Hi, I want some help with the following questions:
1) Define public administration. How would you describe it to someone that is new to the industry and not familiar with it?
2) Shafritz, Russell, and Borick (2012) briefly refereed to rational decision making and ad hoc incremental decision making. Assume for a moment that you are meeting with the gatekeeper of public administration. Before entering the realm of public administration, you must select one decision-making theory to use for your entire career. Which one would you select to support your main objective as a public administrator? Which one would allow you to make the most change or be the most influential? Explain your decision.
