Abstract

For the past decade and a half New Zealand has been the test-bed of public policies characterized by sustained adherence to theory informed market-based public sector reform. As the title indicates, this article concentrates on the question of how well the policy of market reliance has served New Zealand specifically in the area of Information Technology (I.T.). Arguably, I.T. warrants special attention as a potent factor in all aspects of economic and social life, and a critical component of effective public sector governance and control.
