New Public Management

New Public Management is a way of managing government agencies, departments, and services. It's a way of making government more like a business, so that the government can run more efficiently, quickly, and cost-effectively. This approach focuses on using business principles like budgeting and performance metrics to measure the success of different programs. For example, instead of just looking at whether a program is operating, New Public Management looks at how much money each program is saving, and how successful it is in achieving its goals. This way, the government can be sure that taxpayers' money is being used wisely and efficiently.
