Who defined Development Administration as 'an action-oriented, goal-oriented administration system' ?
Answer: D
The definition is Edward Weidner's.
Edward W. Weidner, who coined and popularised the term development administration, defined it as an action-oriented, goal-oriented administrative system: administration directed at achieving progressive political, economic and social objectives, rather than at maintaining order and collecting revenue.
John D. Montgomery described development administration as carrying out planned change in the economy and social services, Albert Waterston wrote on development planning, and Irving Swerdlow on administration in poor countries, where government has to take a larger developmental role. The quoted phrase is Weidner's.
