The Optimum Strategy Matrix and Indonesian Administrative Reforms
Abstract
In defining administrative reform, Hahn-Been Lee (1970:177–189) makes the distinction between innovation and reform. Reform is characterised by a value orientation that is different than merely recognising the possibility that a new process or concept can be applied to a particular situation (innovation): ‘In the administrative context the advocacy role is more important than the originating role’. He defines administrative reform as: ‘an effort to apply new ideas and combinations of ideas to an administrative system with a conscious view to improving the system for positive goals of national development’. We define administrative reform similarly in this study as: conscious efforts at planned administrative improvements to facilitate the formulation and implementation of development plans.
