Abstract

This chapter develops an integrative framework for analyzing the ways in which specific performance management systems are decided and implemented. We integrate the various streams of new institutionalism and the explanations of public sector reforms. The framework helps explain processes of change and suggests strategies for overcoming barriers in the stages of policy making and implementation. The framework consists of a four-step analysis that identifies the negative policy feedback, determines the strength of the lock-in effect, explains the evolution of transformative entrepreneurs and their ideational motivations, and analyzes the strategies of change using the typologies in the literature as well as the micro-level decision-making models of rational choice institutionalism.
