Correct answer: (C) 1, 3 & 4 — Appleby, Simon and Sir Josiah Stamp draw the distinction, so the answer is 1, 3 and 4.
Explanation
★Appleby, Simon and Sir Josiah Stamp draw the distinction, so the answer is 1, 3 and 4.
★Paul Appleby argued that government is different, marked by political character, breadth of scope and public accountability.
★Herbert Simon contrasted public and private bodies on political control, red tape and flexibility.
★Sir Josiah Stamp listed principles such as uniformity, external financial control, service motive and public accountability.
★These thinkers therefore reject the classical idea that public and private administration are essentially the same.
★L. D. White belonged to the integral managerial view and did not stress this separation, so he is excluded.
★Hence the correct combination is Appleby, Simon and Stamp, that is 1, 3 and 4.
