Basics of Public Administration – Nature and Scope

There are two important views regarding to the Nature of Public Administration, that is, Integral and Managerial views.

The integral view: Administration is the sum total of all the activities such as; manual, clerical, managerial, etc., which are undertaken to realise the objectives of the organisation. According to this view, all the acts of officials of the government from the attendant to the secretaries to the government and head of the state constitute Public Administration. Henri Fayol and L.D. White are the supporters of this view.
The managerial view: According to this veiw of administration, the managerial activities of people who are involved in planning, organising, commanding, coordinating and controlling (POCCC- according to H. Fayol) constitute Public Administration.

This view regards administration as getting things done and not doing things. Luther Gullick, Herbert Simon, Smithburg and Thompson are the supporters of this view. The managerial view excludes Public Administration from non-managerial activities such as manual, clerical and technical activities.

BITCOIN

The term “Bitcoin” has been in the news lately; and its value is rising with volatility. Bitcoin is the digital currency that thrills nerds, inspires libertarians and incites the passions of economists who debate the value of money made from nothing but ones and zeros. Devotees watch the fluctuations of bitcoin’s price with a fanaticism typically reserved for college football scores while visionaries gush about the world changing possibilities of money free from government control.

Bitcoin was first mentioned in 2008 in a paper published under the pseudonym “Satoshi Nakamoto “. Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency, so called because it uses public key cryptography to process and verify payments.
