Public Sector Management in New Zealand
Graham Scott

Graham Scott led the most thorough rethink of public administration of any OECD country in the last two decades. His practitioner-led revolution in New Zealand, fitted a robust intellectual framework to the loose set of commerce-based reforms which had hitherto comprised New Public Management. Key innovations pioneered by Scott in the late eighties are now being picked up as international best practice throughout the developed world, Scott is a man of big ideas who made things happen. The strength of this book is the coherence of its founding ideas, and the clarity and honesty of his reflections on the efforts to apply them. Alex Matheston IMF/POUMA
