Material type: 
ArticlePublisher: 2001International Public Management Journal 4, 1, p. 1-25Abstract: The article describes the characateristics of New Public Mangement (NPM) and gives a cursory overview of the development of the behavioral-administrative sciences and their relation to NPM. A decriptive model of the behavioral-administrative sciences is devoloped that pits three internally consistent scientific worldviews that are incommensurable to each other. From this, the teoretical origins of NPM can be traced to a variety of theorical perspectives. Although the special mix of characteristics of NMP is new, it does not represent a paradigm change. Indeed, it is improbable that there will ever be one paradigm, a paradigm change is not really possible
