Management in the Public and Private Sectors

Introduction: The Public and the Private Sectors

In essence, the public and the private sectors are simply two different sides of the same coin. Both of them are aimed towards progress. The difference, however, is how they work towards that desired progress. One crucial aspect of working towards the end goal is the set of managerial processes involved in their operations. Due to their varying natures, it is only reasonable that management in the public sector would vary from the management in the private sector. In order to better understand the differences in management between the two sectors, it ...

An Investigation in Private financial initiative (PFI) dilemma

Introduction

The public and the private sector are both very essential for a country in terms of economy. These are because they are the two main business industries in the world. The public sector is owned and controlled by the government while the private sector is owned and operated by private business people. The two sectors have a lot of differences and similarities with regards to how they operate and the services they render to the people. Some of the major differences that can be seen in the two sectors depend by the people who are operating or are in control such ...

In Turkey, private versus public wage differences are common. What is not known is the extent of these wage differentials. In developing nations where the major wage employment portion originates from the public sector, the wage differences are common. The public sector can dictate the setting of wages and employment activities in the labor market. It is important to undertake a different analysis of labor markets of the public sector. This paper analyses the private-public wage differentials that prevail in turkey. The Turkish public sector spending covers the wage bill as the biggest item. This represents a significant concern for ...

It is used as a tool that will enhance the existence of the private sector in the economy. The usage of the term has changed in the modern day and is used in the referring to different critics by politicians. The well-known use of the word denotes to reforms in the economy that may include the eliminating of price controls, lowering of barriers to trade, deregulating the capital markets and reducing of influence ...

<Name> <Subject> <Professor> Based on your reading of the Wilson article and "The Blast in Centralia No.5", how would you justify the need for and importance of a strong and effective public administrative system in society? It is essential for society to benefit from a robust system of public administration in order for lawful authorities to gain the ability to implement laws that regulate various concerns. James Wilson has consistently argued that bureaucracies, in general face failures due to the inefficiency of carrying out rules. A simple example Wilson cited concerns two scenarios – one that ...

Among independent countries in the Persian Gulf oil-exporting countries are pointed as a group that using its development resource factors has made significant economic progress. Among them a prominent place is occupied by the United Arab Emirates (the UAE) that is a country that having faced with many challenges managed to outrun other countries in the region by a number of social and economic indicators. The UAE government has implemented a new strategy known as emiratisation that is aimed at full integration of the population of the UAE into economic processes and the transfer of skills and experience from foreign experts working in the ...

Labor unions are the legally accepted representatives of the workers in most organizations in the United States. Currently, the activities of labor unions are centered on the collective bargaining over working conditions, wages and benefits for the members and also representing members in cases of disputes with the management for violations in provisions of contracts. Other larger unions engage in the electioneering and in lobbying activities and the federal and state levels. In the year 2010, the proportion of workers that belonged to unions in the United States was 11%. In the private sector, union membership has fallen to ...

Executive Summary

After comprehensive evaluation of the implication of public sector unionization and collective bargaining, we find that these public sector employees were undercompensated than being overcompensated. This calculation also takes into account modest overpayment as low skill and educational level, and modest underpayment at high skill and educational level. Next, it can be inferred that public sector bargaining units have worked well in reducing strikes and in achieving equitable outcomes. Though, care should be taken such that the arbitration process does not take long enough to cause hardship to parties involved. Regarding a response to financial crisis, there are several ...

Although many economists have addressed public-private wage differentials both in developed and developing economies, but the issue of inequality is more important primarily in developing countries where public sector usually comprise of a major part of the wage employment. Thus, the difference in public sector and private sector employment could influence wage settings. This, paper will be considering the public-private wage differential in Turkey. The data which we will use to explain the wage differential, will be an individual level data to explain the employment sector selection and the wage differentials in the public and private sectors. Turkey, where public ...

Abstract

Entrepreneurship is an important business principle that is fuelling growth in economies, whether they are big or small. Economic growth is clearly manifested when a country’s entrepreneurial sector is emancipated. Such is the case of Saudi Arabia, a country that is already rich in terms of mineral resources and developed socially and economically. Saudi Arabia is pushing for the transition of its economy from a resource-based one to a knowledge-based one. To do so, it is pump-priming its small and medium businesses through a combination of government led and private sector led initiatives, all envisioned to create an entrepreneurial sector that would help ...

Saudi Arabia is the largest Arab economy that produces thousands of young people intending to join the workforce. As a result, it has to create new jobs to beat the employment expectations of young employees who want to have their contribution towards the economic growth and prosperity. The country is currently facing challenges in terms of providing jobs as the need for jobs outweigh the availability (Mellahi, pp. 135). The monarchy of Saudi Arabia is quite powerful but great dissent and challenges of creating more jobs bring Saudi Arabia under great threat. Saudi Arabia has been putting many efforts at ...

Introduction

Public administration comprises establishments, which majorly engage in the management of activities that concern the government, that is, the implementation and judicial interpretation of laws and regulations, as well as the delivery of government programs to the public. Government programs are those programs that the government has the responsibility of offering to the public. These include legislative activities, public order and safety, health services amongst other general public services. Public administration is governed by public policies. Public policies can be defined as the sum of government activities, that act directly or directly or through agents, and that have an ...

Introduction

Critical infrastructure is the main support system of the nation’s national and economic security. It includes national backbone such as power plants, electric infrastructures, water resources, transport system, financial structures, chemical facilities, emergency services, and cyber networks so as to make the people safer and to provide them with services and facilities such as highways, stadiums, shopping malls, and federal buildings (Hatton, 2013). These infrastructures have been smoothly integrated by ICT to make the systems more resilient, reliable and effective (Hatton, 2013).

Part 1: Supply and Demand

Event 1: With the rise in the average income, the demand curve will shift to the right from DH1 to DH2 as demand increases for each price level. The purchasing power of the consumers increases, so that they can buy more at the same price level. The supply remains the same. The new equilibrium will be at the point A.

Event 2: A fall in population will lead to a left ward shift in the demand curve from DH1 to DH3 as demand decreases. The quantity demanded will fall for each price level as the number of consumers is reduced. ...

Memorandum on Successful Reforms in Missouri

The family represents the smallest most important unit in any society, and the progress and development of any society depends on the state of this unit of society. The success of any civilization is based on the standard of life of its people and especially how it manages its at-risk populations. These are the most vulnerable in society and who depend on some assistance to lead a decent life. In Missouri, the Department of Social Services (DSS) works together with the Department of Health and the Department of Mental Health to serve these vulnerable populations (Busey, 2001). However, a plethora of ...

Intentions (Thinking) Over Impacts (Results): A Critical Analysis of New Deal Liberalism through the Themes of Crisis Control, Community Construction and Creating Confidence Often when we pause to reflect on history, in remembering what occurred, we tend to focus primarily on the impact and results of initiatives which were implemented. At the same, however, we forget or are unaware of the original thinking or purpose behind those same initiatives, policies, programs, and movements, etc.

New Deal Liberalism - Roosevelt administration – represents just such a space in time.

New Deal is credited for facilitating the development of several programs. For example, social security; agriculture; industrialization; and, growth in union membership. Banking ...

Management

Conventionally the debate on eco-political condition in the Arabic Gulf emphasized on its geostrategic significance including certain factors or players having the capability to destroy its oil flow, the length of dependency on oil posed on past governments in deriving ‘rent’ and the manner in which this ‘rent’ was spent (the ratio of investment and consumption). However recent events have shifted to include the national demographic profile of the countries in the Arabian Gulf in which significant focus is on the idiosyncrasies related to the labour market. This is especially with respect to the “structural employment” and “emerging strains” ...

My inspirational beliefs as a Republican

I have no doubt in believing and following the ideologies of the Republican; this party provides me with inexhaustible reasons to champion its philosophies. Firstly, Republican is a political party, which recognizes the efforts made by individuals in the creation of wealth. It respects these efforts by attributing the wealth of the United States to the efforts made by its citizens. Everyone is entitled to amount of wealth equivalent to the effort that he, or she makes. This individual wealth ownership instigates the spirit of work among the US citizens. The working spirit leads to creativity and invocation that spurs ...

Efficient decision-making processes right at the core of government are extremely necessary for a leaner and well-operating public sector. However, many factors such as conflicting lines of authority, poor managerial skills, lack of evidence and analysis, poor central coordination and ongoing conflicts for resources destroy the government’s potential to define and execute policy- that has evident effect on the remaining public sector. Change management and Leadership skills are a prerequisite for enabling organizations to provide effective performance, particularly public sector organizations. It is mandatory for public organizations to deliver results according to their mandates and growing expectations of the ...

Management and service delivery can either be public or private. Public administration is usually defined as encompassing public leadership and management of public affairs emanating from executive action. Such organizations are overly reliant on government revenue for funding their roles. Private administration on the other hand refers to organizations that are not reliant on government funding but rather depend on the fees paid by consumers of goods and services. The distinctions and resemblances between public administration and private management have an important insight in decision making processes. The continued privatization of approaches by various governments the world over ...

Q1 .What are the main arguments put forwards by Jensen in the paper, i.e. what is it about?

In Jensen’s paper “Value Maximization, Stakeholder Theory, and the Corporate Objective Function,” he discusses the aforementioned concepts in detail, discussing how they are applicable in the workplace world (if at all). Mostly, Jensen deals with just how viable these theories, as presented, are for workplace use, and how easy they are to replicate in individual offices. His overall thesis is that, due to the fact that you can only maximize productivity in one dimension at a time, you must choose one objective function to emphasize as you modify behavior around your office. It is the role of the managers ...

Innovation is a vital element in organizational growth. In fact, most managers regard innovation as the differentiating factor between organizations when it comes to competitiveness. Innovation and technology go hand-in-hand. As a way of appreciating the role that innovative technology plays in the economy of the United States in general, the government has taken various initiatives in supporting companies that are investing in innovative technology activities (Leyden & Link, 2002). This is usually done through giving Research and Development tax breaks, subsidies, protection of intellectual property rights, and implementing effective economic policies and regulations.

Government subsidies also play a vital role in ...

The Degree of Master of Public Administration

The debate about the advantages and drawback of the public sector employment, as opposed to the private sector, has received a lot of attention in business and academic circles. It will continue occupying the minds of students and young professionals, making the decision with regards to their future careers. The discussions, surrounding the issue, include the levels of compensation, potential for career growth and personal development, benefits and job security and other constructs of employment. One could argue that the discussion of the meaning and consequences of this choice is covered with unwelcome mystery, which prevents many people, from seeing ...

Abstract

The financial performance of a business entity depends on a myriad of factors. These include prevailing market conditions, level of competition, and consumers` tastes and preferences. Therefore, a profitable firm does not necessarily adhere to ethical standards. As such, one cannot argue that profitability fully depends on legal, ethical or philanthropic responsibilities. Nevertheless, the extent to which ethics and profits are mutually exclusive may be limited depending on the type and quality of the product being produced by various firms. Further, the extent to which ethical practices may influence a firms` level of profitability depends on the perception of the consumers at large. ...

Just like managing the staff of any other organization in the private and public zone, leading the staff members of a correctional facility is a complicated task (Carlson, 2006). Just like the staff in the private sector, the prisons and penitentiaries staff has varying attitudes towards work. Managing a heterogeneous group is not easy since the perceptions of the members will be different and this will impact negatively on cohesion and peaceful cooperation. The staff members in the correctional facilities operate in a rigid police-like environment where the employee has little contribution to the decision making process. Bureaucratic procedures are inherent of the ...

Health care services can be provided by public or private sectors. Health care service system in most nations is made up of both private and public health providers. Health care services can also be provided with an aim of making a profit or just for helping the community. Private hospitals and independent medical practitioners who are self-employed are examples of profit making health care providers. The objectives of private health care are different from those of public health (Besley and Gouveia, 1994). Public health care sector is a government sponsored system that provides health care services as a basic human right to ...

1 If there is no discretionary increase in government spending then the business cycle will affect the size of the budget surplus and also the investment and trade balance. When the economy is in upswing then the government will collect more taxes as people will have more spending power. Similarly the investment balance would improve as firms would invest more in capital to cater to an increasing demand for goods and services. The trade balance would be in a deficit as improving conditions at home would mean that consumers at home have more purchasing power and hence imports would increase ...

The End of Government as We Know It: Making Public Policy Work was published in 2007. The author argues that the current government structure in Washington will disintegrate in a number of years not to come to a crashing end but to embrace the new technologies in this information and technology era. This will lead to a reduction of the number of bureaucrats in the Washington offices and there will be a great reduction in those in the federal offices. All this will be influenced by the policy makers if they adopt the emerging technology in the workings of the government. The book ...

In recent years, there has been a tremendously huge debate on whether public transportation is more sustainable than privately owned vehicles such as cars. There are those who believe that public transportation like buses, trains, and airplanes are more sustainable than cars because they operate at full capacity while cars only carry few passengers at a time. However, while taking into account sustainability and public transportation, some people argue that buses and trains do not run at full capacity. Each mode of major public transportation affects the environment in various ways, and plays a role in land use patterns encouraged by investment. ...

Chapter One: General Introduction

- Introduction Public sector projects are an essential aspect of development and service delivery. Every government’s role in development is to deliver services through various sectors. Infrastructure is one of the main service delivery and development channels (Bardhan & Mookherjee 2006, p. 101). Government delivers service through departments, ministries, and agencies. These form public sector clients. Public sector clients are responsible for infrastructural development. Public sector infrastructure procurement is marred with a number of problems, which limit the capacity of these clients. Proper infrastructural procurement is dependent on the ability or capacity of clients to resolve problems associated with ...

I agree with by Paul Krugman that inflation is till considerably low. Therefore, Fed should worry more about unemployment than inflation. The level of inflation is relatively low than 2% therefore, Fed should concentrate on reducing unemployment. The economy is currently recovering and the aggregate demand is also increasing so Fed should continue to apply expansionary economic policies to help the economy to fully recover. This should be the way to go despite Phillips curve argument that unemployment decreases then inflation increases because little increase in inflation may be less harmful if it creates more employment opportunities by encouraging ...

There is no doubt that Amherst functions as a private health care institution. Speculations advanced by this literature review points toward unfolding the extent it is a private institution. This researcher’s assumption is that the extent to which Amherst is classified a private health care institution depends on an assessment concerning risks and returns exploring concepts pertaining to operations, performance, and talent.

The London School of Economics researchers confirmed that there were distinct factors relating management practices to outcomes as it pertains to financial returns in any health care institution (Dorgan et.al, 2009).Therefore, the ability to integrate risk and return ...

For the last few years, the proportion of aging population has continued to form a large portion of the total American population. This proportion is expected to rise in the near future as more people attain the age of retirement. There are about 78 million Americans who were born from 1946-1964 (Powell, 2010). This group commonly known as baby boomers has began attaining the age of retirement early this year and they are expected to continue in this trend for the next 18 years. For a long time this generation is known for its passion to remain young and many people ...

[Student] [Professor] Unions have declined as a percentage of the workforce in the private sector. With this decline, have career and workplace dissatisfaction and alienation increased? If so, why is this so? If not, why not? Support your position. There is a growing trend of non-unionization of workforce in private sector nowadays. Although in many private sector organizations, unions are working but the level of union activities have now certainly decreased to much larger extent than before. These unions are now becoming less effective and inactive. The reason for this phenomenon is the increased awareness in the private ...

The soundness of the health care system in any country is based on the role and prevalence of the public and private sectors in delivering care. People pay for their health benefits and cost either through the public or government insurance schemes or manage it through the private sector. Health insurance providers differ in each country and in some countries the government plays a bigger role providing universal health care to its citizens through tax funded programs. There are also other countries where the government plays a limited role and health insurance is largely handled by the private sector. In the ...

- Introduction to the Issue The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (TRIA) was established for the primary purpose of ensuring “the continued financial capacity of insurers to provide coverage for risks from terrorism” . The Act was originally passed on January 23, 2002 after the destructive effects of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack on the Twin Towers. The gigantic losses sustained by the US economy necessitated urgent measures to mitigate terrorism risks and to spread the potential losses in future events of similar nature.

The concept of immigration is as old as mankind. People have been emigrating from one place to another for different reasons, and the trend will still continue in the future. As expected, migration affects various aspects of population – and this is true for both the immigrant’s country of origin, and the new country. In the last few decades, these changes have been more profound in the GCC countries, which have seen an unprecedented influx of foreign nationals. The GCC simply means the Gulf Cooperation Council and it brings together six wealthy nations bordering the Persian Gulf. These countries ...

Unemployment is a state of joblessness that takes different dimensions and forms. It begins from the time and individual starts looking for jobs relentlessly hopping into one office after another. It is a very dynamic concept that even incorporates the period between which a person dumps one job and when he or she secures another one. Saudi Arabia is one of the wealthiest nations in the Middle East with some of the world’s largest oil reserves. However, a greater percentage of her population is jobless. Some employees in Saudi Arabia receive low wages and are thus not satisfied with their jobs. This ...
