It is argued that developments in institutional, departmental and individual performance assessment in the United Kingdom cannot be considered in isolation from pressures to change from bee, oligarchic and consensus models and administrative styles of management towards a shared commitment to a dominant and coherent entrepreneurial and market economy model culture with executive styles of management, which implies institutional and managerial performance being assessed in terms of economy, efficiency and effectiveness with increased emphasis on effectiveness.
