Abstract
The Information Age, while offering public managers great opportunities in networked organizations and relationships using New Public Management (NPM) techniques, also presents great challenges if traditional public sector ethical approaches and value orientations have been replaced with postmodernist logic. Using the backdrop of NPM and postmodernism, this article examines the ability of one tool - program evaluation - to continue to offer useful information for public managers and the elected leaders they serve.
