Summary:
A theorem of Burnside asserts that a finite group $G$ is \mbox {$p$-nilpotent} if for some prime $p$ a Sylow \mbox {$p$-subgroup} of $G$ lies in the center of its normalizer. In this paper, let $G$ be a finite group and $p$ the smallest prime divisor of $|G|$, the order of $G$. Let $P\in {\rm Syl}_p(G)$. As a generalization of Burnside's theorem, it is shown that if every non-cyclic \mbox {$p$-subgroup} of $G$ is self-normalizing or normal in $G$ then $G$ is solvable. In particular, if $P\ncong \langle a,b\vert a^{p^{n-1}}=1,b^2=1, b^{-1}ab=a^{1+{p^{n-2}}}\rangle $, where $n\geq 3$ for $p>2$ and $n\geq 4$ for $p=2$, then $G$ is \mbox {$p$-nilpotent} or \mbox {$p$-closed}.
