Systems Thinking in the Public Sector John Seddon

2) Managerialism

Wikipedia definition. Managerialism is the belief that organisations have more similarities than differences, and thus the performance of all organisations can be optimised by the application of generic management skills and theory. To a practitioner of managerialism, there is little difference in the skills required to run a college, an advertising agency or an oil rig. Experience and skills pertinent to an organisation's core business are considered secondary. See also 'New Public Management'.
