Abstract

Predominantly public policy is a set of guidelines initiated by the government of a country to work in favour of mass people or the public. We showcase and represent public policy materials against the backdrop of being involved in the process of accountability, transparency, and efficient and effective administration and program delivery. In addition, the selected government department used private-sector management control technologies to deal with the public-sector reform initiatives. These elements are considered part of the modern approach to public administration also. The study may be useful to policymakers formulating new public sector policies. Moreover, the findings reported in this study would be useful to public sector managers in their daily decision-making process.

Abstract

This paper presents a conceptual discussion of New Public Management (NPM) driven reform initiatives in public administration. NPM is a management philosophy used since the 1980s by many governments, particularly developed countries, namely the US, UK, Australia and New Zealand, to modernize the way the public sector works. The developing countries have also embarked on the path of transformation since the 1990s. Bangladesh has also witnessed various public administration reform initiatives since independence, but is gaining momentum after 1990s with significant use of NPM modalities to make the public sector more responsive and results-oriented. This paper brings the success stories from the global market, and critiques the case of Bangladesh in its administrative reform initiatives through the lens of the NPM. The analysis is based on various secondary sources such as policy papers, research articles, archive material, etc. Based on the discussions, the paper concludes with some recommendations.
