New Public Management:
The Era of ManagerialismDr. Lloyd Bautista
Dwight Waldo’s Post-Bureaucracy
“…a future society in which bureaucracy in the Weberian sense would have been replaced by more democratic, flexible, though more complex, forms of large scale organization”.
Dwight Waldo
New Public Administration (1968 to 1980s)
Backlash from Vietnam and Watergate Counterculture Civil rights movement, feminist, consumer, and
gay movements Assassinations of charismatic figures – JFK
and Martin Luther King Growing anti-government
New Public Administration (NPA) (1968 to 1980s)
In 1968, Dwight Waldo sponsored a conference at the Syracuse University’s Minnowbrook Conference Center.
Deconstruct the value-free rational bureaucratic approach
Open it humanistic and democratic influence.
Issues affecting US society: poverty, inequality, neglect of human rights, racisms, or Vietnam war
Ethical tone and pro-active role of the government.
Minnowbrook Conference
New Public Administration
Need to re-define the role of the bureaucracy
What should it be within the broad concept of justice & equity
Bureaucrats should go beyond the positivist directives
They should gain a more broader & critical perspective of their role in governance
Reconciling PA w/ democratic representation
Not all interests are represented by Congress, Executive, or interest groups
PA has a valid claim to being a representative of the people
Is representation to be found only in elected officials?
PA is not subservient to any branch of government
It has a special trusteeship role within the Constitution
Public Administrator’s New Role
Exercise discretionary powers with respect to Constitutional values
Act in a professional manner Nurture the trustee role More than an artful dodger or referee of
interest groups To be critically conscious in pursuit of the
public interest
Public Administrator’s New Role
Expand the rank of judicious few by stimulating reasoned debate on public interest
Act responsibly and with responsiveness Educate and encourage hard work to solve
public problems Critical analysis (ex. Market) Work for the long-term education of elected
officials
Fall of Big Government
History of NPM Anti-government trend Deficit, high taxes, waste and inefficiencies Bureaucratic bashing
US President Carter called for deregulation of industries, reduction of federal red tape, and civil service reforms
US President Reagan reduced funding and authority of federal programs and agencies
US President Clinton came up with the NPR
US President Bush called for privatization of social security
US President Obama appointed a Chief Performance Officer
New Public Management Theory
Idea to run government like a businessUse of market mechanism in governanceNew ways (innovation) of achieving results or
outsourcing functions to the private sectorGovernment as Entrepreneurial & CatalystNew Institutional Economics (NIE)
Public Choice Theory (Maximizing Self-Interest)Moral Hazard and Principal-Agent ProblemInformation Assymetry
Public (Rational) Choice Theory
Maximize self-interest
Choice is based on benefits/costs
Human behavior
Moral Hazard/Principal-Agent Problem
Theory of Moral HazardPrincipal -Agent
Transaction costs for the Principal to monitor the Agent in order that the latter acts in accordance to the former’s interest.
How can one design a compensating system (contracts) that makes the agent act for the principal’s interest according to the agent’s own self-interest?
Agent (insured) behaves in a way that the Principal (insurer) perceives the probability or magnitude of harm rises to the principal
Examples
• Insurance• GOCCs• Outsourcing/BOT• Agrarian Reform• Decentralization of LGUs• Underpaid government employee
Solutions: Aligning objectives
• Sanctions or penalties• Monitoring• Participation, collaterals, or deductibles• Performance benchmarks• Stock options, profit sharing, and
commission
Public Management is rolling back government!
Dis-aggregationPurchaser-provider separation schemes (e.g. NAIA
& DMIA Terminal) De-coupling policy and operations (e.g. ERB &
IPPs )
CompetitionQuasi-markets (e.g. Attack helicopters for
competitive Bidding)Deregulation (e.g. Telecom)
Incentivization “Light touch” regulation (e.g. CHED) Privatizing asset ownership (e.g. Napocor) Performance-based pay (e.g. GOCCs)

Reinventing Government Movement
David Osborne and Ted Gaebler wrote a best-selling book “Reinventing Government” in 1992
Similar to Tom Peters & Waterman’s “In Search for Excellence”
Provided provocative and challenging ideas on approaches to public management
They attacked the traditional public administration and called for reinvention
David OsborneTed Gaebler
Reinventing Government They cited examples of
entrepreneurial government Decentralizing Encouraging privatization Control of programs at the
community level Increasing attention to
customers Finding ways to make money
on government operations
Donald Kettl’s global public management reform:
Economic efficiency – less for moreUse of markets against the bureaucratic
pathologiesWider choices for citizensDecentralize services for responsivenessInnovativeness in monitoring policiesSeparate roles of government (consumer,
enabler, and direct provider)Focus on outputs vs. outcomes

Addressing redundancy & duplication of functions
Reconfiguring the work process
Rethinking Re-evaluation of the org; its identity, purpose, & business models
HISTORY: Total Quality Management
Two catch phrases – “Doing things right for the first time” and “Working smarter, not longer”.
TQM is a set of principles, tools, and procedures that provide guidance in the practical affairs of running an organization.
It is ‘total’ because it attempts to involve everyone in controlling and continuously improving how work is done, in order to meet customers’ expectation of quality.
Historical Origin
Walter Shewart of Bell Laboratories in 1920s developed the Statistical Process Control (SPC), which is used to measure variances or problems in the production process.
He also invented the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) technique, which aims to increase the level of performance through iterative and continuous fashion
Japanese 5 - S• 5S is a method for organizing a workplace, especially a shared
workplace (like a shop floor or an office space), and keeping it organized.
• Phase 1 - Seiri ( 整理 ) Sorting: Going through all the tools, materials, etc., in the work area and keeping only essential items. Everything else is stored or discarded.
• Phase 2 - Seiton ( 整頓 ) Stabilize or Set in Order: We arrange the tools, equipment and parts in a manner that maximizes work efficiency .
• Phase 3 - Seisō ( 清掃 ) Shining: Systematic Cleaning or the need to keep the workplace clean as well as neat. At the end of each shift, the work area is cleaned up and everything is restored to its place.
• Phase 4 - Seiketsu ( 清潔 ) Standardizing: Standardized work practices is instituted. Everyone knows exactly what his or her responsibilities are to keep above 3S's.
• Phase 5 - Shitsuke ( 躾 ) Sustaining: Refers to maintaining and reviewing standards. Once the previous 4S's have been established, they become the new way to operate. Maintain the focus on this new way of operating, and do not allow a gradual decline back to the old ways of operating.
Japanese 5 - S
Historical Origin
After WWII, Deming and Co. introduced quality management with Kaoru Ishikawa adding the internal customers as beneficiaries of quality outputs.
The Japanese experience made ‘TQM’ teams popular.
The early forerunners of TQM opened the organization to a constant stream of new ideas for improving performance, derived from scientific study involving everyone to satisfy internal and external customers.
Lean Production Techniques
• Minimize waste, improve efficiency and quality, eliminate bottlenecks and slack
• Calls for job rotation, cross-training, multiple tasking, and teamwork
• Interaction and communication among work teams are facilitated by kamban system
• Just-in-time production – supply and raw materials are delivered only when needed; lean zero-nature of production

The Managerial Approach
Focus on results and personal accountability Make organizations, personnel, and
employment more flexible Clear objectives and indicators for
measurement Senior staff are politically committed to the
government rather than neutral Separate “provision” from “sourcing-out” public
goods Lesser government intervention
Rise of Managerialism in the Public Sector
Government as a night watchman Spiraling budget deficits Government is synonymous to waste,
fraud, and abuse Public disillusionment & anti-government
sentiment
Rise of NPM Thought in West
Popularity in US and UK of Neo-conservatism in 80s– Ronald Reagan– Margaret Thatcher
Rise in post-modernism EU Charter’s fiscal demand -“All member
states shall avoid excessive governmental deficit.”
Privatization frenzy of state-owned enterprise
Role of Development Banks
WB, IMF, ADB and OECD– Aid and financial assistance linked to anti-
bureaucratic themes (SAPs) Fall of Communism and triumph of the
free market Advances in ICT made comparison
between private and public service
Public Management Reform
Political pressures to maintain the same levels of public service
Improve productivity (Cost, Quality, & Time)– Why should we hire when we can outsource?– Why should we have fixed security of
tenures?
First calls for Productivity: OECD
• Raise the production performance– Improvement HR management– Involve staff in decision making– Relax controls while impose strict
performance targets– Use ICT– Improve feedback from clients and quality
service– Bring supply and demand decisions together
Greater use of the private sector
• Dependable, efficient and competitive public procurement system
• End monopoly over public goods
Hood’s (1991) NPM
Hands-on professional management Explicit standards and performance
measures Greater emphasis on output controls Disaggregation of units Greater competition Private sector styles in management Fiscal discipline in resources
Privatization– Switch from public funded to user fees– Contracting-out public good or service– De-nationalization or selling-out state-owned
enterprises– De-monopolization or eliminating restrictions that
prevent private firms from competing with state-owned enterprises
Freeing the market thru privatization.

Program ownership and participation
1. Community-oriented - people assisting the technical staff sent by the government through the information they made available to them.
2. Community-based - partnership between the state representatives and people’s organizations during the decision-making process. Information to make proper decision are gathered and supplied by the members of the community.
3. Community-managed - the highest expression of people’s participation when the community itself initiates, creates, monitors, and evaluates projects and programs.
Marketization Idea to run government like a
business Use of market mechanism in
governance, such as outsourcing functions or privatization
Government as Entrepreneurial & Catalyst
• Section 13, Article 10 of the 1987 Constitution:
Sec. 13. Local government units may group themselves, consolidate or coordinate efforts, services, and resources for purposes commonly beneficial to them in accordance with law.
Public – Private Partnership
The PPP essentially ties the participants into a common goals, where both their fortunes are linked to the success of the overall project, thus, creating the incentives for both to cooperate, innovate, and even assume risks for mutual benefits (Forrer, et al, 2010).
Challenges in NPM Complexity (e.g. PPP) and power
struggles (e.g. IPP) Freedom from rules threaten
accountability and check-and-balances Diverging interests, values, vision, and
mission (Business vs. Public) Flexibility can also lead to dysfunctional
bureaucratic behavior Empowering customers can turn out to be
“interest groups”
Challenges in NPM Institutional uncertainty and instability Markets dilute the public service ethos Abandonment of less profitable customers User fees may hit the less privilege Competition rather than cooperation
Case 1: You were hired as a manager. You found out that your unit has 30 people to receive and process application forms in the insurance business. There were 5 steps required to process the application forms starting-off with receiving, inspection, evaluation, computation and ending with approval. Your 30 people were divided into 5 divisions. You were asked by your boss to improve the process? Give him ways and strategies to do so?
Receiving Inspection Evaluation Computation Approval
Case 2: A company has an in-house medical clinic servicing both central and field personnel offices. The problem is that the clinic is stationed in your headquarters in Metro Manila. Your employees in the branches had to travel to enjoy such privileges. You are the new SVP for Administration, in which said clinic is under your supervision. Provide a solution to address the problem.
Case 3: In your community, the local council wanted to promote the segregation of waste. An ordinance was passed to enforce segregation but the people just ignored. Lately, you noticed that the administrative expense in garbage collection, segregation and disposal was steadily rising. Thus, the local council asked your help to come up with a strategy to encourage people in following the ordinance.
Case 4: A government agency gives credit loans to farmers to assist them in increasing their rural productivity. However, the agency discovered that there is low collection payment, absence of technical competence and security in the loans. Farmers also complained of difficult loan requirements, such as documentation and accreditation, which results to barriers in access and availability.
How will you address this dilemma in light of NPM?
