What do they mean for government in the future?

Each answer should be six to eight paragraphs in length. You can go beyond the assigned readings and refer to other journal articles or books. Each essay must be: coherent (contain an introduction, text, and conclusion), documented (make specific references to course information), and critical (do not merely repeat the material). Examination papers should be single-spaced,1-inch margin on all sides, and in 12-point font.

Please cite the sources of information you use. Please use the APA style for citations (if you do not have an APA style book, you can google it. There are many free online resources).

 

CHOOSE TWO FROM THE THREE BELOW

 

The exam consists of 2 questions. Below are 3 questions, from which you choose 2.
Please do not attempt to answer more than 2 questions—I will only evaluate the first 2
questions you answer.
1. Choose three motivation theories or models you have learned from this class.
Compare and contrast them. In particular, what are the strengths and weaknesses of
each theory or model? Which one you like the most? Why? Are these three theories
or models compatible? Can they be integrated? If yes, how?
2. The political model of decision making, especially the garbage can model, depicts
decisions as being made in a chaotic, random, and sometimes unpredictable manner.
Some people argue that such a model helps explain how decisions are made in a
political world, but it does not help public managers make better decisions in such a
context. Do you agree with them? Why or why not?
3. Social media, big data, and artificial intelligence are drastically changing the society
and our lives. What do they mean for government in the future? How will then
influence the way government should be run? How will then influence the leadership
competencies a public manager should have.
