Which of the following are the foci areas of research in Comparative Public Administration as identified by Ferrel Heady ?
(i) Component approach
(ii) Modified traditional approach
(iii) Development system model
(iv) General system model
(v) Middle range theory
Select the correct answer by using codes given below :
Answer: B
The foci of research in comparative public administration identified by Ferrel Heady are the modified traditional approach, the development system model, the general system model and middle-range theory, so the answer is (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), option B.
Heady described the field as moving away from the older, purely descriptive study of government institutions towards the study of development, towards the use of general systems ideas, and towards theories of the middle range, which lie between a single case study and a general theory.
The key does not include 'component approach' (i), which is why options A, C and D, each of which includes it, are wrong.
