On Teaching Administrative Theory as Political Theory.
Schmidt, Ronald
Teaching Political Science, v11 n2 p78-83 Win 1983-84
In public administration courses, administrative theory is usually taught from a managerial perspective--raising questions about organizations from the perspective of the public manager. This perspective is incomplete and needs to be supplemented with a political perspective--asking questions from the viewpoint of the polity as a whole. (RM)
