摘要：The subject of this paper is the Italian Public Administration and System of Accountability in the Managerial Perspective. Literature on business-economics and public management seems to place more and more emphasis on managerial approaches and to systems of measurement of the performances capable of supporting decision-making processes and stimulating the productivity of the public sector. It deals with new managerial orientations that extensively use the information on performances in the definition of policies, programs and objectives. In this manner, the managerial approaches that are more oriented towards conformance, and that have dominated public bureaucracy in the past, are progressively being relegated downwards.
