In assigning an important role to middle management in the design and implementation of new work technologies, the lab program contrasts with more conventional approaches to change in which top management is dominant. This study examines the viability of the generative model that the lab program represents as a means of inducing agencies to employ postbureaucratic organizing principles. A conclusion is that although a variety of factors will affect the degree of success achieved, the model holds promise as a means of achieving strategic change in public organizations. - Reproduced  aOrganizational change  aAmerican Review of Public Administration  a44542  c44542d44542  00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 30, Issue no: 1pAR44953r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
