摘要:

Abstract:A corporate management framework has been the basis for a transformation of Australian public administration in recent years. Program budgeting, corporate planning, performance contracts, program evaluation and new forms of efficiency scrutiny are among the techniques introduced. They stem from a dominant paradigm of technical and instrumental rationality, within which a framework of practical remedies and technologies of power carries the corporate management label. Four concepts underly this framework and its techniques: the product format, instrumentalism, integration and purposive action. The framework has fundamental problems. The product format is inappropriate for many public services and overvalues quantifiable, single‐purpose outputs while denigrating claims of worth and effectiveness made on non‐economic grounds; instrumentalism ignores the political dimensions of public organisations; integration denies the value of decentralised forms of service development and delivery and, paradoxically, contradicts current private management precepts; and purposive action displays an unwarranted optimism about the potency of technical rationality under central direction. The four principles must be reviewed as offering few prospects for genuine and lasting ref

摘要:

Abstract:In the early 1980s the Commonwealth Tertiary Education Commission functioned as a relatively independent, self‐directed policy arena within the commonwealth bureaucracy. Policy outputs tended to be consistent and coherent over time. During the last three or four years, however, a number of federal departments succeeded in gaining control over aspects of tertiary education policy. This development was due partly to a changed economic environment which encouraged the growth of cross‐sectoral programs, and partly to administrative reforms introduced by the Hawke government which fostered increased interdepartmental competition. The outcome was the fragmentation of the tertiary education policy process. The removal of CTEC and the creation of the Department of Employment, Education and Training is an attempt to reimpose a greater degree of coordination and integration upon tertiary education policy procedu

摘要:

Abstract:There is a widespread proliferation of bodies such as disciplinary appeals tribunals which review prerogative decision‐making activities of managements. Yet scant analysis of their operation has taken place. This paper presents data concerning the operation of the New South Wales Government and Related Employees Appeal Tribunal. The nature of disciplinary appeals, the tribunal's decision‐making behaviour and the subsequent decisions are examined in the light of available explanatory frameworks. It is concluded that the disciplinary appeal body functions as ade factoarm of public sector management rather than as a neutral, juridicial b
