Wat is die verskynsel Publieke Administrasie en wat moet 's student aan die Universiteit in die vak met dieselfde naam leer?

Abstract

A definition of public administration is necessary for decisions on what to teach students in Public Administration at a university. It is argued that such a definition should basically be descriptive or denotationa!, but with a normative aspect. However, a descriptive-cum-normative definition needs a starting point in a connotative definition that reads as follows: public administration is the organised non-political executive state function.
