However, while there is growing evidence on the extent of corporate capacity, few researchers have systematically examind whether it is linked to public service performance.  Does a larger corporate cente lead to better or worse performance for the organization as a whole?  To answer this question we apply seemingly unrelated regression to measures of effectiveness, cost-effectivness and equity in English local government.  We find that the effect of corporate capacity on performance is nonlnear, following an inverted u-shaped pattern, and that this positive effect turns negative around the mean for effectivness and cost-effectiveness, and above the mean for equity. The study  therefore suggests that senior mangers face important trade-offs between organizational goals when deciding on the appropriate level of corporate capacity. - Reproduced.  aCivil service  aBoyne, George  aPublic Administration  aN  a94183  c94183d94183  00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 89, Issue no: 3pAR94643r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
