Title International Public Management Network Symposium: "New Public Management Has Been Completely Discredited, Thank God!"
 
Creator Jones, L. R.
 
Description In late February 2004, well-known and highly respected Canadian academic Donald Savoie was appointed  to  assist  the  Canadian  government,  "to  help  overhaul  the  management  and accountability of government in the aftermath of [a] scandal." Among the remarks Savoie made to the press upon appointment was the following excerpt, "New public management  has been completely  discredited,  thank God"  (The  Ottawa  Citizen,  2/27/04).  Savoie's  comment  and  the article that carried it were brought to the attention of the IPMN community by Alasdair Roberts. The comment stimulated a dialogue about NPM on the IPMN listserver that is represented in this symposium, in roughly the order in which comments were transmitted, with only minor editing. The  dialogue  tells  much  about  current  views  on  the  utility,  or  lack  thereof,  of  New  Public Management  and  how  the maturation of NPM  is  perceived  by  the  international  community  of scholars in the field of public management.
