Benchmarking in the public sector : a critical conceptual framework - Canberra, Austrália : Blackwell Publishing, August 2007
How can we critically address benchmarking? By conceptualizing benchmarking as a normalizing governing technology, a space is cleared for analysing some of the power relations brought into play in benchmarking activities. As a device of power, benchmarking depends upon the production of normalizing knowledge and the freedom or self-governing capacities of those who are benchmarked. The fruitfulness of this conception is illustrated through an example from the Danish hospital system
