Abstract

This paper is the first part of the Disruptive Public Management (DPM) series. The new
public management (NPM) was introduced in the early 1990s as the conventional public

management could not respond to the public needs. Since then, many countries including
Thailand have experienced failures born by disadvantages of the NPM. Under the disruptive

world environment, public management of certain countries have started to become
disruptive intended to cope with the changing public demand. This paper is an attempt to

quickly review the history of public management, documentary researches and case studies
of selective countries including Thailand and conclude with recommendations on how
Thailand should pursue with the DPM. Only the disruptive public management can respond

to the need of the public in this disruptive world environment.

Keywords: Public management, new public management, disruptive public management.

Introduction

This paper is the first part of the Disruptive Public Management (DPM) series. From Old

Public Management to New Public Management (NPM), the world has gone beyond
predictable changes into disruption. The speed of change has revolved exponentially beyond

any conventional public management theories. By the time the policy makers can evaluate
their executed public policies, the original public policy agenda has gone invalid and outdated
driving the outcome to be dissatisfied and unacceptable not only by the policy makers but

largely to the general public.
