The number of participants in this course will be restricted, in case there are more registrations than open places there will be a selection process for participating in the introductory session.
Managing performance is a common denominator in all reform models. This course is about understanding the content of managing performance as a driver for public sector reform. Three models of reform will be presented: New Public Management (a market based model), Neo Weberian State (a hierarchy based model), and New Public Governance (a network based model). The connection with performance implies its measurement, its incorporation, and its use.
The models will be illustrated with examples from ‘pilot’ countries in the OECD. Students will be required to present texts, to critically assess these, and to implement them to their home country or their 'chosen country'. There will be exercises in class, including a role play of a performance budget and discussions on quality models in the public sector.
