Abstract
This paper begins with a brief description of the recent managerialist reforms introduced into the Australian Public Service (APS). It is in this setting that the commercialisation thrust within the APS has taken place since the mid-to-late 1980s. The organisational development and management education implications of commercialisation are then explored. A human resource development agenda and a management educator's cognitive map for facilitating change processes associated with the commercialisation thrust are also discussed. External tendering for public management education emerges as a novel development in Australia's search for improved public management through quantifiable improvement in management competencies.Keywords
