Of the three distinctions made by Simon between Public and Private Administration, which one of the following is not among them ?

  • A.That public administration aims at social welfare, while private administration is profit oriented.
  • B.That public administration is bureaucratic, while private administration is business like.
  • C.That public administration is political whereas private administration is non-political.
  • D.That public administrtion is characterized by red tape from which private administration is free.

Answer: A

The first statement, that public administration aims at social welfare while private administration is profit oriented, is not one of the three distinctions made by Simon.

Simon summarised the popular distinctions as: public administration is bureaucratic while private administration is business like, public administration is political while private administration is non-political, and public administration is characterised by red tape from which private administration is free. The contrast of welfare and profit is a commonly given difference in textbooks, but it is not among those three, and so it is the answer.
