The advent of new public management, or managerialism, marks a shift from earlier reforms. It is clearer in theory and in program details than the earlier reforms aimed at tinkering to cut' costs. Instead of being technical specification within public management,as was"old" public management, new public management aims at the replacement of the traditional model. Instead of being Reforms to the public sector, new public management represents transformation of the public sector and its relationship with government and society. 1]
