You have been solicited to conduct a performance evaluation for a public organization that has been corrupted over issues of personnel embezzling funds. Before actually conducting the evaluation, you—the evaluator—need to know certain specifics to conduct a thorough evaluation.
Compose a proposal that describes what type of evaluation will be conducted. In the proposal, explain the type of public organization. Describe some of the main services, products, and activities the organization provides to the.

Understanding the organizational, legal, and cultural differences between managing in the public sector versus the private sector is vital to
organizational success. Public managers face unique challenges (both ideological and practical), which is why an understanding of the dynamic
interaction of theory and practice is important. In addition, public managers need to understand the enduring issues and evolving tools required
in public service.
For this milestone, first select an organizational, a legal, or a cultural challenge facing public administrators that is also of interest to you. You
may select one of these challenges, or you may choose another, with instructor approval:
Discuss the emergence of the “governance without government” concept, which focuses on the importance of networks, nontraditional
partnerships, and the markets to guide society, rather than traditional bureaucratic institutions. This movement has taken hold in
Europe and is gaining momentum in the United States.
How is the new public administration movement impacting the “accountability versus efficiency” paradigm that has defined the
profession since its inception?
How is the reintroduction of privatization impacting public policy decision making and the targeted social outcomes? For example,
imagine a state determines that access to high-speed internet for every home is essential for long-term public health, yet in areas of the
state, the market has determined that it is not profitable to provide the service. Should the state form a partnership with a private
sector business (i.e., subsidize) to ensure that their social goal is obtained?
What are effective performance measures to evaluate programs and management in the public sector? Traditionally, the focus has been
on measuring inputs and activities. Is this focus still effective?
How can flexibility and creativity be integrated into the structures of public organizations in a way that allows for nimble, street-level
decision making to swiftly adapt to ever-changing environmental conditions while maintaining some level of accountability to the
citizens?
For your milestone submission, draft the Introduction and Theoretical Overview sections of the final project (Sections I and II), focusing on the
challenge you selected.
Be sure to address all the following critical elements:
I. Introduction
Concisely describe your chosen organizational, legal, or cultural challenge in the field of public administration.
II. Theoretical Overview: Ensure that you focus your response specifically on the organizational, legal, or cultural challenge that you

Assignment 1
At the heart of democratic public administration and leadership is the goal to serve the public interest while seeking to achieve the underlying policy goals of equity, efficiency, security, and liberty. How would you integrate an understanding of the public interest into your organization? Use at least two specific examples. Make sure you define the term “public interest” in your answer. With this in mind, consider the following questions.
Sometimes critics will assail “democratic public administration” with the following remarks:
“You just can’t let employees vote on everything!”
“If you let employees have too much say, they’ll just cut back their work hours or productivity!”
“I can’t let employees have this much say because they just don’t know enough of the rationale behind our decisions!”
What would be your response to these types of critiques? Or do you agree with them?

Locate seven grants. The seven grants are listed below by type. For each grant, include in the assignment a summary of the grant and provide a URL or link to the RFP or instructions for the grant (not just a general list of grants). The seven grants are:
· Government grants
· Two federal grant opportunities with at least one related to your statement of needs
· One state grant
· One local (city, county, or school district) grant
· Foundation sources
· Two foundation grants- at least one should be appropriate to fund your project/program

Most funders will request an evaluation of the grant program. The funder wants evidence that the funded program achieved its intended outcomes. Therefore, understanding types of evaluation methods and evaluation criteria is important. Using the course material and additional research:
1. Discuss formative and summative evaluations.
2. Research evaluation criteria used in three grant proposals, identify the criteria used, and discuss any commonalities between the criteria.
3. Now that you know more about program evaluations, how might you write the grant proposal differently?

Municipalities that are currently contracting police service responsibilities to outside jurisdictions are now in a unique position to seriously consider re-establishing its own municipal police department that can easily result in an increase compliment of law enforcement resources at a significant reduction in costs. By severing the police service contract, a municipality is now in a position to literally hit the “restart” key. By re-establishing its police department, the municipality is now in a position whereupon it is not bound by any existing or past labor contracts, policies and procedures, pensions or entitlement programs. The municipality can now start with a fresh approach to organizational management and budget control.
Today’s economy is significantly challenging numerous municipalities in relation to accumulated debt due to decreasing sources of revenue and a weakening tax base. One area that is negatively impacting several jurisdictions is the unsustainable costs associated with employee entitlement benefit programs that are protected and guaranteed by labor contracts. This includes generous lifetime pensions, COLA (cost of living adjustment), and medical benefits each of which are funded at the taxpayer expense. The contractual obligations associated with these benefits are now holding several cities hostage threatening potential bankrupting. The traditional assumed benefits such as pensions and health insurance are no loner the norm due to the unsustainable costs incurred by city jurisdictions.
Several cities and states are painstakingly attempting to renegotiate employee pension and retirement obligations to reduce the projected unsustainable debt liabilities. By forming a new police department, the municipality is no longer bound or mandated to provide or continue such lucrative and generous pensions.
Throughout the past two decades numerous municipalities throughout the United States willingly disbanded local control of their police departments by contracting police services to jurisdictional county sheriff departments. During this era, local governments were often frustratingly plagued with several unresolved internal challenges consisting of loss of control and accountability, increasing crime rates, consistent impasse with labor negotiations, sensationalized internal investigations, nepotism, political interference, and budgets. County law enforcement agencies quickly seized upon this opportunity. In order to expand jurisdictional control and power, tantalizing contractual mergers were offered to municipalities at a significant cost reduction. County agencies were able to.

One area that is negatively impacting several jurisdictions is the unsustainable costs associated with employee entitlement benefit programs that are protected and guaranteed by labor contracts. This includes generous lifetime pensions, COLA (cost of living adjustment), and medical benefits each of which are funded at the taxpayer expense. The contractual obligations associated with these benefits are now holding several cities hostage threatening potential bankrupting. The traditional assumed benefits such as pensions and health insurance are no loner the norm due to the unsustainable costs incurred by city jurisdictions.
Several cities and states are painstakingly attempting to renegotiate employee pension and retirement obligations to reduce the projected unsustainable debt liabilities. By forming a new police department, the municipality is no longer bound or mandated to provide or continue such lucrative and generous pensions.
Throughout the past two decades numerous municipalities throughout the United States willingly disbanded local control of their police departments by contracting police services to jurisdictional county sheriff departments. During this era, local governments were often frustratingly plagued with several unresolved internal challenges consisting of loss of control and accountability, increasing crime rates, consistent impasse with labor negotiations, sensationalized internal investigations, nepotism, political interference, and budgets. County law enforcement agencies quickly seized upon this opportunity. In order to expand jurisdictional control and power, tantalizing contractual mergers were offered to municipalities at a significant cost reduction. County agencies were able to.

Great Buys is an internet-based company headquartered in New York that sells household electronics to consumers in the United States. The management team at Great Buys has some concerns about its online contracting process. The management team asks you, the company’s contract manager, to work with your team and address their concerns that include the following:
· Great Buys isn’t sure it has a binding contract with its customers, since the contract is completely online and in electronic format.
· Consumers have argued they are not bound to the online contract because there’s no handwritten “pen and ink” signature.
· Great Buys also wants to know if any international laws will apply once the company starts selling its electronic products internationally.
· Great Buys has been sued in different state courts all over the country, and it would like to know if an arbitration clause requiring that arbitration be conducted in New York City will be enforceable.
· Great Buys would also like to know the types of intellectual property (IP) that should be protected and the IP clauses that would beneficial for them to add to the contract.
· Finally, Great Buys wants one or two suggestions for improving its internal business procedures so that customer product complaints don’t turn into contract-related claims or lawsuits.

Module 6 - Identifying IssuesObjectives
The aim of this assignment is to understand the complexity of issues faced by CEO's of major corporations. At any one point in time such an individual might face dozens of issues which need to be prioritized.Instructor Comments
Predicting competitor behaviour is of interest to most companies. Future plans are of course among the most tightly guarded of secrets held by executive teams. Corporate outsiders are rarely privy to this type of information except in cases where it is accidently shared or intentionally stolen. Understanding the future can be valuable. Imagine if an investment analyst knew in advance of BHP Billiton’s interest in acquiring Rio Tinto. Knowing the future is an unrealistic expectation of analysts. However, understanding the issues currently facing a corporation and its executive team is not an unreasonable demand.
On a regular basis a CEO will have dozens of issues on his or her plate. The challenge for an analyst is not necessarily identifying all of the issues. The challenge is to identify the major issues and then estimate which of these issues are of the most pressing concern for the CEO. If this can be accomplished then predicting the future becomes a little easier. Sources of the issues include but are not limited to the company website, the regulator website and the industry association website. Deciding which of the issues matter most is an inexact science. One means choosing and ranking issues is to borrow from a school of thought termed Institutional Theory. One theorist from this school, Mark Suchman suggests three rules of thumb. Issues are important if they financially impact an organization, if they are viewed as legitimate and if they need to be addressed in an urgent manner. A ranking scheme based on these three points can help narrow the list of key issues to a few.Assignment
This assignment seeks to help you understand the answer to a broader concern and that is, “What issues do CEO's face and how might they prioritize decision making?" You should base your responses to the following questions on your analysis of the company that you have chosen for this course.
Please answer the following questions:
· Use online sources to identify fifteen issues facing your company’s CEO.
· Group the issues into three categories: issues of interest to all industry participants, issues of interest to regulators, and issues facing companies seeking to enter foreign markets.
· Rank the issues using three measures: the legitimacy of the issue to the company, the urgency with which the issues will need to be addressed by the company, and the impact of each issue on the company.
· Please create a table to summarize this information and be sure to associate each issue with a specific online information source url.
· In one half page, please summarize what you think is the connection between the key insights of the Rogers and Tierney, (2004) reading and this assignment.

processing at the Department of Motor Vehicles [DMV], new traffic construction, improved
public parking, safer public parks, implementation of recreation projects, addition of bike

decision-making strategies listed in the Unit IV Lesson.2) Reflecting on the unit readings for
budget strategies, identify and discuss examples of revenue streams for a nonprofit
organization in your community. Examples of local public services could include fire
services, library facilities, community projects, or nonprofit public services. Discuss a
strategy that was effective or one that was not. Your journal entry must be at least 200
words in length. No references or citations are necessary.3) The words financial
accountability and agency transparency are great buzzwords when it comes to effective

information or decisions? Your journal entry must be at least 200 words in length. No
references or citations are necessary.4) Reflect on a past experience in the workplace or

services would serve the citizenry more effectively in your local community. Reflect on

the local government alone should have complete control of public education in your
community. Your journal entry must be at least 200 words in length. No references or
