Osborne and Gaebler summarised the managerial programme as: government should steer, not row. Rhodes described the result of disaggregation as self-organising interorganisational networks. The response to fragmentation is variously called joined-up government and digital-era governance. Hood observed that the economic and managerial strands of the reform conflict with each other.
The last blank names the internal contradiction. New institutional economics wants precise specification and tight contracts; managerialism wants managers freed to exercise judgement. A reform programme demanding both at once produces the familiar experience of being simultaneously empowered and audited.
