    The inhabitants of entire islands were killed just to improve the Netherlands' spice trade. The conflict was quite long and took a great toll on every party involved in the whole ordeal. Following the conflicts, the remaining Indonesian states crumbled away into ruins, and in the following years, the Dutch were able to construct their colonial empire on top of those same ruins of the old states. But even while the Dutch were celebrating among themselves that they had established their colonies all throughout Indonesia, a new Indonesia was being built right under their noses without them even noticing. In all of the Asian nation such as in Japan, in China, in Turkey, and in India, a new Asia was being assembled that would include Indonesia.…

    Indonesia has experienced the melting of cultures for thousands of years since it is along important trading routes between the Middle East and Far East Asia. Every culture that has interacted with the Indonesian groups has left a mark on their culture, producing a mix of cultural norms, ideas, and religions. One factor that has allowed so many distinct groups to maintain their cultures in the fact that these cultures developed and grew on islands, which cuts down the amount of interaction that a culture has with others. Another factor that allowed so many distinct groups to maintain their culture is that although interaction still occurred, it was much less frequent than if the cultures lived right beside one another. Also, because the cultural groups think of themselves with a local identity over a national identity this allows the groups to hold on to their customs and beliefs more…

    Bureaucracy is the other side of the coin, defined as : “a system for controlling or managing a country, company, or organization that is operated by a large number of officials employed to follow rules carefully”(“Bureaucracy Definition,” 2015), this means that those who support a Public Administration system that is fully bureaucratic want those who are most qualified appointed by those in power to care for the country(Crew, 1992). This push and pull of systems has plagued Public administration since the start and never seems to fully get answered(Burke & Cleary, 1989). There are scholars who believe that the greatest system is a combination of both and these three systems are what we will be examining in this literature review. Democracy is the system that most commonly the public thinks of when they think of Public Administration and public service.…

    Outline why it is sometimes argued that the public and private sectors have converged since 1979 and consider to what extent you agree that this is the case Since 1979, there has been a global shift in the provision of public services, from solely public sector, to a greater involvement of the private sector. Until just over thirty years ago, the public sector was to abide by strict rules and codes of conduct with regards to management, known as Public Administration. However, it was recognised by some that this traditional, possibly out-dated style, proved particularly ineffective and inefficient and so from the mid to late 70’s, a new, more ‘managerial’ approach was brought about, which was heavily influenced by the private sector management techniques. This new approach was known and referred to as New Public Management, and there were a number of factors which initiated this change, of which included…

    Comparative Analysis After summarizing the two articles, it is understood that Ingraham (2006) supports the idea of change in civil service reform, but wants merit to be an important aspect and oppose the idea of “at-will” employment. On the other hand, Condrey and Battaglio (2007) are in favor of “at- will” employment and changes and expansion of the civil service reform. There seem to be some similarities between the two arguments. However, there is a difference in opinions for both the writers. Ingraham’s article gives more importance to the concept of merit.…

    The original bureaucracy of the federal government consisted only of employees from three small departments, State, Treasury, and War. The executive branch employs today almost three million people. Not only have the numbers of bureaucrats grown, but also the methods and standards for hiring and promoting people have changed dramatically. Given the size of the bureaucracy, it is difficult to imagine a statistically typical bureaucrat. As a whole, however, the permanent bureaucracy is more broadly representative of the American people than are legislators, judges, or presidential appointees in the executive branch.…

    Critique of the Performance Management Process The Performance Management System (PMS) has defined steps that make up a Performance Management Process (PMP), represented by six important stages. To be effective, it is necessary for alignment of the PMS with an organization’s vision, mission, and strategic goals, and perhaps most important, includes full participation from management at each step in a PMP. The steps or components in the PMP interconnect, whereby if a step fails to meet the intended purpose, the system as a whole suffers negative repercussions. Two related and interconnected components of the PMP outlined, are in the beginning stages of the process, prerequisites, and performance planning.…
