To that end you are to write an original literature review on a public management theory, the theories main scholar(s) and how that theory explains some aspect of organizational behavior. You should use the theory to inform the organizational behavior of the organization where you currently or previously have worked or volunteered or any other organization you would like to research or how this theory has informed a public administration policy or program.

The final paper should be well-reasoned, present evidence (means well researched), be well-organized (means structured), and substantive (means you have something significant to say from a scholarly viewpoint). Papers will be graded based on:

2. The degree to which you integrate materials and concepts from the course texts and lectures
3. The depth of the evaluation of the theory being studied and its application to explaining organizational behavior or the implementation of a program or policy
4. 10 to 15 double-spaced pages excluding cover page and references, 12 pt font, 1 inch margins, Times New Roman, APA style
