ANSWER ALL THE QUESTIONS
QUESTION 1
Organisational change is inevitable, and whether public organisations like it or not, they
have no choice but to adapt appropriately to change. An effective public organisation is one
that is able to institute and manage successful change programmes, as part of improving the
manner in which services are provided. As a new graduate in public management what
organisational changes would you introduce and why?

QUESTION 2
Socio-economic exclusion is a violation of the fundamental human rights. Such an outcome
in any sovereign country implies that the process of service delivery tends to favour certain
individuals over others, thus excluding certain people on unconstitutional grounds. Write a
complaints letter to your representative organisation in which you outline forms of socio-
economic exclusion in your community, and the impact it has on the sovereignty of the
country and ultimate development.

QUESTION 3
Effective leadership in public organisations is amongst the critical issue in the realisation of
organisational policies and goals, yet it remains the most challenging to achieve. Often, it is
argued that it is weak leadership that has failed the progress and transformation of public
organisations in Namibia. Provide arguments in favour of the above view, using relevant
examples to support your arguments.
