After several attempts in recent years, choosing an organizational model similar to that management, overcoming the traditional bureaucratic organization. The new management model emphasizes also the internal and external communication using tools previously used only by private companies.

In the future, however, they could become important documents of effective and efficient office. This paper, with reference to the best doctrine, presents a concise but comprehensive development of the situation: the Italian experience is of interest to appropriate international comparisons.
