The Responsible Administrator: An Approach To Ethics For The Administrative Role

Praise for the Fifth Edition of The Responsible Administrator "Cooper's fifth edition is the definitive text for students and practitioners who want to have a successful administrative career. Moral reasoning, as Cooper so adeptly points out, is essential in today's rapidly changing and complex global environment."—Donald C. Menzel, president, American Society for Public Administration, and professor emeritus, public administration, Northern Illinois University "The Responsible Administrator is at once the most sophisticated and the most practical book available on public sector ethics. It is conceptually clear and jargon-free, which is extraordinary among books on administrative ethics."—H. George Frederickson, Stone Distinguished Professor of Public Administration, University of Kansas "Remarkably effective in linking the science of what should be done with a prescriptive for how to actually do it, the fifth edition of Cooper's book keeps pace with the dynamic changes in the field, both for those who study it and those who practice it. The information presented in these pages can be found nowhere else, and it is information we cannot ethically afford to ignore."—Carole L. Jurkiewicz, John W. Dupuy Endowed Professor, and Woman's Hospital Distinguished Professor of Healthcare Management, Louisiana State University, E. J. Ourso College of Business Administration, Public Administration Institute

This is typically a dry subject, however the author has done much to bring the subject to life, using real life examples and developing active models for implementation. I was pleasantly surprised because I had foreseen endless nights of poring over typical academic drivel, yet this text was well developed, researched and presented. For anyone interested in public policy administration this book lays out and establishes the ethical responsibilities related to the hierarchy of the public administrator. This is one of the best texts I have read on the subject to date.Copper treats ethical norms and structures and ethical autonomy within organizations with skill and knowledgeable insight.

I used this text for an Ethics and social Justice class. I truly appreciated the author's ethical decision-making model. I have used this model several times when a challenging issue arose. It is a must read for all leaders especially those in public policy and non-profits.

Genarlly, this book gives you some idea about moral, ethics, principle, ethics code, and prohibited activities as bribes. I found the cases in the book are associated with subjects very well. I suggest this book for any administrators who serve in public and non profit affairs.

Very thought provoking text on ethics and public policy. This is a good book to look at some of the key ethical issues in the U.S. It is interesting to consider these past events in light of current issues in public agencies and law enforcement.

Used this book for a public administrative ethics course. The book incorporates many of the key public administrative theories and frameworks in a modified applied context. It emphasizes a context-specific design approach to decision-making. Contains very useful application-oriented content.

Provides a good framework for dealing with a variety of ethical issues. I will use this going forward and will use it to train my staff as part of their professional development.

Item was received so quickly and works perfectly fine. I recommend everyone to buy from this seller whenever they need a product like this. Thank you very much!!

It seemed like Cooper constantly repeated himself which made this a difficult read. The language was easy to understand however.
