Answer 2

Henri Fayol says that there is only one administrative science, which can be applied equally well to the public and private sectors.

• Following are the similarity between public and private administration.

1. Both public and business administration rely on common techniques relating to planning, organization, budgeting, delegation, control and the like. Both make use of common skills such as accounts keeping, maintaining files etc.
2. In modern times the principle of the profit motive is not particular to private administration. profit-making is now acceptable as a laudable objective for public sector industries too. Further, the business organization have also developed a sense of community service. They have also come to realize that they too have wider responsibilities in society.
3. In personnel management, private organizations have been influenced greatly by the practices of public organizations. In recent years public organizations have also attempted to adopt private business methods and practices. For example, the public corporations created to run the government-owned economic and commercial activities are largely modelled on private business concerns. They resemble private companies in nature.
4. In modern times private business concerns are also subjected to many legal constraints. The government is exercising much control over business firms through taxation, monitory and licensing policies. Consequently, they are not as free as they once used to be.
