HERE'S WHAT TO EDIT OR THE CONTENT T OBE REVISE:
 
  1. State your insight on the following phrase: 'Public Office is a Public Trust' What Implication may be derive from this? And Classical organization theory deals with the "systematic processes necessary to make bureaucracy more efficient and effective." Two scholars (Weber and Taylor) are credited with the development of classical organization thought. What were the basic arguments articulated by each in their contributions to the development of classical organization theory?

 

The phrase "public office is a public trust" conveys the idea that individuals who hold public office have a duty to serve the public interest and to put their authority and resources to work for the advancement of society as a whole. It is generally agreed that Max Weber and Frederick Taylor were two of the most influential thinkers in the field of classical organization theory during its formative years.

 

The primary argument that Weber put up was that bureaucracy is the most rational and effective way for enormous institutions to be managed. In addition to this, he discussed some of the most essential aspects of a bureaucracy, including a distinct hierarchy, explicit rules and regulations, and a method for selecting officials based on the expertise they possess.

 

On the other hand, Taylor believed that the implementation of scientific management concepts would allow firms to increase their levels of productivity and efficiency. These strategies entail slicing up jobs into discrete, specialized components and then analyzing the results of time and motion studies to determine the most efficient way to carry out each operation.

Analyze the case in terms of:

  1. Identification of the problem

In this case, the problem is to make bureaucracy more efficient and effective.

 

  1. SWOT analysis

Strengths: Weber's bureaucratic model and Taylor's scientific management principles provide a strong foundation for making bureaucracy more efficient and effective.

Weaknesses: Bureaucracy can be slow and inflexible, and scientific management can lead to the alienation of workers.

Opportunities: The use of technology and data analytics can help to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of bureaucracy.

Threats: Resistance to change and a lack of political will can hinder efforts to improve bureaucracy.

 

  1. Alternative course of action (ACA)
  • Use technology and data analytics to improve the efficiency of bureaucracy.
  • Encourage public participation in bureaucratic decision-making to increase transparency and accountability.
  • Implement human-centered design approaches to improve the user experience of interacting with bureaucracy.
  • Encourage innovation and experimentation in bureaucratic processes and structures.

 

  1. Action plan (according to objectives, time context, and point of view)

 

Objectives: To make bureaucracy more efficient and effective by improving transparency and accountability and by improving the user experience of interacting with bureaucracy.
Time context: The action plan should be implemented over a period of several years to allow for gradual changes and to allow for experimentation and evaluation of different approaches.
Point of view: The action plan should be implemented from the perspectives of both public officials and the public, to ensure that it addresses the needs and concerns of both groups.
