Historically, bureaucracies have used crisis, rational, and/or shared incremental designs for problem solving. Drawing on the work of Jun and others, write an essay that addresses the questions below.

Remember to apply your theoretical arguments to the practice of public administration, drawing on your professional experiences, and utilizing related examples and illustrations (including from health care, if that is your option) to support your response. For this essay, draw on the Jun text and other related publications to support your response.

Part One: What, in your view, are some problems associated with each of these three designs? Provide two (2) examples of how social design, as advocated by Jun, alleviates problems with crisis, rational, and/or shared incremental designs.

Part Two: What are two (2) limitations of the social design approach? How do these limitations pose a challenge to agencies implementing this administrative design?

Part Three: How can we come to a common understanding of reality, which includes a shared view of the problem?

PLO Rubric: Participate in and contribute to the policy process.
