Growth of the Bureaucracy and Parkinson’s Law
Read the article Parkinson’s Law by C. Northcote Partkinson, “The Economist” (also in Course Documents) http://www.economist.com/node/14116121
Review the following sources of information on various U.S. government bureaucracies and choose one area that particularly interests you ie: education, health and human services, welfare policy, etc.
- For reports on cabinet departments: www.whitehouse.gov/
- For documents and bulletin boards: www.fedworld.gov
- National Performance Review: www.npr.gov
- Federal Agencies:
- - Department of Defense www.defenselink.mil
  - Department of Education www.ed.gov
  - Department of Health and Human Services www.dhhs.gov
  - Department of State www.state.gov
  - Federal Bureau of Investigation www.fbi.gov
  - Department of Labor www.dol.gov
Write a one page response on the validity of Parkinson’s Law as it may or may not apply to the particular area you choose for this response. Is it a viable theory to explain the growth of bureaucracy?
