This open access book presents a topical, comprehensive and
differentiated analysis of Germany's public administration and
reforms. It provides an overview on key elements of German public
administration at the federal, Lander and local levels of
government as well as on current reform activities of the public
sector. It examines the key institutional features of German public
administration; the changing relationships between public
administration, society and the private sector; the administrative
reforms at different levels of the federal system and numerous
sectors; and new challenges and modernization approaches like
digitalization, Open Government and Better Regulation. Each chapter
offers a combination of descriptive information and
problem-oriented analysis, presenting key topical issues in Germany
which are relevant to an international readership.
A volume in Research in Public Management Series Editor: Lawrence
R. Jones, Naval Postgraduate School After the New Public Management
had evolved in English speaking countries, it became a role model
for the reform of public administration all throughout the world.
Although there were obvious similarities in terminology used in
different countries, the model was usually adapted to the cultural
and political context in which it had to be embedded. This also
resulted in significant conceptual differences, so that nowadays,
there is no one single NPM in the world. In contrast to the
original NPM model, this version puts emphasis on responsibility
rather than accountability of public managers; it is strictly
focused on the outcomes of public services rather than the output
level; and it is grounded on the Rechtsstaat tradition of
Continental European countries. Thus, the label that has been used
in German ever since, Wirkungsorientierte Verwaltungsfuhrung, is
consequently translated into 'outcome-oriented public management'
(OPM). This book is an English version of a German classic teaching
book. In its original form, it was first published in 2000 and
constantly revised according to latest developments in practice.
Currently, it's 4th edition is selling in German speaking
countries. Written for students and practitioners in public
administration, the book describes the OPM model and its roots, and
it discusses benefits and drawbacks of this model in practice. It
is a perfect introduction into the new thinking of outcome
orientation in the public sector.
In an international context, public management arrangements differ
significantly from country to country, but also regionally and
locally. One reason for these differences may be differences in
culture resulting in differing views of the state and its
institutions. This may sound trivial, but it becomes highly
important when public management reform models are proposed and
transferred from one country to others, such as was (and still is)
the case with, for example, the new public management. Scholars in
public management as well as internationally acting practitioners
should be aware of the impact culture has on the possibilities and
limits of concept transfers between different jurisdictions. Having
said this, one precondition for a better consideration of cultural
elements in public management reforms is a better understanding of
culture itself. Among the public management community, cultural
theory has gained considerable attention. There are, however, other
concepts for the analysis of cultural facts that may be of interest
to the subject, too.
In this book, cultural influences (including organizational culture
of public organizations) on public management and its reform are
explored. Articles address definitions and conceptualizations of
culture in the context of public management, cultural artifacts in
public management, and give examples of cultural elements in public
management from various countries. This volume helps to structure
the discussion of cultural elements and points out approaches to
study and incorporate cultural aspects in public management
research and debate.
