Mar This article argues that current public management theroy is not fit for purpose-if it ever has been. It argues that it contains two fatal flaws-it focuses on intraorganizational processes at a time when the reality of public services delivery is interorganizational, and it draws upon management theory derived from the experience of the manufacturing sector and which ignores the reality of public services as "services." The article subsequently argues for a "public service dominant" approach. This not only more accurately reflects the reality of contemporary public management but also draws upon a body of substantive service-dominant theory that is more relevant to public management than the previous manufacturing focus. We argue that this approach makes an innovative contribution to public management theory in the era of the New Public Governance. The article concludes by exploring the implications of this approach in four domains of public management and by setting a research agenda for a public-service dominant theory for the future. - Reproduced. 9 Public administration Nasi, Greta Rander, Zoe American Review of Public Administration N 99332 99331 99331 0 0 0 0 IIPA IIPA 2018-07-19 Volume no: 43, Issue no: 2 AR99792 2018-07-19 2018-07-19 AR
