- Abstract
- Several management paradigms—traditional public administration,
new public administration, new public management (NPM), and networked
governance—have been leaders in practice and in the academic world of public
administration at different time periods. However all these management paradigms
have a negative aspect in common—a one-size-fits-all approach to government
reforms. This study tries to overcome this approach, utilizing a contingent method.
Each of the four paradigms has been suggested for adoption in one or two areas
of different policy types based on a two-by-two table with the dimensions of
high and low with respect to market mechanisms and high and low on the
explicitness of the politics-administration dichotomy. The study proposes that
traditional public administration would be the appropriate choice in the areas of
redistributive and constituent policy. New public administration would work
well for regulatory policy, whereas networked governance and NPM (customeroriented
practices) would be the right choice in the arena of distributive policy.
