Diversity Management Programs: California Local Governments’ Approach To Achieving Representative Bureaucracy, Adrian Cudal
Master's Projects
Attaining representativeness in a bureaucracy, or the ability for a public organization to mirror the diversity of its constituents, is argued to be a key element to effective and efficient governance.

This research project analyzes …

Ability Of Bay Area Cities To Accommodate Plug-In Electric Vehicles: A Process Evaluation, Chi-Pei Fang
Master's Projects
Numerous studies have mentioned that there are lots of factors that may affect electric vehicle adoption, including residents’ income, manufactures’ behavior, mass transportation system, and so on (Larson et al., 2014; Majumdar, 2005; Millard-Ball, 2012; Azevedo et al., 2017; Liao, 2018).

In recent years, several studies have started to pay more attention to a city's role in electric vehicle adoption (Baker et al., 2012; …
