Read these instructions and the grading rubric carefully before beginning your Administrative
Memorandum: Public Management Assignment. You are responsible to read and understand
these documents.
You are required to write a brief memorandum explaining and contrasting the roles of
government, citizens, businesses, and nonprofits in traditional public administration with the
roles of those same entities in the context of the New Public Management. You must include an
evaluation considering biblical principles.
This is a graduate-level research assignment designed to test your ability to conduct effective
research, gain a nuanced understanding of complex concepts, synthesize the ideas reflected in
your research with those reflected in your textbook readings, and to evaluate and apply these
ideas to an issue of political economics.
As with all graduate-level assignments, you are expected to comport yourself with the highest
writing, research, and ethical standards. To do well on this Administrative Memorandum:
Public Management Assignment, you must conduct high-quality research and offer a rich,
well-supported analysis; mere opinion or conjecture will not suffice.
You must avoid careless or simple grammatical errors such as misspellings, incomplete
sentences, comma splices, faulty noun/verb agreement, etc. Such errors will result in substantial
point deductions.
