Sample text

Discretionary limits were set through legislative and policy frameworks, and the controls and means managers had at their disposal were a range of financial, human resource and other managerial tools. Managers were also encouraged to be more entrepreneurial and innovative. In order to enhance competition in the public sector, contracts and public tendering procedures were incorporated under the NPM paradigm. Criticisms of NPM In recent years, there has been an increasing amount of criticism levelled at NPM.

The TPA was based on political and legal rationality, whereas NPM was based on neoclassical economics and managerial values and practices; thus representing a shift from the role of policy development to management and from a focus on processes to outputs. As a paradigm, NPM attempted to better its predecessor by incorporating principles from business models and neoclassical and institutional economics (Barzelay 2002; Gow and Dufour 2000; Kaboolian 1998; Lane 2005; Osborne and Gaebler 1992). NPM was also associated with administrative techniques such as deregulation, privatisation, decentralisation, meritbased pay, partnerships, competition and customer orientation (Gow and Dufour 2000; Kaboolian 1998; Klijn 2008; Lynn 2006); and values such as economy, service, responsiveness, dynamism, mission and flexibility (Box 1999; Gow and Dufour 2000; Gray and Jenkins 1995).

Morrell (2009) contends that the usage of the term governance varies in different disciplines, and Kersbergen and Waarden (2004), 145–148) offer seven different contexts where ‘governance’ is used, ranging from economic development to international relations theory. A common strand that emerges from the use of governance in the field of public administration is the importance of networks and pressure groups (Bevir 2011; Kersbergen and Waarden 2004), and the focus on improving inter-organisational coordination to improve policy processes and to link actors to these processes (Klijn 2008).
