New Public Management ‘Steering not Rowing’ “Run government like a business” Hood and Jackson coined the term NPM From red tape to results: Creating a Government that Works better and Costs less
1-New Public Management A management philosophy used by governments to modernize the public sector . A broad and very complex term used to describe the wave of public sector reforms throughout the world since the 1980s . The main hypothesis in the NPM-reform movement is that introducing market orientation in the public sector will lead to greater cost-efficiency for governments.
NPM from traditional public administration to public management. Key elements include various forms of decentralizing Management functions Fiscal Operations HR management increasing use of markets and competition in the provision of public services Increasing emphasis on performance , outputs and customer orientation .
NPM NPM- techniques and practices are drawn mainly from the private sector. NPM reforms have been driven by a combination of economic , social , political and technological factors . Countries facing economic and fiscal crises, which triggered the quest for efficiency.
NPM In the case of developing countries, reforms in public administration and management have been driven more by external pressures and have taken place in the context of structural adjustment programmes , include lending conditionalities and the increasing emphasis on good governance. Hood and Jackson coined the term NPM

NPM -----Analysis The NPM has presented itself as an alternative to the traditional “bureaucratic” way of conducting the public’s “business.” The NPM holds that government should engage in only those activities that cannot be privatized or contracted out. Market mechanisms should be employed wherever possible so that citizens will have choices among service delivery options.
NPM Analysis the New Public Management suggests that public managers “steer rather than row,” That they move toward becoming monitors of policy implementation or purchasers of services rather than being directly involved in service delivery itself. In NPM, there seems theoretical commitments to such ideas as public choice theory and agency theory. In general, NPM uses economic models in the design and implementation of public policy
“ Those who steer the boat have far more power over its destination than those who row it.” Governments with their preoccupation with rules and hierarchical chains of command, no longer work very well.
