- Perverse Audit Culture and Accountability of the Modern Public University (2014, unknown): “…quantifications have been encouraged by the embrace of NPM − a broad and complex discourse characterized by assumptions regarding the (alleged) benefits for public sector organizations of adopting a stronger market orientation and engaging in ‘big business mimicry’ (Lapsley, 2009, p.2).”
- The second wave of digital-era governance: a quasi-paradigm for government on the Web (2013, background): “Some academic observers even seem to characterize all IT investments as NPM-based (instead of appreciating how far NPM inherently inhibits and clashes with digital change in practice), and to believe that somehow all government sector IT changes must necessarily end in crises and disappointment [28]”
- Management-by-results and performance measurement in universities – implications for work motivation (2014, background): “The basic idea behindNPM is to strengthen public-sector operations by applyingmanagement doctrines that have proved to be effective in the private sector (Chandler, Barry, and Clark 2002; Lapsley 2009; see also Peters 1992; Hood 1995).”
