Explain New Public Management and Collaborative Public Management.

Week 3 – Assignment: Explain New Public Management and Collaborative Public Management
This assignment focuses on the new theories of public administration and organizational management that have emerged over the past 35 years – New Public Management (NPM) and Collaborative Public Management (CPM).

Complex responses to large or pervasive population issues often require inter-agency collaboration and cooperation to accomplish the objective. This type of response includes an inter-agency response to public health issues such as vaccination of large populations.

You are an emergency response clinical director within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) National Institute of Health (NIH). You are assigned to develop a “Memorandum of Agreement” (MOA) between your office at NIH and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The purpose of this memorandum is to establish a joint effort and collaboration between the two agencies to develop a jointly operated vaccination clinic to fight an epidemic that threatens to spread to other areas. Both agencies will share a single treatment clinic providing vaccinations to residents. The MOA defines the portion of the treatment center to be occupied by NIH and the portion of the treatment center to be occupied by CDD. The MOA also defines the roles and activities of both members of NIH and members of the CDC.

Ensure your MOA covers the following:
Specify the essential details of the mission of the clinic and the roles assigned to NIH and CDC.
Explain the length and terms of the agreement between NIH and CDC.
Determine the potential challenges and limitations associated with the joint clinic initiative.
Evaluate the existing management style of both NIH and CDC and describe what is needed to ensure the identified management styles can work together effectively.
After completing the contents of the MOA, compare the joint effort with the theories of New Public Management (NPM) and Collaborative Public Management (CPM. Analyze the relationship of the joint clinic to the two concepts and summarize your analysis.

Length: 5-7 pages, not including title and reference pages. MOA should be 4-5 pages and the comparison and analysis should be 1-2 pages.

Support your assignment with at least five scholarly resources. In addition to the specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources including seminal articles may be included.
The completed assignment should address all of the assignment requirements, exhibit evidence of concept knowledge, and demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the content presented in the course. The writing should integrate scholarly resources, reflect academic expectations and current APA standards, and adhere to the University’s Academic Integrity Policy.
