    the role that political influence plays in the internal decision-making of a public organization

     

    For this assessment, you will reflect on the role that political influence plays in the internal decision-making of a public organization. Read the Columbia Accident case study and materials attached.
    Consider the questions that Stillman poses at the end of the case study:
    • How did the political environment influence the decision to launch the space shuttle Columbia? Who was involved and who was not?
    • What were the sources of the political pressure? Their points of view?
    • Who was the most responsible for the decision to launch the shuttle? How can one determine "responsible" or "irresponsible" use of administrative power? And ensure its "responsible" use?
    • List the reasons why the "political dimensions" are repeatedly overlooked or ignored? (Stillman, 2005, p. 122)
    • Finally, analyze how the unified ethic might speak to this situation.
    Written Communication: Written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message

    APA formatting: Include a minimum of five resources along with in-text citations formatted according to APA sixth edition style and formatting guidelines.

    Length of paper: 5-7 double-spaced pages.
