REGO, organizational architecture, and reality - 1997 - p.113-38 - Jan

This paper assesses the move to "reinvent government" in terms of the organizational architecture of government. In addition to usual elements that are included in the architecture of organizations, governmental agencies involve the elements of trust, equity, accountability and representativeness. These elements, which are fundamental to government, complicate the more usual architectural components of structure, culture, innovation and flexibility that are invoked by "reinvention" strategies. The paper gives REGO a guarded prognosis in terms of its full implementation. - Reproduced
