Introduction to Public Administration

Public administration primarily studies the implementation of government policies. Some of the fundamental branches of public administration are organization theory, ethics, policy analysis, public budgeting and human resource management. Organization theory studies the structure of governmental entities. Ethics in public administration serves as a normative approach to decision making. Policy analysis functions as an empirical approach to decision making. The allocation of scarce resources among unlimited demands is conducted within public budgeting. There are numerous decision making models which are studied within this field such as Niskanen's budget-maximizing and Dunleavy's bureau-shaping model. This book is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex theories and principles in the field of public administration. It aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of this field. This textbook will serve as a valuable source of reference for those interested in this field.
