@mahi2501It is argued that Simon just presented classisical theorists view of finding one best way of doing the job in a different way, the core concept was same.

Simon was influenced by Follet's view on exercise of authority and conflict resolution.

@mahi2501Introduction good, thinking also good.

But points alignment need improvement.

*synthesis of the classical and behavioural approaches to the study of Public Administration

A better approach would be showing how Classical & Behavioural approach are reflected as synthesis in simon work.

Classical approach: science based, fact based
Behavioural approach: focus on behaviours, a function of values.

Simon's decision making approach though highlights importance of fact based decision, it does not ignore the values and considers value premises as one aspect of goal selection process.

Classical approach: Machine driven, principles driven, ignores the human in organisation.
Behavioural approach: often criticised for giving too much focus on man in organisation and their behaviour

Simon's model considers both..principles (fact based, SOP) and actor (decision maker and how he is influenced)

See...My comment above for Simon..It's better that u show both aspect together showing synthesis.

NPS/NPM wale me ...A very short introduction..( done already in previous comments . . Check) and then showing NPS is improvement over NPM...For that identify shortcomings and problems in NPM first

There used to be a famous question:

Though somewhat unwittingly, Herbert Simon and James March have provided, the muscle and flesh to the Weberian (bureaucratic) skeleton.Explain.
