How has New Public Management influenced social policy reform in different developed welfare states? New managerialism is conceptualized as a paradigm, which not only shapes the decision-making process in bureaucratic organizations but also affects the practice of individuals (citizens). Public administrations have been expected to transform from traditional bureaucratic organizations into modern managerial service providers by adopting a business model that requires the efficient and effective use of resources. The introduction of managerial practices, controlling and accounting systems, management by objectives, computerization, service orientation, increased outsourcing, competitive structures and decentralized responsibility are typical of efforts to increase efficiency. These developments have been accompanied by the abolition of civil service systems and fewer secure jobs in public administrations. This book provides a sociological understanding of how public administrations deal with this transformation, how people's role as public servants is affected, and what kind of strategies emerge either to meet these new organizational requirements or to circumvent them. It shows how hybrid arrangements of public services are created between the public and the private sphere that lead to conflicts of interest between private strategies and public tasks as well as to increasingly homogeneous social welfare provision across Europe.

Ronald Staples geht der Frage nach, wie eine Organisation heute entscheiden kann, was übermorgen als neu gegolten haben wird. In einer detaillierten Fallstudie rekonstruiert der Autor diese Frage als Übersetzungsprobleme. Innovationsverfahren werden als Übersetzungsleistungen verstanden, die sich aus widerstreitenden Anforderungen an die Gestaltung von Zukunft ergeben. Die Innovationssemantik zeigt sich als eine spezifische Semantik einer Gesellschaft, die ihre Zukunft gestalten muss, ohne wissen zu können, wie diese Zukunft aussehen wird.
