Implementing Change at 68th District Court: A Participant Observation Case Study

Abstract

Implementation is an ignored area of research in Public Administration. Most Public Administrators are involved in implementing policy developed by the Legislature, the Governor, the Congress, the Mayor, the Board of Managers or the Board of Directors of a non-profit agency or an institution. As "implementers", they operate within organizations which possess certain characteristics and develop according to various principles. Perhaps the most difficult task administrators face is that of implementing change in organizations. The topic of this research, then, is to examine classical principles of organizations/organizational change which apply to the 68th District Court, City of Flint. The objective will be to develop a list of what the 68th District Court needs both short and long-term and a plan of action for meeting those needs.Master of Public AdministrationPublic AdministrationUniversity of Michigan-Flinthttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/143449/1/HughesJ.pd
