Abstract: Abstract The introduction of managerialism in the public sector is associated with the New Public Management (NPM) movement of the 1980s. In the private sector, however, the genesis of managerialism is an event that marked the beginning of the twentieth century (Fleischman and Tyson, 2006), though its roots date back to the Industrial Revolution. As a background for understanding the reasoning behind the introduction of managerialism in the public sector in general and in healthcare in particular, this chapter provides a historical overview of the phenomenon of managerialism, its impact on healthcare management and the development of concepts of healthcare managerialism over time.
