,Introducing public management (Chapter 1)
Goals:
 Provide clarity concerning course content, planning and examination
 Knowledge: What are “Old Public Administration”, “New Public Management” and “New
Public Governance”? What is public management?
 Insights: Which logics underlie these movements and what does this mean for public
management?

Public administration program
“Our mission is to inspire, motivate and train new public servants, people with a great level of public
service motivation who can help to transform the public sector in our country and abroad, towards a
more efficient, effective and democratic organization and functioning.”

Public management is about creating actual people, people who can actually implement and realize
change. It’s about making things happen or help with it. This means that they have to create public
value, but what does it mean? For this we have to go back in time.

Old public administration (OPA)
 “Weberian bureaucracy” (synonym)
 Professional civil servants
 Equal treatment for all
 Rule of law dominates
 It was necessary in that time, but it has become red tape/administrative burden.
 There was no government in the early 1900
 Public sector had to occur at least 2 values: rule of law and offering equal treatment for all
 It is still needed in some countries who aren’t that developed like Belgium à still relevant
 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKIE3IUkkp8&t=6s

New public management (NPM)
 Reagan / Thatcher
o Reagan: “Governments are not the solution for our problems, but the problem”
o Idea: maybe we don’t need so much government
o Thatcher: “…” (shows skepticism)
 Government efficiency and effectiveness (core aspects beside rule of law and equality)
 Small government that runs like a business
 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XObcP69dhCg&t=3s
 Idea: we need more than the 2 public values (consequences of WOII and economic crisis)
 Go too far?
o Merges of local government: zero evidence that it results in higher effectiveness and
efficiency

New public governance (NPG)
 Societal needs
 Outcome-focused (e.g. inclusiveness) & transparent
o Public value: added accountability and transparency
o Shifts from purely measuring effectiveness and efficiency to actually looking at
outcomes: what are you changing with your policies
 Citizen participation (voice), partnership, collaboration, stewardship

5

, o Not enough to form policies for citizens and implement, the citizen takes a crucial
role in the policy process
o If we want to achieve import societal outcomes, we need to work together
 European movement
 It introduces additional characteristics of public value
 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e96vrCJ6LC8&t=51s

Examples
Article UN:

 Focus on bureaucracy in UN
 If you want to create public value, you need to think about all the characteristics

Article Greece:

 The reforms are focused on NPM values, what about quality, government outcomes, equal
treatment…

Article Klimaatmars

 Example when governments go(ne) to far

What does this mean for you?
“[S]erving public needs can be a matter of producing cost-effective services for individual customers
(performance), a matter of well-trained and motivated professionals working for clients
(professionalism), or a matter of competitively or collaboratively serving societal needs (politics).”

 Performance: efficiency and effectiveness
 Professionalism: rule of law and equality
 Politics: societal and governmental outcomes
 They need to manage all of those three things in the hope of making sure that public value is
being created. That’s the role of a public manager.

But how? Through public management
“The use of organizational resources in and by public and non-profit organizations to coordinate
social efforts, so that objectives can be accomplished and public needs are met.” (definition)

Not one “ideal” public management
Competing public management logics

Performance Professionalism Politics
Resources Money, people, Experts, professionals, Ideas, attention,
materials clients political actors

Objectives and needs Private needs: Professional needs: Public needs: political
customer satisfaction, expertise, autonomy, agendas, checks and
productivity, profit craftsmanship balances, publicness

Social action and Optimization of Organizational spaces Collaboration and
coordination systems through and climate through contestation through
contracts, hierarchy associations, networks,
socialization stakeholders
Values Efficiency, Quality, reliability, Justice, solidarity,

, effectiveness safety legitimacy


Public management exists of three parts: performance, professionalism and politics

Video:

 Planning to make government more effective
 Emphasizing need for accountability and ???
 Legal requirements
 As public manager you have a toolbox at your disposal and use specific tools based on the
problem you need to solve.

Recap
 Public management is influenced by logics underlying OPA, NPM and NPG.
 Public management is thus about balancing seemingly competing logics based on the
organizational context.
 A public manager needs to manage performance, manage professionals and manage politics
to do so.



The rise of Public Management (chapter 2)
Goals
 Knowledge: Public management? Different meanings? Public, private and nonprofit
organizations? New Public Management? Types of managers?
 Insights: What are similarities and differences between public and private management, and
between public and private organizations?
 Apply: How to “change” management to fit the context of a specific public or nonprofit
organization.

Recap en quiz last week
Quiz
 Public management includes (1) (2) (3)….
 Public management in its definition is not about making profit, however it can occur, but it is
not the core objective.

Example: Trumps wall
 Managing performance: costs, department of infrastructure
 Managing professionals: people who are doing the construction, local police…
 Managing politics: what would you do if your values conflicts with Trumps
 => balance these out

Gorillia government: public managers are taking control, are refusing to implement policies that
conflict with their values.

As public manager you have to make sure that you are creating something for society.

Definitions and meanings
Different definitions
 Not only reaching objectives – objectives accomplished
