| | NPM: an entrepreneurial approach to government -DAWN - Business; October 1, 2001 |
 | | The NPM has dominated public sector reforms in many OECD nations, requiring public organizations to shift their focus from “process towards purpose, reorganise their structures around programmes and strategy, adopt the financial and human resources management approaches of the private sector, and the de-bureaucratised forms of organization emerging there”. |
 | | Managerialism can be said to embrace an elevation of, and reliance on, the role of management where values of leadership, entrepreneurialism, strategy development and output orientation are practised within a frame-work of explicit goals and constraints set by the government which form the contractual obligations of the new public manager. |
 | | The NPM emphasises the need for new ways of solving governmental problems or creating opportunities, not as public activities in themselves, but by way of cooperation between public and private actors in concrete problems or situations presenting opportunities. |
