Abstract

"The basic function of administration appears to be co-alignment, not merely of people in coalitions but of institutionalized action --- of technology and task environment into a viable domain, and of organizational design and structure appropriate to it. Administration, when it works well, keeps the organization at the nexus of several necessary streams of action" [13].
