TL;DR: The public management approach to public sector reform has had such an appeal that it must be examined more closely as mentioned in this paper, and it raises a number of key issues about the public sector to which it offers answers that are radically different from the public administration framework.
Abstract: The public management approach to public sector reform has had such an appeal that it must be examined more closely. It raises a number of key issues about the public sector to which it offers answers that are radically different from the public administration framework. The management state may have pros when compared with the administrative state, but there are cons involved when one takes several evaluation criteria into account.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that if we do not enrich e-government, many of its possibilities will remain unexploited, and if we stick to the information management approach, eGovernment will endanger the very foundations of the legitimacy of public administration.
Abstract: In public administration science and practice, the debate on e-government concentrates on service delivery, information and technology. This article argues that we need a broad public administration approach towards e-government that surpasses this technocratic emphasis. Public administration theory helps us to escape from the conceptual prison of the information management ideology that currently dominates e-government. Both the locus of e-government (the parts of public administration that are being touched by it) and its focus (its approach towards governance) can be used to broaden the concept. If we do not enrich e-government, many of its possibilities will remain unexploited. Also, if we stick to the information management approach, e-government will endanger the very foundations of the legitimacy of public administration.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss New Public Management and Governance as alternatives to the more conventional ideas of administration in the public sector, and assess these alternatives as means of providing effective and accountable management in government.
Abstract: The traditional model of the public sector has been under attack from a number of different directions. The alternatives to the traditional model are usually discussed under the single rubric of “managerialism ”, but there are actually several alternatives being addressed. Using a set of variables, this article discusses New Public Management and Governance as alternatives to the more conventional ideas of administration in the public sector. These alternatives, and the conventional model, are assessed as means of providing effective and accountable management in government.
