Public Administration: Theory and Practice

Public administration is the management of change in pursuit of publicly defined societal values along with serious theoretical issues based on theories and approaches developed in various stages. Bureaucracy is a system capable of effectively managing the massive investments, division of labour and large scale mechanized production of capitalism and makes management and decision making a profession. Began as a system of organising government activities, it has taken big businesses and large organisations within its fold. What public administration is? What role public administrators play in shaping and executing policies? What role personnel and women play in public administration? What are public sector organisation behaviour and theories? What features and functions the bureaucracy has? Which models, systems and clues the bureaucracy have? What is organisation intelligence in bureaucracy? What relations the policy studies have with public administration? How public organisation might best be designed and managed? All these questions and many more are sincerely resolved and presented in the present book "Public Administration: theory and practice" in lucid way and well supported through figures. This book is intended to serve as a basic textbook for students, teachers, administrators, bureaucrats and general readers.
