Abstract

The New Public Management has been in existence and debated since the early 1980s. Some critics, on the one hand, argue that it embraces many new concepts and propositions. However, some scholars, including Frederickson, on the other hand, assert that New Public Management offers nothing new. Rather, it is an old wine in a new bottle. This study suggests that New Public Management drastically affects governmental production and delivery of the goods and services, by introducing many new concepts and propositions to the field of public administration. Nevertheless, it presents conflicting proposals and strikingly different juxtapositions.
