Distinction between Public and Business Administration:
As earlier observed, the ‘management’ euphoria at one stage led to a blurring of distinction between public and private administration.
The distinction between the public and the private sector is however, greatly influenced by the political philosphy of each nation. In the USA, for instance, the private sector plays a very important role in the American economy and society. The public sector is in many ways dependent on the private sector for the supply of goods and services. Hence, the tendency in that country is toward a blurring of lines rather than a distinct bifurcation of responsibilities. In India, by contrast, the public sector is slowly emerging as the dominant sector in the context of mixed economy. The steady expansion of the public sector in India, if it continues unabate, is expected to draw a sharper distinction between the public and private management.
