Synopsis

Elgar Advanced Introductions are stimulating and thoughtful introductions to major fields in the social sciences, business and law, expertly written by the world’s leading scholars. Designed to be accessible yet rigorous, they offer concise and lucid surveys of the substantive and policy issues associated with discrete subject areas.



This Advanced Introduction provides an overview of the nature and impact of New Public Management (NPM) reforms in public sector management. Ewan Ferlie evaluates key theories, case studies and the evolution of NPM, demonstrating its ongoing influence on contemporary organizations.



Key Features:

  • Assesses professional-managerial hybrids in NPM
  • Examines global case studies in health, social care and higher education
  • Analyzes the links between NPM, schools of strategic management and theories of innovation
  • Explores ‘soft’ NPM, emphasising cultural change rather than incentives and performance management



Insightful and accessible, this Advanced Introduction is a valuable resource for scholars and students in business and management, politics and public policy, organizational change and innovation. It is also prime reading for public managers and consultants seeking a deeper understanding of the impact of NPM.
