In the functional differentiation, the department can be easily stretched to fit other responsibilities absent from the current setting. In words by Richardson (1991) the relationship between the agency and functional differentiation can be altered to suit any other form of responsibility and duty. As a leader of an agency, one could easily form a functional unit that could easily be of significant in the setting of the agency. In an example provided by Richardson (1991) there were increased bank robbery cases in Los Angeles ...

Interagency Collaboration

Interagency Collaboration
As the adage goes ‘Unity is Strength,’ so is the situation on the ground as far as crime detection and prevention are concerned. The notion of collaboration and cooperation by all the stakeholders in maintaining sanity, law and order in the affected areas has been very effective and efficient.

These concepts, therefore, involve a scenario whereby several agencies come and work together towards accomplishing the ...

Employability and Developing the Self

In the current times, college and university graduates experience a shortcut of employment opportunities, which, according to labor market analysts is generated by both the economic condition but also by the lack of preparedness of the graduates for the available positions (Rao, 2010; Yorke, 2004). The preparedness for getting an employment, securing it and moving ahead to new employments based on deployed skills implies possessing a set of skills, attributes or personal competences, which define the employability (Perozzi, 2009; Yorke, 2004).
Rao (2010) suggests that the employability reflects the graduates’ soft skills, rather than their hard skills, observing that ...

CIA’s Perception of Knowledge Management

At the CIA, Knowledge Management (KM) is perceived as the technology or methodology that would allow analysts to access updated and accurate information quickly and easily (Varon, 2001).

The organization seems to have the notion that having the technology alone is sufficient to ...

The American democratic system of governance has been a largely successful representation of the people, for the people, and by the people. However, as with any system consistently influenced by the ongoing desires of its citizens, in the past few decades American politics has been inundated with citizen involvement.

Although nearly half of the United States have a similar system in place, California in particular has felt the sting of its citizens’ ongoing involvement and – some might argue – interference, making the state ...
