Globalization and Public Administration

Future of public administration given globalization trends
The field of public administration is reliant on globalization to obtain up-to-date information on the issues surrounding daily work performances. This aspect sets in the perspective of efficiency and accuracy in decision making with a more sure measure to attain a specified goal. The fields of public relation in the future will a higher level of efficiency in targeting the decision. These decisions will continuously deviate from trial and error measure to articulate ideal standards of taking decisions. Communication in the public administration will in the future disengage in traditional mode of decision taking and engage the value of interaction. This adoption will strengthen the systems of public relation and add value to the authority a public administrator has in the organization.
My career in public administration is expected to drop the high held values and cultural norms within my country, community and organization. The value of the globe will have a significant role to play in influencing how I undertake my duties in the career. This will call for a deeper understanding and interrogation of the global culture and an incorporation of the global culture in duty performance. The capacity technology advancement offers is not negligible given the magnitude it carries to influence the interpersonal and international relations (Benhardt, 2010) With this perspective in mind in my career as a public administrator I will in future need to increase my capacity of accommodating larger volumes in knowledge. This will mean that public administrator will have to restructure the way we attend to issues in order to incorporate the global culture in line with targeted administrative roles.
Change in point-of-View
The role of a public administrator does not terminate at attending those obligations directly relating to or affecting an institution....
With the advent of globalization the use of the term public has grown to incorporate more than the physically feasible regions and areas. The globe and the connectedness of institution through technology has necessitated that corporation integrate globally. This aspect reflects the high value of the career as a public administrator. As far as this aspect is concerned my perspective as a public administrator to incorporate the need to understand more than just the cultures within one own organization.
Information gathering and dissemination through the ever growing globalization measures presents a challenge to how I can administrate. This is a conceptualization that previously eluded me owing to the constrained view of scope of the public administration role. In as much as the public administration duties are impacted to the domestic arena, the understanding of the matter in a global perspective helps come up with more appropriate decision.
The understanding and integration of a global perspective alienates misgivings where decisions that impact on people's lives are concerned. The thought of public relation and the heavy task it holds in administration of information does not necessarily transcend organization responsibility. In many cases public administration proves a platform for flow of knowledge requiring the attention of concerned individual. The results of the incident of communication cannot be placed at the hands of the public administration (Jonathan, 2009).
Role of union in modern work place
Union can help to articulate the views and ideas of the workforce to improve working practices and workplace performance. This can result in raised employee motivation and productivity, leading in turn to reduced staff turnover, lower recruitment costs and a loss of skills. Union Learning Representatives can start employee training programs this will help employees enhance their work capabilities and, in some cases, to overcome a lack of basic literacy and numeracy skills. Environmental representatives can work with the…

In the 1990s, once globalization had momentum and it was obvious to many observers that "decent work" wasn't the end all in terms of solutions, Munck continues. Is "decent work" just a "backward-looking utopianism" as Waterman (2008) insisted it is? Yes, Munck agrees it is a bit utopian, because its promise is based on "the myth of a golden era of social harmony" and yet, a "decent work" movement could
Globalization arguably began even before Marco Polo’s expeditions, possibly being traceable to Alexander the Great’s establishment of overland routes between Eastern Europe and India. The assumption that globalization equals Americanization is profoundly arrogant, and is also ignorant of the history, meaning, and implications of globalization. Globalization implies integration and interdependence of the world. Predating the United States of America, globalization nevertheless reached a peak in the 20th century, when a
That said, Goodhart believes that global governance, if pushed too far into sovereign nations' doings, can in fact undermine popular sovereignty as "a viable conception of democracy" but it is not doing that and in fact, in a globalized world that is increasingly interdependence needs a new kind of democracy. The new sovereigntists' views are normative while Goodhart's are more along the lines o positivism. Basically, Goodhart argues that
Globalization has become a ubiquitously word in the last few decades. Much of the globalization trend is driven by the fact that many organizations operate internationally and supply chains have become sophisticated, complex, and spans the entire globe. As a result of globalization, many organizations have tried to proactively create a level of homogenization and standardization internationally of markets, resources, and labor. When international companies can have access to foreign

The global "mindset" that companies must have is defined as "…the ability to develop and interpret criteria for business performance" that are not relying on the "assumptions of a single country, culture or context to implement those criteria appropriately…" (Begley, et al., 2003). Begley and colleagues insist that the "truly globalized corporation" sees globalization as more of a "mind-set" than a "structure" per se (p. 1). The three mind-sets that
