Note to instructor: These slides do not follow the outline order
of the chapter. This is intentional, for lecture purposes. Feel
free to rearrange and modify to suit your needs.
What Chapter 2 DoesLays out a spectrum of organizations, from
government thru nonprofit to businessConsiders similarities and
differences among organization sectorsExplores how lines blur
between sectorsExamines the environment that all organizations
share
Organization TermsDepartmentAgencyBureauBureaucracy
Caution:
Many terms have multiple definitions
Department:
-- major subunit of a large org
-- cabinet-level office in U.S. Fed gov
Agency:
-- an administrative unit of gov
-- an independent reg. agency w/in gov.
-- a synonym for “bureau”
-- a nonprofit organization
Bureau:
-- a major division within a department
-- a “cost center” within an organization
Bureaucracy:
-- a synonym for gov or large org (sometimes derisive)
-- a form of organization (e.g., ideal type)
What “Blurring” MeansIt’s a blending or overlapping of
“privateness” and “publicness”Organizations blur more and
more often
Types of BlurringContinuum of public-to-private Mixture of
public and private Who staffs the front office? Who staffs the
back office?Overlap of purposes
This slide introduces the next several slides

prog.
The first column represents the front office of an organization,
which is what the public sees. The second office represents
who might handle a particular operation for the “fronting”
organization. More examples are available in Chapter 2, Table
2-2. You or the students may wish to create additional
examples.
Overlapping PurposesGovernment, nonprofit, and for-profit
orgs at times offer similar servicesExamples:Hospitals, trash
services, security servicesLoans, package delivery, many
othersReasons: What, why, when, for whom, where
Reasons are manifold.
-- What involves the type and intensity of service (e.g., free
clinics vs. private physicians and specialists)
-- Why involves whether public need, level of essential
investment, commercial potential
-- When involves situations such as catastrophes and
temporary situations
-- For whom involves cohorts within the public (e.g., the
poor, the rich)
-- Where involves local choice (e.g., trash pickup)
--
Contrast & Compare
Public & Private OrganizationsIn what ways do public and
private organizations differ?In what ways are they alike?How
might their differences and similarities influence generic
organization theory?
This slide introduces the next group of slides. Invite students to
share their thought about these questions. Use the classroom
chalkboard (or have students serve as scribes) to list student
answers to each question.
Ways Gov’t Orgs Are Unique (1 of 3)Function: Administering
the lawFinanceNo profit for owners/shareholdersTypically
funded thru appropriationsMissionDetermined by lawSet by
political officials, usually not internallyConstitutional/statutory
constraints
Ways Gov’t Orgs Are Unique (2 of 3)Purpose, roles are more
complex, politicalPolitical factors influence organizational
structure, sizeprocesses, location(s)External environment judges
effectiveness, efficiency through accountability todefined
constituencies, general publicpolitical officials, oversight
bodies
Ways Gov’t Orgs Are Unique (3 of 3)Goals are both general and
contradictorySometimes contradictory, such as service and
enforcementSometimes unattainable, such as full homeland
security
Ways Nonprofits Are UniqueFunction: Addressing unmet
needsNonprofits serve . .Members – churches, unions, clubs,
othersNonmembers – help/service orgs, PACs, othersSome have
tax exempt revenuesChurches, charitable orgs, othersMust have
IRS/state tax approvalOften rely on volunteers
Ways Public Orgs Are SimilarPublic organizations = gov’t +
nonprofitNeeds drivenNot profit drivenEffectiveness determined
by success in addressing missionWill fill needs that free-market
ignoresMust maintain substantial public trust
Ways Businesses Are UniqueFunction: Serving as economic
engineBenefit owners by selling goods/servicesMission: Chosen
by ownersChanges at will of owners; market-
orientedAccountable Primarily to shareholdersSecondarily to
customers
Ways All Orgs Are SimilarStructure, scale – the range is
enormousShared environment – common to allDemographic
trends, natural environmentGlobalization, overarching events
(e.g., 9-11)Technology advances, ever-rising
expectationsBehaviors – often anthropomorphicSelf-protection,
life cycles, personality (culture)Competition – in many forms
Fundamentally, the list of traits all organizations share in
common is far longer than the list of traits unique to each
category of organization – whether government, nonprofit,
private, or any hybrid thereof – even though their distinguishing
traits involve fundamental differences. Possible exercise: Have
teams of students develop lists of similarities and differences
(see earlier “your thoughts” slide).
Market Theory & Public OrgsRoles in market for public
organizations:Indivisible markets, e.g.,Addressing widespread
air and water pollutionAllocating broadcast
frequenciesUnprofitable markets, e.g.,Caring for the
poorServices for extreme rural areasApplies polit. decisions
from public desires
(Un)important Fundamentals?True or false: Public and private
management are fundamentally alike in all unimportant
respects.This affects generic (comprehensive) organization
theory?What is your reasoning?
Adapted from Graham Allison (1992)
Ethics in Public OrganizationsEthics involvesDoing the right
thingBased on society-wide standards, valuesThrough principled
reasoningEssential for maintaining public trustPublic service
challenges includeMaximizing benefit while minimizing
harmResolving “right vs. right” issues
Blurring & PostmodernismPros & consPro: Challenges
assumptions, viewpoints, labels, principles – even
“rationality”Con: Incomplete, self-absorbed,
“jargonistic”Advocates Stepping outside a topic to question
itRethinking fundamentalsBeing creative and open Applying
broad view
Sector Blurring & Public OrgsGovernment, nonprofit, and for-
profit organizations populate a continuumOrganizations
themselves may intermix public and private sectorsAll share a
dynamic environmentEthics, important for all organizations, are
essential for public organizations

Chapter 2Blurring SectorsPublic and PrivateOrga.docx

  • 1. Chapter 2 Blurring Sectors: Public and Private Organization Theory: A Public and Nonprofit Perspective Note to instructor: These slides do not follow the outline order of the chapter. This is intentional, for lecture purposes. Feel free to rearrange and modify to suit your needs. What Chapter 2 DoesLays out a spectrum of organizations, from government thru nonprofit to businessConsiders similarities and differences among organization sectorsExplores how lines blur between sectorsExamines the environment that all organizations share Organization TermsDepartmentAgencyBureauBureaucracy Caution: Many terms have multiple definitions
  • 2. Department: -- major subunit of a large org -- cabinet-level office in U.S. Fed gov Agency: -- an administrative unit of gov -- an independent reg. agency w/in gov. -- a synonym for “bureau” -- a nonprofit organization Bureau: -- a major division within a department -- a “cost center” within an organization Bureaucracy: -- a synonym for gov or large org (sometimes derisive) -- a form of organization (e.g., ideal type) What “Blurring” MeansIt’s a blending or overlapping of “privateness” and “publicness”Organizations blur more and more often Types of BlurringContinuum of public-to-private Mixture of public and private Who staffs the front office? Who staffs the back office?Overlap of purposes This slide introduces the next several slides

The first column represents the front office of an organization, which is what the public sees. The second office represents who might handle a particular operation for the “fronting” organization. More examples are available in Chapter 2, Table 2-2. You or the students may wish to create additional examples.
  • 4. Overlapping PurposesGovernment, nonprofit, and for-profit orgs at times offer similar servicesExamples:Hospitals, trash services, security servicesLoans, package delivery, many othersReasons: What, why, when, for whom, where Reasons are manifold. -- What involves the type and intensity of service (e.g., free clinics vs. private physicians and specialists) -- Why involves whether public need, level of essential investment, commercial potential -- When involves situations such as catastrophes and temporary situations -- For whom involves cohorts within the public (e.g., the poor, the rich) -- Where involves local choice (e.g., trash pickup) -- Contrast & Compare Public & Private OrganizationsIn what ways do public and private organizations differ?In what ways are they alike?How might their differences and similarities influence generic organization theory? This slide introduces the next group of slides. Invite students to share their thought about these questions. Use the classroom chalkboard (or have students serve as scribes) to list student answers to each question.

  • 7. Fundamentally, the list of traits all organizations share in common is far longer than the list of traits unique to each category of organization – whether government, nonprofit, private, or any hybrid thereof – even though their distinguishing traits involve fundamental differences. Possible exercise: Have teams of students develop lists of similarities and differences (see earlier “your thoughts” slide). Market Theory & Public OrgsRoles in market for public organizations:Indivisible markets, e.g.,Addressing widespread air and water pollutionAllocating broadcast frequenciesUnprofitable markets, e.g.,Caring for the poorServices for extreme rural areasApplies polit. decisions from public desires (Un)important Fundamentals?True or false: Public and private management are fundamentally alike in all unimportant respects.This affects generic (comprehensive) organization theory?What is your reasoning?
