I will pay for the following essay Bureaucracy Policy. The essay is to be 16 pages with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page.

ilization of anti-bureaucratic sentiments and the claim that it is time to say good-bye to bureaucracies and bureaucrats just another round in a perennial debate and ideological struggle over what desirable forms of administration and government are–that is, a contest for control of the size, agenda, organization, competences, moral foundations, staffing, resources, and outcomes of the public sector? If so, how helpful is the literature on “bureaucracy” in analyzing current administrative challenges, compared to the diagnoses and prescriptions presented by reformers over the last twenty-five years?

The paper acknowledges that there have been important changes in public administration and, even more so, in the way administration is portrayed. Yet it questions the fashionable ideas that bureaucratic organization is obsolescent and that there has been a paradigmatic shift from (Weberian) bureaucracy to market organization or network organization. (1) In contrast to decades of bureaucracy bashing, the paper argues that contemporary democracies are involved in a struggle over institutional identities and institutional balances. It also argues that for those interested in how contemporary public administration is organized, functions, and changes, it is worthwhile to reconsider and rediscover bureaucracy as an administrative form, an analytical concept, and a set of ideas and observations about public administration and formally organized institutions.

The argument is developed in the following way: First, some characteristics of bureaucratic organization are outlined. Second, claims about the undesirability of bureaucracy are discussed in relation to competing criteria of success/failure and assumptions about the performance of bureaucratic organization. Third, aspects of administrative dynamics and the viability of bureaucratic organization are inquired, and fourth, some reasons for rediscovering bureaucracy are recapitulated.

“Bureaucracy” is often used as a

All company e-mails are accessible for reading to any and all employees.Drake and Amanda occasionally smoke marijuana together. One day, Drake writes to Amanda through the company e-mail telling her that he has some marijuana in his car and wants to get together with her the following night to smoke it. Drake’s supervisor, Pierre, inadvertently intercepts the e-mail and immediately telephones the police.The police follow Drake home and stop him in front of his house. When the police officer approaches, Drake appears nervous and is sweaty and trembling. Drake refuses the police officer’s request for a pat down and a search of his vehicle. The officer then handcuffs Drake and places him in the back of the police car. The officer thoroughly searches Drake’s car, but cannot locate any marijuana. He then summons a drug-detection dog, which detects the smell of marijuana both on Drake’s person and in a secret compartment in his car.1. what legal and ethical violations did Drake’s supervisor commit, if any? Explain.2. if you were Drake’s attorney, what legal arguments would you make in defense of your client? what would be your arguments against the supervisor and the police officer?3. how should Save-Mart improve or change their company e-mail policy?

Consider the following supply and demand schedule for steel. Pd = 100 − 4Qd Ps = 9 + 3Qs a. Calculate the market equilibrium price and quantity for steel. (4pts) b. Pollution from steel production is estimated to create a external cost of $14 per ton. Show the demand and supply schedule graphically and identify the external cost curve, market equilibrium, deadweight loss, and social optimum quantity. (4pts) c. Assume there is no intervention in this market. Calculate consumer surplus and producer surplus. (4pts) d. Suppose the government is considering implementing a tax on steel production. If the government decides to implement a per-unit tax, what should it be? Why? (2pts) e. Assume the tax is put in place. Calculate the consumer surplu

b. Complete Table 1, assuming initially that the project has average risk. Then develop

        a new table which shows a sensitivity analysis of NPV to sales quantity, salvage

        value, and the cost of capital. Assume that each of these variable can deviate from

        its base case, or expected value, by plus or minus 10 percent, 20 percent, and 30

        percent. See Table 2 for partial results.

 c. sensitivity diagram and discuss the results.

   d. What are the primary weaknesses of sensitivity analysis? What are its primary

       advantages?

3. Complete the scenario analysis initiated in Table 3. What is the worst case NPV? The

    best-case NPV? Use the worst-case, most likely , and best-case NPVs, and their

    probabilities of occurrence, to find the project’s expected NPV, standard deviation,

    and coefficient of variation.

4. What are the primary advantages and disadvantages of scenario analysis?

6. a. Would the lite orange juice project be classified as high risk, average risk, or low

       risk by your analysis thus far? (Hint: Consider the project’s coefficient of variation

       of NPV.) What type of risk have you been measuring?

 b. What do you think the project’s corporate risk would be, and how could you

       measure it?

   c. How would it affect your risk assessment if you were told that the cash flows from

       this project were totally uncorrelated with Indian River’s other cash flows? What of
