Preferred term

new public management  

Definition(s)

  • The label new public management (NPM) is widely used as an umbrella term covering a broad range of managerial reform strategies that have dominated the secular trend of public-sector change since the early 1980s. Despite the considerable degree of variation among the broad church of NPM-inspired reform measures, the import of microeconomic thinking and methods into the management of public organizations, as well as the leaning toward private-sector management as a normative ideal, can serve as a common denominator.
