Hill and Lynn outline the managerial challenges that lend themselves to their three-dimensional approach: Situations with widely dispersed information. Crisis scenarios. Transforming an organization. Responding to early warning. Creative problem solving. Managing people. (2009, 394-402) Students may identify a public management issue or challenge that fits one of these criteria or they may select another situation or challenge to analyze. The public management issue or challenge must be submitted to the instructor for approval by the second unit of class. Directions: After the public management issue or challenge has been identified, each student will write a 10 -12 page paper which includes: A comprehensive discussion of the public management issue or challenge. An explanation of how the issue or challenge can be analyzed and diagnosed from the three-dimensional perspective. Specifically, using Hills and Lynns model deliberative process, students should: 1) Analyze the facts of the situation from the perspective of each dimension (structural, cultural, and craft), and 2) Develop a strategy to address the issue or challenge, explaining which dimensions are emphasized (2009, 392-393). A discussion of how their selected reading (Bolman and Deal, Moore or Wilson) applies to the issue or challenge.
