@doodlebeanmam i had this query in mind as how to adress this question ... like a generalised answer(like how taxes, revenue security, justice, policies, good governance are important in present times and a government at present cant be imagined without these features).... or I should stick to the kautilya saptaranga theory in particular..
we can write about the saptaranga theory as what administration was according to kautilya..about importance of
- king(prime minister),
2.minister (group of ministers, council of ministers),
3.territory (center n relation with states) ,
4.fort(internal security)
5.kosh (economy n finance)
6 army
7 allies (international relations etc)
ps: i am a novice and was unable and confused about framing the answer with the little knowledge i had so i asked it here and and thats really so generous of u to respond to my query.

Question 1.a) "The scope of the discipline of Public Administration is determined by what an administrative system does." Does it mean that the scope of this discipline is boundaryless? Explain
Answer) A wider meaning of public administration has sought to expand its ambit by including any administration that has considerable impact on public. Public administration is a means in which policy decisions made by political decision makers are carried out.
Public administration is decision making, planning the work to be done, forumulating objectives and goals, working with the legislature and citizen organizations to gain public support and funds for government programmme, establishing and revising organization, directing and supervising employees, providing leadership, communicating and receiving communication, determining work methods and procedures , appraising performance, exercising controls and other functions performed by government executives and supervisors. It is the action part of the government by which the purposes and goals of government are realised.
Public administration as-
- The basis of government- a government can exist without executive or judiciary but it can never exist without administration.
- an instrument for implementing policies- the basic service which is performed for the public
- an stabilizing force in society- it is often observed that though government changes violent change is seldom experienced by administration
- an instrument of social change and economic development
- good governance
- e-governance – some of the modernized features of public administration making things easily accessible to the citizens
- concept of participatory development
- performing various technical and specialized functions-
Public administration is determined by what an administrative system does, the basic functions of an administration is formulation, implementation and execution to meet the needs of public. Public administration is evolving , the burden of public duties on government has been steadily increasing a government that is accountable and responsive to the needs and expectation of its citizens. Being an action and executive field of government, public administration has never had a settled boundary the activities of a government has expanded and contracted on contextual circumstances.
@doodlebeanmam pardon me for asking this but I'm comfused as the question asks us aboutpublic administration disciplineis boudaryless...... which means 'public administration subject as a whole'' it could be anything as an activity or a discipline or whatever comes under the subject and not just public administration as a discipline.
as an activity it can boundaryless in different ways as to whatever is done for public by state comes under this every aspect of life is nowadays touched by pubad
as a discipline is just the study of subject in detail where it is boundaryless in different ways as the subject has many aspects and public administration can mould into pol science, economics, business, sociology. because of diverse nature of the subject.
like pub ad as political science for adressing political issues and bringing changes to the political administration
pub ad as sociology adressing sociological perspectives of society
pub ad as business...ppp model etc

plz review-
A1. “The field of Public Administration is a field of business.” Woodrow Wilson and other classical thinkers
do not make a
distinction between public administration and business
administration. They maintain the view that all
administration, whether public or business, is one and
possess the same basic features.
The specific similarities between public and business administration are -
(a) The managerial techniques and skills of planning,
organizing, coordinating, controlling, and so on are
same in both.
(b) Both have uniformity in accounting, filing, statistics,
stocking, and so on.
(c) Both are organized on the basis of principle of
hierarch, that is, scalar chain.
(d) Both are being influenced by the practices and
standards of each other. J. M. Pfiffner and
Robert Presthus have described the emergence of
public corporation as “a half way house between its
commercial prototype and the traditional
governmental department.”
(e) Both have similarities so far as the problems of
organisation, personnel and finance are concerned.
(f) The similarity between public administration and
business administration is demonstrated by the fact
that there is a mutual exchange and rotation of
personnel between the two disciplines.
However, in present times,Public administration differs from business administration
in the nature of the functions performed by it -
(a) It is more comprehensive than private administration,
that is, it covers a wider range of activities.
(b) Its activities are more urgent and vital for the very
existence of society.
(c) Its services, sometimes, tend to be monopolistic, for
example, defence.

aribam is a good book to begin with...
about prasad, i think, u can make a first reading of the whole book from cover to cover just to have an idea about theories and thinkers.
then in the second reading u can do it alongwith the syllabus.
for eg. first chapter ofsyllabushas wilson mentioned in it.
second chapter has some other thinkers.... do thinkers along with the other topics of syllabus to have a wholesome coverage of the syllabus chapterwise.
u can frame ur own strategy and read the books whichever way u want.... there is no hard and fast rule as which book to begin or end with
u can see the toppers blog and see how they did, below is the link
