Riggs Prismatic Model
Fred Riggs developed the Prismatic Model to analyze the administrative systems of developing countries. The model categorizes societies as fused, prismatic, or diffracted. A prismatic society is characterized by heterogeneity, formalism, and overlapping, with both traditional and modern structures coexisting. The administrative subsystem of a prismatic society is called "sala," which exhibits heterogeneity through unequal development, formalism through differences between prescribed and actual practices, and overlapping through the coexistence of traditional and modern structures in various sectors of society. The prismatic model aims to provide a more appropriate framework for understanding public administration in developing nations compared to previous modernization theories.

Max weber’s contributions to management thought
Max Weber was a German sociologist born in 1864 who studied bureaucracy and organizational structures. He viewed bureaucracy as a system of authority based on discipline, with key features including an administrative class, hierarchy, division of labor, official rules and procedures, and impersonal relationships governed by rules rather than personalities. Bureaucracy aims for uniform application of rules and standardized processes. While it can lead to consistent behavior and specialist roles, bureaucracy is also criticized for being inflexible, discouraging initiative, and resistant to change.

Competing Interests in Public PolicyContemporary public policy oft.docx
Competing Interests in Public Policy
Contemporary public policy often is the result of a complex series of interactions among a large group of actors. Legislative bodies and government agencies are important players in policy formulation and implementation; however, they are not the only entities involved. There is a multitude of interested parties that may be involved in a public policy issue. For example, education policy issues might involve National Departments of Education, local departments of education, local school boards, teachers, and parents. In addition, there may be other competing interests such as church groups, atheist groups, or publishing groups, which believe that certain subjects should or should not be taught in schools. The interaction among interested parties—referred to as and considered to be competing interests—may be harmonious or conflicting, but their collective involvement in the policy network may have a major effect on outcomes of public policy.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Review the article “Using Collaboration as a Governance Strategy: Lessons from Six Watershed Management Programs” in this week’s Learning Resources. Think about how competing interests might collaborate in order to influence the formulation of public policy.
Select an issue related to your specialization or one with which you are familiar. Identify competing interests related to your chosen issue.
Think about the role that competing interests might play in advocating and formulating public policy related to the issue you selected.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post by Day 4
a brief description of the issue you selected and the competing interests involved. Then, explain the role that the competing interests play in advocating and formulating public policy related to your particular issue.
If you live outside the United States, analyze a policy issue in your country along with the competing interests that help shape it.
Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.

Chapt 12 interest groups
Interest groups represent different interests in society and seek to influence the policy process through both insider tactics like lobbying and litigation, and outsider tactics that influence elections and media. They serve representation, participation, and information functions, but some argue they primarily benefit wealthy special interests. Pluralists see competition between groups as moderating and improving policy, while critics argue it distorts outcomes away from the public good. The influence of iron triangles of agencies, committees, and groups has also been questioned as potentially undermining democracy.

Stakeholders Engagement in Policy Development
Student’s Name
Institutional Affiliation
The topic chosen for the research paper is “Stakeholders Engagement in Policy Development
.” It is accompanied with the problem statement of examining the way the stakeholders’ engagement in the policy development is used to develop the policies together with the impacts of the stakeholders in the development of the policies.
1. Introduction
The stakeholder’s engagement is referred to as the process whereby the organization involves the individuals that will be affected or can influence the decisions to be made. The stakeholders either support or opposes the decisions which will influence the organization both internally and externally. The stakeholders’ engagement has been seen to improve the decision making in a given organization. The main aim of this paper is to examine the way the stakeholders’ engagement in the policy development is used to develop the policies together with the impacts of the stakeholders in the development of the policies. While most of the organizations have the interest in engaging the stakeholders in the issues to deal with the policies, there is a great divergence when the stakeholders are engaged. This includes the purpose of the stake holders, when to engage them during the development of the policies, the methods to be used for the engagement, their impact, challenges, and the outcome of using the stakeholders.
2. Key Stakeholders to be Involved in the Development of the Policies

- 4. Common Problem orThreat “There is a disturbance in the Force…” Example: NSF Funding for My Research! Resource Advantage Money, Membership Size, Leadership, Information Effective Leadership Importance of interest group entrepreneurs

- 10. Equal Opportunity Interest Groups Protects rights of disadvantaged groups Example: NAACP Public Interest Groups Groups advocating for public-at-large Government Interest Groups Foreign governments lobby to change policy
- 11. DIRECT LOBBYING “Inside Lobbying” Interaction with decision makers in government INDIRECT LOBBYING “Outside Lobbying” Mobilizes interest group membership / general public to contact govt. officials on given issue
Editor's Notes
- Now we will turn to discussing interest groups.
- Pluralism - Groups compete in “marketplace of ideas” - Large number of group competing to affect policy change - Madison argued that factions were not good for democratic government, and he encouraged multiple groups to have political clout Criticism of Pluralist Model: Action gets bogged down due to having too many “interest groups in the political kitchen,” leading to government inefficiency
- Interest groups play six main roles: #1: Representation: Representing members’ views to national political institution and administrative agencies; Act of persuading policymakers to support their members’ preferences is called lobbying, a central activity of interest groups #2: Participation: Interest groups provide an avenue for citizen participation in politics that goes beyond voting in periodic elections. #3: Education: One of the most important functions of interest groups to educate policymakers regarding issues that are important to the group. Interest groups provide details on issues about which they are experts. #4: Agenda Building: Interest groups have the—responsibility or privilege— to alert the proper government authorities about its issue positions, get onto the political agenda, and make the issue a high priority for government action. #5: Provision of Program Alternatives: Interest groups can be effective at supplying alternative suggestions for how issues should be dealt with once they have been put on the agenda. #6: Program Monitoring: Interest groups keep an eye on passed policies. This helps the government decide whether to continue or change a given policy—and it also helps to keep politicians accountable by ensuring that someone is actually paying attention to what they do.
- Three are three main types of interest groups which all engage in lobbying to some degree.
- #1: Equal Opportunity Interest Groups Organized to promote the civil rights of groups that do not believe that their members’ interests are being adequately represented and protected in national politics through traditional means (Example: NAACP) #2: Public Interest Groups Try and influence government to produce socioeconomic non-economic benefits that cannot be restricted to interest groups’ members or denied any member of general public. (Example: Environmental actions by Greenpeace). #3: Government Interest Groups Foreign governments also may lobby Congress and the President, in hopes of affecting positive policy change between the United States and their country Example: A nation informs us they are making democratic changes to their country in hopes that we provide them with aid for this purpose
- There is a direct between direct and indirect lobbying: Direct Lobbying “Inside Lobbying,” interaction with actual decision makers within government. Indirect Lobbying “Outside Lobbying,” mobilizes interest group membership / general public to contact governmental officials on given issue.
