Principles of Public Administration Study Guide

The purpose of this study guide was to go beyond the conventional presentation of an outline of public administration within various theoretical foundations. The study guide does provide this. However, modern public administration requires the practical knowledge of contemporary management techniques, management reforms, and management issues and problems confronting administrators be they in the public or private sector.

Material for the study guide was drawn from a variety of numerous sources and involved the assistance of several persons including a few undergraduate students at UHWO and graduate students at Chaminade University in Public Administration classes.
