Organizational structure
• Stresses the extent and advantages of political pluralism
within public administration.
• Since the administrative branch is a policy-making center
of government, it must be structured to enable faction to
counteract faction.
• The structure comes to resemble political party platform
that promises something to almost everyone without
establishing clear priorities for resolving conflicts among
them.
• Agency becomes adversary of agency.
• The number of bureaus and agencies tends to grow over
time, partly in response to the political demands of
organized interests for representation.
