Document Summary

Origins of asd: linked to the emergence of new public management and the belief that. Government should concentrate more on developing policy and allow its implementation to be taken over by organization outside government . Idea that government should be focused more on directing the distribution of services rather than administering that distribution. Citizen-centered government: services should be delivered in citizen centered methods that focus first and foremost on the desires and expectations those citizens. Motivating employees: hard to move around and penalize/reward government employees based on their performance, far easier to do so in the private sector and ngos. Involvement of users in service delivery: leads to a less hierarchal structure in the decision making process by allowing those users of the service to have more direct input. Improves the delivery of government services ie. service ontario kiosks. Example: confederation bridge: cogo (company-owned-government-operated), private company builds service then hands it over to government.
