Paper 1: Case Study Analysis [Week 4] “ Public Sector Management “ is intended to assess your ability to apply critical thinking skills as a public sector manager working in a global environment and to apply critical thinking and analytic skills to global trade situations. In this course, you will complete the authentic assessment in two parts.
Case Study: The Case Study analysis focuses on Modules 1“3 of the course and asks you to write a 5-7 page paper comparing and contrasting the management of an important public sector issue in your home country to that of the same public issue in another country of your choosing.
Research and Analysis of Public Sector Issue and its Management
This case study requires a 5-7-page paper, which does not include cover page, table of contents or bibliography and footnote pages. You will research and compare and contrast how an important public sector issue is managed in two countries, of your choosing. You must compare and contrast each countries handling of the issue you picked and then offer your own solution to the problem. For example, you could compare and contrast the management of health programs to combat the H1N1 virus in the United States and China or how the sparsity of food is handled in Bangladesh and India etc.
Select a public sector issue of personal interest, chose two countries in which you will compare and contrast each countries handling of the issue and then offer up your own reasoned recommendation on how you feel the issue should be handled by both countries. Keep in mind, merely agreeing with how one country handles the issue is not sufficient. Your opinion on how your feel each country should handle the issue is very important part of the case study as it shows me additional research beyond how the countries are handling the issue and your analysis to back up your recommendation. Think of paper as an outsider going into each country and making educated recommendations on how they can improve their handling of the issue.
