Summary
"...Brings together diverse viewpoints on the importance of organization and reorganization in the contemporary structure of the American federal government. Through a range of conceptual articles, [this book] explores why reorganization and variance in the structure of government continue to happen, allowing the reader to understand the multiple and often conflicting goals involved in changing organizational structure. The text highlights two contrasting approaches to reorganization: a management approach and a policy approach." --From back cover.
