'Tools' in public management
(2022)
Tools are methods or procedures, and thus operational patterns of action, applied in public administrations to solve standard problems. It is also possible to consider them as structured communication according to professional standards aiming at complexity reduction. Regularly, tools in management stem on a deductive-synoptic rationale offering a seemingly ‘objective’ decision basis. They have a strong formative influence on the organization, regularly also beyond the intended effects. The prominence of tools is sometimes confused with management as such, e.g. introducing tools is mistaken as equivalent to managing for a particular purpose. However, tools have to be closely and carefully managed regarding the objectives and purposes they should serve.
This chapter describes the most prominent public management reform trajectories in German public administration over the past decades since unification. In the 1990s, the New Steering Model emerged as a German variant of the NPM. Since the mid-2000s, local governments in Germany have been subjected to a mandatory reform of their budgeting and accounting system known as the New Municipal Financial Management reforms. Both reforms have led to a substantial change in terms of internal decentralisation, customer orientation, transparency in resource use and the financial situation of administrative bodies. But the emerging reform patterns and their impacts have not replaced the dominance of a strong legalist culture with hierarchical, centralised control. However, in the course of the reforms, a citizen-customer perspective, more participation of citizens and limited application of new management instruments have been accommodated within the persisting bureaucratic system.
Reformen und Anpassungen an aktuelle Herausforderungen sind zur Daueraufgabe auf der Agenda lokaler Gemeinwesen geworden. In der vorliegenden Studie wird der Frage nachgegangen, welche Reformthemen in den kommenden Jahren die grösste Bedeutung haben werden. Das Ziel ist es, abgegrenzte Themenbereiche und Reformfelder benennen zu können, in welchen sich die Reformbemühungen der Gemeinden konzentrieren werden. Als Ergebnis zeigt sich, dass Themen der Gestaltung der Aufgabenwahrnehmung, einerseits hinsichtlich der Durchführungsart in mehr kooperativen und koordinativen Arrangements, andererseits eingebettet in angepasste Verantwortlichkeitsregelungen, dringlich sein werden. Interkommunale Zusammenarbeit und verstärkte Kooperation und Koordination mit anderen Akteuren sowie die Klärung und Neuordnung von Kompetenz- und Ressourcenverantwortungen zeichnen sich als grosse Themenbereiche der Zukunft ab.
Most scholars in public administration and management research would agree that there is a connection between the culture of a nation or region and the way management in public administration is structured and working ("public management arrangements"). However, to be incorporated into public management research and theory, a more precise notion about the forms, ways, and mechanisms of the interlinkage between societal culture and public management is required. A look into public management literature reveals that wide use and reference is made to the importance and influence of culture on public management arrangements - mostly, though, using the term "culture" as a short-cut for "organizational culture". Public management discussion focuses on varying aspects and levels of culture, and varying conceptual integrations of cultural aspects are found. Public management treatises stress the influence of past events and contexts for the specific functioning and establishment of organizations, rules, and perceptions which in turn have great influence on the reception and functioning of public management mechanisms. Elsewise, organizational culture - or more precisely change thereof - is claimed to be the result of public management efforts. In sum, the interlinkage between culture and public management is there, but is not systematically and explicitly incorporated by referring to adequate theory. Although cultural theory has gained considerable attention, there are still other concepts for the analysis of cultural facts that may be of interest to the subject, too.
Coronitalization
(2023)
Nach mehreren Jahren weltweiter Pandemie ist deutlich geworden, dass Corona Verwaltungshandeln in erheblichem Maße beeinflusst und bestimmt hat. Dieser Beitrag fasst die Forschung und empirischen Erkenntnisse zur Verwaltungsdigitalisierung während der Corona-Pandemie in Deutschland thematisch zusammen. Dabei wird untersucht, inwiefern die Kontaktbeschränkungen und Infektionsschutzmaßnahmen die Digitalisierungsvorhaben in der öffentlichen Verwaltung beeinflusst und vorangebracht haben. Insgesamt ist von einem Schub für die Digitalisierung durch die Corona-Pandemie auszugehen. Eine solche Coronitalization äußerte sich vor allem in verstärkten Investitionen in IKT und E-Services und der vermehrten Abkehr von analogen Prozessen sowie dem Einsatz flexibler Arbeitsmodelle, wie dem Homeoffice, unter Zuhilfenahme digitaler Infrastruktur.
