Need to comment on this information of a classmate

Jesse Ives Thursday 1. Please describe the dispositional and environmental differences between public and private organizations using the work of Rainey et al. (1976) and Allison (1979). After laying out these differences, please answer the following question: How well does contracting out, privatization, or marketization (or whatever term you prefer) work across sectors (i.e., police and prisons, schools and hospitals, public utilities and transportation)? Choose at least one example, either from this list or an entirely different service, to ground your answer. There are several differences that are outlined here in the mentioned articles, and the Allison piece does a great job of summarizing these in a table format for consumption. A lot of these can be speculative and assumptive, while broadly categorizing said beliefs. To run through them briefly, here are some of the key differences noted in a view of a public organization relative to those of a private organization: Reliance on appropriations, legal and formal constraints (from courts and governmental parties), political influences, coercion, impact of administrator's actions, public scrutiny, public expectation, complexity of objectives, authority relations and the role of the administrator, organizational performance, incentives and structures of such, personal characteristics of employees. With all of these different categories drawn, looking for differences can be a moot point in a lot of cases, because a lot of these come down to specified comparisons regarding singular cases or audits. Along with this point, many of the categories that can be found in the list above can list dangers or criticisms of public organizations that are just as likely to be a problem in private ones and are based on a singular principal that people in general are corruptible. This always has been an issue and always will be, whether its in a public or private setting. Both of which will still have governmental oversight and auditing. The true difference here, however, in private vs public is the other truth that obvious is that the biggest problem with the public arena comes bureaucracy, which is actually something that is somewhat specific to that side. Most of the categories listed above are really just telling another side to that point. I will speak to the point of privatizing in general, because it applies to all situations in this way, to cut bureaucracy it is indeed better to privatize as many sectors as possible from the government as you can. Private organizations are able to cut through messes and solve problems with more efficiency because they are not scattered across an entire governmental space. However, to minimalize the issues of coercion and corruption that are possible in any arena, this should be done strictly through well regulated and monitored non-profit organizations. At any point where there is a matter of profit to be made through the balancing of margins for public services, like police, prisons, schools, or hospitals, there is an unavoidable outcome of the public being harmed in the sake of profit. I believe that this is the real conversation that should be had after the point of public versus private. 2. In your view, what is the main purpose of reorganizing the machinery of government? When answering this question please support your answers using some of the examples of the major commissions designed to reform federal bureaucracy that are outlined by Shafritz et al. (2017). I found this question to be extremely interesting and the text does a great job of diving in for those looking to review."In general. I think that it is safe to say that the general purpose of reorganizing the machinery of government is to try and appropriate power and funding to one area versus another. rather than for the sake of improved efficiency and effectiveness. This is admitted to by the last living member of the Brownlow Commission when Nixon came under fire for his transgressions citing that their attempts to reorganize and bring more administrative powers under the executive branch
