Summary:
This paper analyse what is happening to New Public Management (NPM) ideas when they are facing the civil service in Norway. The focus is upon how the reforms are received by the executives in their daily routines and own particular field of work. The empirical data are about how civil servants have experienced relevance and effects of NMP-reforms and what future reform priorities they have. The introduction of the reforms is analyzed from a trasformative perspective. The argument is that we are confronted with a Norwegian version of civil service reform where NPM seems to supplement established prosedures and working methods more than replacing them. Some elements are adopted more than others, i.e. management elements more than market elements. The administrative reforms undergo a screening process wherby they are fltered, modified and refined.
