Teacher's Note

Task 1 – definition of DA
If it is neither a system, nor an action, then, what is it? Be precise when you defining the concept. I’m sure that all of you understand our discussion in the last class about the whole definitions very well. But, when it comes to makes your own definition you don’t have to replicate the definitions given by those scholars. Just feel free to formulate your own understanding and define it. For example, why don’t you justify the obstacle in development to be developed as a concept in defining DA? I think that point really cool to work with. Try again, ok? [Spelling mistakes – deduction]


Task 2 – why do we need development?
Good answer (well, if after this you get hate-comment for receiving such good compliment from me, just ignore it. It is their problem if they don’t agree with me :p).


Task 2 – What are the significance of administration in development?
The significance is clear. But, it sound better if you can come out with several case studies that may justify the establishment of those government agencies. You also may consider doing comparative study on cases that being administered before and after the establishment of those agencies. For example, how development is done in Malaysia before the ICU came into existence.

Somehow, I just couldn’t understand why Putrajaya was regarded as successful of DA case when you defining DA is something else in the first place? Enlighten me, please.


Task 2 – The differences between nations

I have no comment on these since most of the group gets the answer from the same source. However, none of the group acknowledges the sources. Deduction for that.

Note: you can create link to that source and don’t have to write the whole URL. Highlight the key word, then click at “link” icon, type the URL, voila!



TASK 3 – The relevancy of Development Administration to:

Human and Social Dimension of Development:
I don’t think I understand what you are talking about except some facts here and there.



Economic Development:
Well defined – but be précised with your example. A budget is not more than a blueprint for government expenditure, but the real use of budget all that matter.



Political Development:
“For example, the politics in Malaysia where there are General Election.”


Huh??



Public Administration Development (Reinventing Public Sector) :
OK … but how would you reinvent the public sector? No explanation.
The example given is too simple … how JPN reinvienting their department? What they did? No explanation either.
