As a common mode of production, from 1910s to 1960s, Fordism has left its dominant position to Post-Fordism or Flexible Production and Accumulation Regime from the 1970s. Transition, from Fordist production and accumulation period to flexible production and accumulation period in the business world, means a major paradigm shift. Significant changes have been experienced in the field of public administration while flexible small businesses has become the most important driving force of the economy in the new period. New Public Management, Public Administration and Public Management Reforms have been started as change and renewal movements of public administration from the 1970s. As we have seen the change in public administration gained momentum with Flexible Production and Accumulation Regime over the same period, but the diversity was not seen as an impact of Flexible Production and Accumulation Regime. Whereas in the field of public administration, privatization-autonomy-localization movements, flexible working and management procedures and the provision of public services to benefit from external sources (subcontracting) cases, developed directly as a result of Flexible Production and Accumulation Regime.
