Performance management and evaluation

초록

Since the 1980s, major countries have tried to overcome staggering economic diffi culties and to improve national management through various and innovative ways. Among them performance management based on the so-called new public management (NPM) was an effort to manage administrative activities by measuring the performance of government activities as well as to break down the input and process-based management (for more detail on NPM and performance management, refer to Ko, 2008). Under the circumstances, major countries began to launch performance management systems, and Korea was not an exception in adopting this new approach (Oh et al., 2006, p. 11). © 2018 selection and editorial matter, Keun Namkoong, Kyung-ho Cho and Sangmook Kim; individual chapters, the contributors.
