About the Book
This book covers all the important aspects of administrative
theory: its basic concepts, forms of organisation and its principles,
administrative law, comparative pubic administration, public policy, the
developmental paradigm and personnel and financial administration. It comes in
an attempt to satisfy the need for a work that would present all aspects of
administrative theory in one place. As the series title suggests, it is a Rapid
Revision Study pack that analyses the diverse aspects of administrative theory
in a comprehensive manner supported by numerous examples, especially with regard
to their application in different administrative systems. It is a compendium of
theories, principles and techniques of public administration characterised by a
detailed yet balanced presentation emphasising on clarity of subject matter and
lucidity of language.
Public administration is a subject of study in various universities of India. It
is an optional subject in the Civil Services (Main) Examination conducted by the
Union Public Service Commission and is a subject in the UGC (NET) examination.
This book would be helpful to all those who have taken up Public Administration
as a subject of their choice for graduation and post-graduation courses. It
would be useful for all candidates appearing for the Civil Services (Main)
Examination and the UGC NET examinations who have Public Administration as a
subject, as it covers the latest syllabus for both these examinations.
