Abstract

Japan was often considered a late adopter of new public management (NPM) in the 1990s. The situation has now changed significantly in terms of instrument for resources: privatization and agencification in organizational management, mandated performance evaluations for all programmes, accrual-based financial reporting, and personnel assessment are now introduced in the public sector. However, in the process of reforming, the essence of open and competitive nature in market mechanism has been removed if in conflict with traditional centralized and closed public administration. The new government seems to search for co-production in public services through digitalization maintaining the traditional culture of the Japanese people and administration.
