Abstract

Public sector organisations have had to absorb continuous cuts for decades, and this is not necessarily conducive to greater efficiency, improved performance or innovation. What is being overshadowed is how greater investment can lead to longer-term efficiency or performance gains or how the public sector can better support and contribute to economic growth. After the evolution of public administration to public management, managers are increasingly just administering cuts with no long-term incentives to transform organisations or service delivery. Public sector organisations have been encouraged to mimic the private sector for decades, without the same rewards. Furthermore, given the performance of many private sector organisations in recent times, should it continue to be the template?
