@Amarbabu Coordination angle was superb,nice and clear presentation(m struggling) and u r 2 humble 2 accpt googling but u shuld write lik public admin answer no i.e. wher s our Max Weber bro and criticism of goal displacement by R.K. Merton/Philip Selznick?Link more with how bureaupathology denigrates "competence" lik under garb of hierarchy/Peter principle even good wrks lik Armstrong pame amidst constraints gets less recognition/promotion,now give latest eg in inefficiency though e governance, innumerable no of forms 1 has 2 fill multiple times i.e Citizen centricity s seen lacking (can quote ARC),SBA abhiyaan success eclipsed by unspent funds of Construction Workers Act Cess and thus migrants issue.Can bring PCA thinkers 2 point 2 rent seeking behaviour but contrast it stating tht hids good wrks of individual bureaucrats or org lik UPSC,EC,during disaster.After all rules serve objectivity/tackle salacracy(ths i though8 later).Recognised by NWS.Suggestions give less but practical not repetitive lik sensitivity training,pris,participation/social audit etc Nyway scope 4 improvemment even in my suggestion(took time) we all r learning atb!on a lighter note why s ur dp so frightening??@doodlebean (why bean in doodle??)@IWRA u guys left??


Yes, I missed major points like thinkers Philip Selznick, Robert Merton, Alvin Gouldner, Parkinson law etc. I am still finding way to bring more examples and data figures flowchart etc. Thank you for pointing mistakes and showing the way.

What the other way around to frame Chester Bernard wala question, he himself gave generalistic and Lukmaan marked it moderate category. I couldn't find linkage. How can we approach that question. 1(d)
