PUBLIC POLICY : INTRODUCTION YOU SHOULD KNOW!!

 



PUBLIC POLICY


•Policy can be broadly defined as a proposed course of action of an individual, a group, an institution or government, to realise a specific objective or purpose, within a given environment. 

•Policy formulation is necessary prior to every action in every form of organisation, private or public. It is a prerequisite for all management.

• It is the policy which lays down the framework within which the organisational goals are set to be accomplished. The objectives of an organisation which are often vague and general are concretised in the policy goals, which set the administrative wheels in motion. Policy formulation is one of the vital tasks of any government.

•In the words of Appleby, "The essence of public administration is policy making." Marshall Dimock defines it as "the consciously acknowledged rules of conduct that guide administrative decisions".

•Public policies are those, which are, developed by governmental bodies and officials, though non-governmental actors and agencies may also exert direct or indirect pressure or influence in the policy-making process.
