New Public Management. Lane, Jan-Erik. UK: Routledge Press. 2000.http://www.routledge.com/New public management is a topical phrase to describe how management techniquesfrom the private sector are now being applied to public services. This book provides acompletely up-to-date overview of the main theoretical models of public sectormanagement, and examines the key changes that have occurred as more and more publicservices are contracted out to private organizations, as the public sector itself grappleswith 'internal markets'. Drawing on economics, organizational theory and politics, Jan-Erik Lane presents new public management from an analytical perspective. This bookuses game theory and empirical studies in order to assess the pros and cons of new publicmanagement.Keywords: new public management, public administration, textbookPublic Management as Art, Science, and Profession.
