MPA 718: Revisiting Public Bureaucracy
Course Description
Organizations, whether they be public bureaucracies or private firms, are the fundamental building blocks for public administration and, indeed, of much of contemporary industry and post-industrial society. To understand how public administration as a discipline has evolved is to understand how the study of public organizations has evolved. This is particularly the case at a time when there are major efforts to “reinvent” or “re-engineer” government.
Prerequisites: Master of Public Administration 711 or consent of instructor
