Effective management of public organizations with new technologies

In a period where economic convergence presupposes in the public administration and the changes in the European setting are dramatic, the adoption of modern standards of administration and the response of its personnel to these standards are rendered necessary. Within this framework, the Greek administration attempts to incorporate the principles of New Public Management and to implement policies of organisation, planning, goal setting, measurement of performance and evaluation of its action. This paper deals with the effort of measurement of performance and establishment of a system based on “Management by Objectives” in the Greek administration. The research and development of the subject were based mainly on the analysis of that the Greek public administration has begun to modernize with the help of new technologies (IT) and especially during the period of 2000-2010. However, the effectiveness cannot exist without organization, planning, goal setting, measurement of performance and evaluation of action.
