Journal Title: International Journal of Management Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
New Public Management (NPM) is a management philosophy used by the government since 1980s to modernize the public sectors. Although NPM based reforms originated in developed nations namely UK, New Zealand, Australia and USA, since 1990s it has been applied in developing countries too. In Bangladesh, although various efforts for reforming public administration have taken place since early 1970s after her independence, but reform efforts after 1990 have introduced some reforms ideas related to the NPM model for making public sector more effective and result oriented. Unexpectedly such initiatives to implement NPM oriented reform have not been effective to bring positive changes in Bangladesh public administration as per their objectives. This article mainly examines how the political and bureaucratic factors, faulty application process of NPM oriented reform and state tradition of continuous failure to implement reform influence the extent of NPM initiative and implementation in Bangladesh. By developing a theoretical model it has been shown that in achieving the outcomes of NPM model, how those factors play a determining role. Accordingly, this paper briefly reviews what constitutes NPM ideas and how does it apply in global context, followed by a discussion of the administrative reform and NPM in the context of Bangladesh.
