MGMT 308 Module 8 End of Module Review

Respond to the following:

1.	Assess the steps taken toward the direction of deregulation of various enterprises. In your judgment, are these appropriate steps? Should regulators be “reined in” by the national government in other instances? By what standards should decisions be made—and by whom?
2.	Is cost-benefit analysis appropriate as a basis for regulatory policy decisions? (In your answer, deal with the values underlying both the cost-benefit approach and your own view of its appropriateness.)
3.	What values other than strictly monetary costs and benefits might be employed as a basis for establishing and evaluating regulatory policy?
4.	Discuss the role of the courts in effectively monitoring the activities of administrative agencies. How have judicial interpretations changed the basic concept of bureaucratic autonomy and discretionary authority?
5.	Do you believe that overall government regulation serves useful purposes? Why or why not? If yes, what purposes does it serve? Discuss.
