Relating the Central and the Local

Abstract

Although a number of valuable models of central-local relationships in the nonprofit sector have been developed, particularly in relation to federal structures, there has been a tendency to assume that in any given organizational relations hip central- local structures will follow one common pattern. We argue that wider strategies are available: central dependency along one dimension may run with greater local autonomy along another such mixed tight-loose structures may be of considerable importance in the "boundary less" organizational environment of the future.
