Inhaltsangabe

This book examines administrative behavior by studying the process of decision-making within organizations. It explores the ideas of various scholars and theorists who have studied the behavior of public administrators within organizations over many decades. The author examines the history of how the field of public administration came to be organized around concrete categories of institutions, which resulted in an overspecialization of knowledge and the fragmentation of disciplines. This resulted in a field that is often divorced from real-world experience and focused on internal processes, rather than external, political processes. By tracing the evolution of administrative theory and its prominent ideas, the author provides a framework to understand the tensions between politics and administration. The author does so by examining the relationship between value judgments and empirical observation, and the ways in which those two processes come together in the form of administrative decision-making. The author concludes that a useful way to distinguish administrative behavior is to examine its internal criteria for correctness, and that administrative institutions often avoid external control because of the technical, quasi-business or commercial nature of their work.

Excerpt from Concepts and Issues in Administrative Behavior
The development Of the curriculum of one such executive pro gram - that of the University of Chicago - is instructive because it tended to center on several of the above points of emphasis in its movement toward a cohesive structure. Thus, in the first years of the program such diverse emphases as instruction in the techniques of management and analysis of the great ideas in a curriculum of liberal education succeeded each other as frames of reference for the various discussion groups. Finally, a revised curriculum came to center on decision-making as an integrating element in the study of administrative behavior.
