"Differentiation and integration are two key elements in the process of development" is the assumption of :

  • A.Classical theory
  • B.Neo-classical theory
  • C.Ecological theory
  • D.Incremental theory

Answer: C

It is the assumption of ecological theory.

The ecological approach of F.W. Riggs studies administration in its social setting. In it, development means growing differentiation, the separation of specialised structures for specialised functions, matched by integration, the ability to co-ordinate those structures. A society that differentiates without integrating becomes prismatic, which is why both elements are treated as the key to development.

Classical theory is about principles of formal organisation, neo-classical theory about human relations within the organisation, and incremental theory, Lindblom's, about how policy is made by small steps. None of them builds development out of differentiation and integration.
