Future Trends in Public Administration Public administration is, by nature, a constantly changing field. As new local, state, and national leaders are elected and new administrations take office, policies and patterns inevitably change. Moreover, public administration is subject to the same economic, cultural, and technological shifts that affect the private sector, the nation, and the world. For example, the global recession has forced many private corporations to cut costs, streamline operations, and increase efficiency in order to remain profitable. Government organizations have had to enact similar changes in response to shrinking budgets and pressure to perform the same tasks with fewer resources. Throughout this course, you have explored many trends that have influenced the development of public administration in recent years, including the reinventing government movement, privatization, entrepreneurialism, and e-government. In this Discussion, you take a closer look at how two trends—technology and collaboration—have influenced public administration in recent years, and consider how you think one of them may influence the field in the future. Select one of the two trends you have examined this week: technology or collaboration. Reflect on how this trend has influenced public administration in recent years, and how it may continue to influence public administration in the future. Consider specific examples that support your ideas. With these thoughts in mind: Submit 150 – 500 word response: Due by Thursday 7/09/15 a brief description of the trend you selected. Then explain how this trend may influence public administration in the future. Provide at least two specific examples to support your thoughts. Support your work with specific citations from the Learning Resources. You are allowed to draw from additional sources to support your explanation, but you must cite using APA standards. All quoted material must be identified, cited, and referenced per APA standards. .

One of the best ways to learn a concept is to teach a concept, and in this assignment it will be necessary for the learner to understand and explain the concepts from Modules 1 and 2 in a 7–10-slide PowerPoint presentation. The Internet will be a great resource for completing this assignment because the learner can use keyword phrases to pull the specifics needed to cover the topics and complete the assignment. You have been asked to create a PowerPoint presentation to train a group of new employees for Future Trends Financial Firm on key concepts of emerging markets. Include the following in your presentation: Identify and explain key concepts of emerging technologies, highlighting their use and availability for emerging and developed markets. Define and describe common industry concepts including: institutional voids, business groups, technological capabilities, changing income distribution, and bottom of the pyramid. Please be sure that the correlation between concepts and various markets is appropriate. Develop a 7–10-slide presentation in PowerPoint format, utilizing at least two scholarly sources. Apply APA standards to the citation of sources. Make sure you write in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources; display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Information from Module 1: In Module 1 , you will begin your journey into understanding the concept of EMs. This module’s discussion question and assignment are both designed to help in building the foundation knowledge of understanding EMs. What is an EM? According to Investopedia (n.d.), an EM is, “A nation's economy that is progressing toward becoming advanced, as shown by some liquidity in local debt and equity markets and the existence of some form of market exchange and regulatory body” (para. 1). EMs surfaced in the 1970s as less developed economies . Countries that are considered EMs possess certain distinguishing traits. Some of the common traits are: Demanding culture High rates of immigration Fragmented market Growing youthful population Investors are shifting their investments to EMs because of their potential long-term growth rate (Johnston, 2011). One of the main reasons EMs are rapidly growing is due to the countries' visible economic advancements. According to EPFR Global, a fund tracking company, investors invested more than $50 billion into EMs in 2012 (Bloomberg Businessweek, 2013). Investopedia. (n.d.). Emerging market economy .

Application: Policy Change The need for policy changes can arise for a variety of reasons. Some of those reasons might include social injustice, inequality, increased health concerns, and research discoveries in a multitude of environmental, social, health, and technological areas. Changing policies is an often-tough political battle because so many people can be affected by policy change. For this Application Assignment, review the virtual community and think about your role as the head of a public agency in it. Think about which public policy area needs to be addressed or which public policy you feel is most important to change, and then propose a policy change. Keep in mind that any policy change you create will affect many people. How do you plan to address those who may not be supportive of the policy? To prepare for this assignment: Review the article, "Responsive, Responsible and Respected Government: Towards a New Public Administration Theory." Consider responsible ways to promote public policy changes. Review the article, "The Role of Citizen Participation and Action Research Principles in Main Street Revitalization: An Analysis of a Local Planning Project." Pay particular attention to incorporating and utilizing citizens in creating public policy changes. Review the latest content in the virtual community from the perspective of your role. Consider the public policies in the virtual community and which ones you might propose changing. Think about a policy change you might propose. Consider the people affected by the policy change and how you might address those people in your role as the head of a public agency .

Public Policy and Administration Elected and appointed officials at all levels of government are faced with the dilemma of raising demands for services and diminishing financial resources needed to meet those demands. The traditional method of using a public agency to implement policy and deliver services is no longer possible or even desirable in many cases. Governments in the United States and throughout the world have formed partnerships with nonprofit or nongovernmental organizations as a means to implement policies and deliver services. In many cases, the new partnerships have placed administrators from two very different organizational cultures in direct contact with one another on a daily basis. Public and nonprofit administrators must learn to accommodate the organizational culture of their counterparts if the new partnerships are to succeed. Scholars studying in the fields of public and nonprofit administration can provide a great service to their counterparts in practice by addressing the research problem of how to integrate the organizational cultures of their two sectors. The assignment: Craft a 2 page paper in which you do the following: Provide an introduction. Provide a purpose statement. Provide viable research questions and hypotheses. Generate a written research plan that addresses the above questions. .

"Effective Integration of Private Services with Public Service" Please respond to the following: Note : Online students, please respond to two (2) of the following three (3) bulleted items. · From the weekly readings and first e-Activity, analyze three (3) challenges public leaders face when the business of private leaders takes precedence over the business of the government. Recommend two (2) sound strategies that public leaders could implement in order to ensure that the privatization of public services does not negatively influence citizens. · From the weekly readings and second e-Activity, create two (2) scenarios that focus on political debates or controversies that a public leader and business leader may face during or after negotiations aimed at the privatization of public services. Suggest two (2) traits and two (2) behaviors of a public leader that would be most effective in diffusing the debate or controversy. · Imagine that a small-town school system has appointed a new, but experienced, superintendent of schools. The school system is experiencing serious problems: worsening grades, budget cuts, increased vandalism, and low morale among the teachers. Suggest two (2) leadership theories and two (2) leadership traits that would be most effective for the superintendent to adopt when addressing such problems. Provide a rationale for your response. Note: Information on additional leadership theories can be found in readings from the previous weeks · eActivity: Read “ Public Versus Private Managers: How Public and Private Managers Differ in Leadership Behavior ” located in Week 3 of the course shell. Next, watch the video titled “Full Show 9/10/13: A Cautionary Tale on Privatizing Tax Collection” (58 min 01 s), starting at the 53 minute mark. Be prepared to discuss.

But Jan Mares, who has been in both environments, says it is not the same. Mares, who worked in the private sector in the chemical and manufacturing industries, and was the fossil energy chief in the Reagan administration’s Department of Energy, offers 25 reasons why government management and business management are not the same. The size, dollar value, and complexity of many government programs exceed that in the private sector. The government has fewer measures of progress or success than the private sector, although that is changing as a result of the Government Performance Reform Ac.

Give an example of a parent conference to explain to the parents the need for a referral for additional diagnostic testing. SAMPLE Parent-Teacher conference scenario: Ms. Mattiuz (teacher): Hello Mr. and Mrs. Jones. Thank you for attending tonight’s conference. It is such a pleasure working with Jodi (student) each day. First I would let parents know Jodi’s strengths. Next, I would “encourage parents to share their observations of their child’s learning at home” (Otto, 2014, p. 354). Ms. Mattiuz : As I have gotten to know Jodi these past few months, I have some concerns I would like to share with you. Mr. & Mrs. Jones (parents of Jodi): What are they? Ms. Mattiuz : I am concerned with Jodi’s lack of attention in the classroom and ability to complete her work, which is causing her to fall behind. At this point I would show work samples and list the modifications I have made to help Jodi complete her work (Otto, 2014). In addition, the parents would be advised what the norm is for their child’s age/developmental level. I would continue by letting the parents know I have consulted with the school counselor, school psychologist, and the teacher assistance team. Ms. Mattiuz : Have you noticed any similar behaviors at home? Mr. & Mrs. Jones : Yes, we have. What can we do to help her? Ms. Mattiuz : We would like to “find out more information” in an effort to offer Jodi the “best possible learning environment” by referring her for further assessment (Otto, 2014, p. 354) .

Gender and sexuality are intertwined in many cultures. (Gardiner & Kosmitzki, 2011) Socialization agents teach the appropriate behaviors for gender and the acceptable sexual attitudes and behaviors within a culture. Cultural differences exist around the world and across countries. For example, cultural differences may exist through the number of partners allowed in a marriage, expectations for males and females, and knowledge and application of safe sex practices. Differences may also arise in what is permitted and acceptable, such as premarital sex, same-sex relationships, and extramarital relationships. The consequences for an individual deviating from these cultural expectations also vary from culture to culture. For this Assignment, choose one sexual attitude (e.g., abstinence, monogamy, etc.) and one sexual behavior (e.g., chastity, infidelity, etc.). The Assignment (4–5 pages) Use Arabs as the culture of interest and Japanese as another culture of interest. Compare the similarities and differences of sexual attitudes and behaviors in each culture. Describe the cultural factors that influence sexual attitudes and behaviors. Explain how sexual attitudes and behaviors are perceived and displayed within each culture. Be specific and provide examples. Support your responses using current literature. Stay on Topic.

Geography Project – Project Plan Instructions Following your Module/Week 4 and Module/Week 5 submissions and instructor feedback, you will identify a location as an area for a potential service project and prepare a mission statement as well as develop a strategy to accomplish this mission using the 5 main themes of geography as guides. The mission statement will be a concise sentence identifying the location and the desired result of services to be performed. For example: “The goal of this project is to help the people of Tripoli, Libya by delivering fresh water for drinking and irrigation.” The subsequent plan to achieve this mission statement will be based on the 5 main themes/topics of geography and will be at least 3–4 pages (not including a title page and/or reference pages towards the minimum page length). Introduction (Why this is a topic worth exploring/solving) This service project may be characterized by, but not limited to, business, Christian service, or a military action for the purpose of helping a particular group of people. The service topic you choose may already exist, but the description of the problems and their characterizations in terms of the geographic themes and topics must be your own. Geographic Theme of Movement as an Example For example, a strategic plan to achieve the aforementioned mission statement would be: “The people in Tripoli face both a shortage of fresh water and food.” How would you get these resources to them? By exploring the theme of movement, you see how aspects of transportation may be the key to satisfying the delivery of water. You might want to increase the roads to this area, thereby enabling you to get irrigation equipment and water to this town. Perhaps the topic of agriculture from the text would lead you to explore the idea of creating irrigation for the crops of the area. Think within the theme of movement. You may observe that by marking road signs in Arabic, one uses language and relative place to mark the roads in a manner consistent with the needs and cultural nuances of this particular area. You will also want to develop the idea of where the trucks will come from to deliver the water. Will the trucks need to come from Europe, thereby necessitating sealift (theme of movement), or can they be created in an urban area nearby (topic of industry and urban geography)? Conclusion/Summary Paragraph The logical application of a location’s needs into a concise mission statement and a well-researched and imaginatively explained plan will both demonstrate spatial awareness and the application of Christian principles. Success in this project could constitute one small step in the Great Commission that Christians have been charged with fulfilling.

Geographic Location: They are found throughout the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans. In the Pacific, their range extends as far north as Alaska and south beyond the southernmost tip of New Zealand. In the Atlantic, they can be found as far north as Norway and the Arctic Circle and south to the tip of Africa. They are mainly pelagic (open ocean) wanderers but migrate to tropical and subtropical coastal regions to mate and nest.( Osborne,2015) In 1982, scientists estimated that there were 115,000 adult female leatherback sea turtles worldwide. Recent estimates have placed the number between 20,000 and 30,000 (Singh,2007). Trends in Population: The global population for this species was estimated to be 115,000 adult females in 1982. By 1996 this had been revised down to about 30-40,000. Leatherback populations in the Pacific and Indian Oceans have undergone dramatic declines in the past forty years. For example, the nesting colony at Terengganu, Malaysia went from more than 3,000 females in 1968, to 20 in 1993, to just 2 in 1993 - there are no signs of recovery. Similar scenarios have occurred in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Mexico. Numbers of females recorded at four formerly major Pacific rookeries have declined to about 250 in Mexico, 117 in Costa Rica, two in Malaysia, and fewer than 550 in Indonesia(Anonymous, 2006) Reproduction: Leatherbacks mate offshore in shallow waters near the nesting area. The females dig their flask-shaped nests at night on sloping sandy beaches backed by vegetation. Six clutches can be laid in a season, with a 10-day period between nesting. The females may renest up to 7 miles from the first nest. An average clutch contains 80 to 85 eggs and incubation takes from 55 to 74 days. The 3-inch hatchlings emerge at night and head toward the ocean. The turtles reach sexual maturity at 6 to 10 years of age; the females nest every second or third year. In the U.S., nesting occurs from about March to July. Female leatherbacks nest an average of 5 to 7 times within a nesting season, with an observed maximum of 11 nests. Most leatherbacks remigrate to their nesting beaches at 2 to 3-year intervals. (Department of energy and environmental protection, 2014) Threats: 1- Marine pollution It is the greatest threat for leatherback sea turtles, while they accidentally eat balloons and plastic bags floating in the water which they mistaken as jellyfish. (Leigh,2015) 2- Overharvesting and illegal: Egg collection on many turtle nesting beaches is a very serious threat, especially in Southeast Asia where a culture of legal egg collection leads to the removal of tens of thousands of eggs. This practice has contributed to the local extinction of leatherbacks in Malaysia. Within the last several decades extensive egg collection and the killing of adult turtles in Indonesia has resulted in huge population declines throughout the region. Despite protective legislation, many eggs produced each year in Central America are.

Generations in the Workplace For the first time in history, four distinct generations - Matures, Boomers, Xers, and Millennials - are employed sided by side in the workplace. Each generation has distinct attitudes, behaviors, expectations, habits and motivational buttons. Effective management of this multigenerational workforce is vital to longevity and success. At work, generational differences can affect everything, including recruiting, building teams, dealing with change, motivating, managing, and maintaining and increasing productivity. Think of how generational differences in communication styles might affect misunderstandings, high employee turnover, difficulty in attracting employees and gaining employee commitment.

Genre, a category of artistic production characterized by similarities in composition and style, is a term used to discuss literature, music, art, and film. It is particularly useful in critical applications because it distinguishes a work within a context of similar works. In film, we are familiar with certain broad genre categories such as horror, science-fiction, romance, and drama. Understanding genre helps provide the viewer with certain expectations about film. For instance, the film The Conjuring trailer (Version 2) is of the horror genre and thus can be discussed in context with other horror films. More specifically, it is of the sub-genre, supernatural horror, so it can be discussed in context with, say, The Exorcist trailer . Making this distinction enables the audience to situate their reaction within a particular framework. Such framework is important to our work here. In this discussion Identify a film and classify it according to its genre (or sub-genre). Include a link(s) to a trailer or scene(s) from the film. Discuss the conventions that are typical in films of that genre (or sub-genre). Explain how this specific film meets the expectations of its genre. 200 words in length. Support your claims with examples from the required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references. APA style need to cite off of the chapters provided!!
