Comparative administrative studies are basically :

  • A.Organizational
  • B.Functional
  • C.Structural
  • D.Cross-cultural

Answer: D

Comparative administrative studies are basically cross-cultural.

Comparative Public Administration studies administrative systems across countries and cultures, to discover what is general and what is particular to each setting. Its pioneers, Fred Riggs among them, argued that administration cannot be understood apart from its environment (the ecological approach), so comparison across cultures is its defining method and purpose.

Organisational, functional and structural analysis are tools that comparative studies may use, but they are not what makes the field comparative. A study of one country's organisations or structures is not comparative at all; comparing across cultures is.
