Question no. 1: Public administration and business administration can be described as two different sides of the same discipline. There are several areas where a comparison can be made between the two, the most obvious being efficiency. The focus on profit and profits is more of an area of ​​business administration, the least human-focused. Business administration is more dependent on other companies and uses other companies to provide its product. Public administration, on the other hand, is a little more difficult to define, is interdependent and is motivated by the common good rather than profit. The public sector faces increasing pressure to run government like a business; be more cost efficient, as small as possible, competitive, entrepreneurial and focused on customer satisfaction. When the focus shifts to integrating business practices into public administration, the quality of public service declines and the interaction becomes less of a public service commitment and more akin to producing and marketing a product. Since the Regan era more and more people have taken the idealistic political position that governments should act more like a corporation with the president as both CEO and commander in chief and voters as customers and shareholders. There are three main reasons why the adoption of this ideology and the adoption of corporate principles and practices undermines the essence and fundamental values ​​of Public Administration. The first reason is the most obvious to the casual observer: businesses are based on profits and governments are based on people. Success in business means profit, so asking the government to run more like a business is asking the government to start maki...... middle of paper......lic is restored to his position as property and citizens engage with governance institutions to create public outcomes. Despite these criticisms, reforms in public administration have had widespread impacts in this country and around the world. The principles behind these reforms have improved government performance and accountability, the public administration has used various strategies to simplify management and improve public service. It is important to keep in mind that while there may be a significant improvement in productivity as a result of technological advances or reforms, the most significant long-term gains will be achieved as a result of attention to the human side of the organization. Successful public administration requires a successful balance between the concerns of the technical side of the agency and the focus on people.
