B. Organizational Elite--Chapter 4 of Modern Org (Farazmand) on Organizational Elite Theory has a lot of implications for public administrators, managers, politicians, and citizens.
Organizational elite theory (OE) has captured attention in politics as well as organizational behavior and public management.
Explain what is meant by OE, and how it operates in public organizations.
Identify the three levels of organizational elites, say at FAU system, and identify the ruling elites in south Florida--who constitutes Right Mills' ruling elite, or at the national level, who are some of the most powerful national elite families/names?
What does elite theory tell us about public organizations, public administration, and policy?
Explain what is meant by Invisibility Shielding? What is meant by Interlocking directorates?, Inner Circle elites?
What does all these tell you about managing public organizations? Individual employees' rights and performance?
How would you manage an organization with the best and the brightest you have selected, only to see the OEs want something else?
