Universities Caught between Public Administration and Economy. New Public Management as Reform Paradigm
Summary
In the context of the vast amount of reform projects for universities New Public Management forms a basic theory, incorporating traditional terms with ideological contents. Frequently these key features are used in a paradigmatic way, nevertheless leading to a deep routing shift of governmental power. Besides Global budgets, Contracting Out, Personal Management, and Performance Contracting, Market and Market Type Mechanisms are of mandatory importance, although only unprecise features are presented. A realistic evaluation leads to universities, replacing democratic self-regulation by structures similar to private companies and increasing intermendling with economy.
