摘要
Targets, rankings and intelligence are common forms of public service management by numbers. So what's global and what's distinctively English about this phenomenon ? What's new and what's old about the use of targets, rankings and intelligence ? And what do we know we don't know about each of these forms of public service management by numbers ? The special features of composite ranking systems seem to be a key part of the answer to all these questions
