This involvement
undermines the legitimate role of NSOs in
supervising the sport concerned and forces
them to operate in a larger system of relations,
which produces external control and
uncertainty. In this larger system, as Scott
and Meyer (1991: 139) point out, institutional
processes usually dominate over technical
arrangements and result in ‘. . . more elaborated
and extensive control systems and, in
consequence, more complex administrative
components in the constituent organisational
units’.
