What is Administrative Buffering?
 

I am so furious with the person who set the syllabus of Pub Admin.

I have been searching for the term Administrative Buffering and there is no such thing in Public Administration. There is however one term "Organizational Buffering", which I doubt is the same term used in syllabus.

The syllabus itself is so vast that it seems as if the examiner is testing knowledge of PHDs.

I would recommend everybody to refrain from this subject....

And if anybody know anything about this concept please explain.....

So the one more addition to the list...

The syllabus setter has added a topic of Administrative reforms theories and there is no such thing like this as well. There are only Types....

enlighten me if there are any......

Administrative buffering and organisational buffering are same thing.

Administrative reform theory is NPM

They're the same thing organizational and administrative buffering. The concept means how a department can regulate itself so any scarcity of resources or any uncertainty can be avoided.

Also the reform theories are how this discipline evolved from Public Admin towards NPA then NPM and finally NPS. The arguments by major theorists of each time period can be considered the reform theories which led to change in this discipline.

And yes I agree the syllabus is vast but can be covered in a couple of weeks I think. I've opted for it in CE2021. Used the JWT book as it has all topics compiled into one, easier than googling each one by yourself. Let's see how it goes.

I want some tips that how can i prepare public administration paper for tomorrow?
