not 1 ideal PM: Competing PM logics
Performance Professionalism Politics
Resources Money, people, materials Experts, professionals,
clients
Ideas, attention, political actors
Objectives +
needs
Private needs: customer
satisfaction, productivity,
profit
Professional needs:
expertise, autonomy,
craftsmanship
Public needs: political agendas, checks
+ balances, publicness
Social action +
coordination
Optimization of systems,
through contracts,
hierarchy
Organizational spaces +
climate, through
associations, socialization
Collaboration + contestation, through
networks, stakeholders
Values Efficiency, effectiveness Quality, reliability, safety Justice, solidarity, legitimacy
4) Recap
PM is influenced by logics underlying OPA, NPM and NPG
PM is thus about balancing seemingly competing logics based on the organizational
context
Public managers need to manage performance, professionals and politics to do so.
