A Place at the Table
In November 2018, the University of Arizona’s School of Government and Public Policy hosted an international workshop on the role of organization theory in public management. The intention was to renew interest in organization theory in public management research. Scholars such as Herbert Simon, Herbert Kaufman, and Richard Selznick made seminal contributions to organization theory through the study of public organizations from the 1940s through …
Minority-White income inequality across metropolitan areas
Racial/ethnic inequality is a common feature of urban life. This paper attempts to identify spatial structures that contribute to disparities in White and minority incomes. In a study of 49 core based statistical areas (CBSAs) in the U.S., we analyze 2016 data on racial/ethnic income inequality, 2010 data on minority-White segregation, and 2014 data on job accessibility through transit, driving and pedestrian transportation networks. We find that…

Studying the Roles of Nonprofits, Government, and Business in Providing Activities and Services to Youth in the Phoenix Metropolitan Area
The article addresses the questions, What do children in urban areas do on Saturdays? What types of organizational resources do they have access to? Does this vary by social class? Using diary data on children's activities on Saturdays in the Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale metropolitan area, the authors describe the different types of venues (households, businesses, public space, associations, charities, congregations, and government/tribal agencies) th…

Caregivers' Social Capital and Satisfaction with Their Children's Service Providers
The authors examine children's access to and caregiver's satisfaction with organizations that provide leisure time activities for children on Saturdays. The authors argue that access and satisfaction are a function of families' financial, cultural, and social capital. Using data on 1,036 households in the Phoenix metropolitan area in 2003-04, the authors found that families' financial and cultural capital affected whether or not children particip…
The Practices of Economic Competition on Markets of Consumer Goods of Contemporary Russia
Occupation, Class, and Social Networks in Urban China
China's class structure is changing dramatically in the wake of post-1978 market-oriented economic reforms. The creation of a mixed “market-socialist” economy has eroded the institutional bases of a cadre-dominated social hierarchy and created conditions for a new pattern of social stratification. Although conditions remain dynamic, results of a 1998 urban survey that measured strength and diversity of social ties among 400 households in four of …
Structural embeddedness and the liability of newness among nonprofit organizations
Ecological studies have consistently reported that younger organizations are more likely to close or disband than older organizations. This article uses neo-institutional theory and social capital theory to explore this finding. We derive hypotheses from these perspectives and test them on a panel of nonprofit organizations in Minneapolis-St Paul (USA) using event history analysis. We find that larger organizations and organizations more dependen…
Does Government Funding Suppress Nonprofits' Political Activity
Autonomy from the state has been considered a core feature of American civil society, and understanding the consequences of perceived threats to that autonomy has been a central theme in social and political theory. We engage this theme by examining a specific question: What is the effect of government funding on nonprofit organizations' political activity? Extant theory and research identify some mechanisms by which government funding might redu…

Money for Change
Social Network Analysis
Tales From the Grave
Competing theories of organizational behavior offer a variety of reasons why organizations cease to exist. Some reasons are internal to the organization, such as losing control over financial matters and being unable to routinize procedures. Other reasons are environmental, such as changing market conditions, lacking social capital, outside regulation, and not being perceived as legitimate by external power holders. The authors interviewed repres…

Networks of Interorganizational Relations
Network analysis has been used extensively in the study of interorganizational relations. This article reviews the literature over the past fifteen years and organizes it into three theoretical traditions: the resource dependence model, the social class framework, and the institutional model. It is shown that network methods have enabled researchers to describe phenomena, such as interorganizational fields, that were previously inaccessible. It i…
Social Network Analysis
Network analysis has been used extensively in sociology over the last twenty years. This special issue of Sociological Methods & Research reviews the substantive contributions that network analysis has made to five areas: political sociology, interorganizational relations, social support, social influence, and epidemiology. To introduce the novice to current developments in the field, this introductory article presents an overview of the key conc…

Professional Networks and the Institutionalization of a Single Mind Set
The personal networks and the attitudes toward clients of a unique set of bureaucratic professionals-corporate giving officers-are examined. Motivated by the finding that the corporate support of a nonprofit is a function of a firm's reputation among contributions professionals (Galaskiewicz, 1985), this paper examines the structure of these professionals' networks and tests to see if proximity results in two giving officers recognizing andlor th…

Community-Elite Influence Structures
The conception of community leadership structure as a regularized pattern of communication and exchange of information pertinent to community affairs among members of a community elite, proposed by Laumann and Pappi (1973-1976), is extended in several related direcions. First, the network of regularized communication contact is related to issue-specific discussion patterns and to outcome preference and activation on specific issues. Our anlysis i…
A Dynamic Study of Change in a Regional Corporate Network
We adapt a class of new stochastic models for social networks to the study of social change in corporate interlock networks. Data on a regional (Minnesota) network are used to verify several descriptive hypotheses drawn from the existing literature concerning interlocking directorates. We conclude that corporations are more likely to make reciprocal board linkages asymmetric than they are to reciprocate asymmetric ties, popular firms are just as …

Correspondence and canonical analysis of relational data
Correspondence analysis, a data analytic technique used to study two‐way cross‐classifications, is applied to social relational data. Such data are frequently termed “sociometric” or “network” data. The method allows one to model forms of relational data and types of empirical relationships not easily analyzed using either standard social network methods or common scaling or clustering techniques. In particular, correspondence analysis allows one…
The Structure of Community Organizational Networks
Organizational networks in a medium-size midwestern community are examined. Smallest space analysis is used to describe the money, information, and support flows among a wide range of formal organizations. Actors central to these networks are described in detail, and path analysis is used to examine the relationships between organizations' resources, interests, centrality, and influence in community affairs. Organizations which control the most f…

The Influence of Corporate Power, Social Status, and Market Position on Corporate Interlocks in a Regional Network
The paper seeks to identify the criteria which companies use to select board members and which firms use to select the outside boards they sit on. Hypotheses were drawn from theories which view corporate interlocks as a strategy of market cooptation and from theories which argue that board interlocks are based on the prestige of CEOs or the prestige of companies. These hypotheses were tested on a population of 116 manufacturing corporations in a …

Interest Group Politics From a Comparative Perspective
Two models of interest group behavior are outlined and discussed. The cooptation model finds organized interest groups establishing informal contacts with city officials and achieving political favors through these informal channels. The petition model finds interest groups confronting public officials in the public arena securing favors from city government by threatening to use their resources to build oppositional coalitions. Our goal was to s…

Machine Politics in Transition
Since 1932 elections and decision making in Chicago have been dominated by the Regular Democratic Organization of Cook County, led for a quarter of a century by the late Mayor Richard J. Daley. The extraordinary longevity of this Democratic machine provides the basis for this penetrating investigation into the nature of machine politics and grassroots party organization. For three years, Thomas M. Guterbock participated in the daily activities of…

Why Charity? The Case for a Third Sector
Douglas shows how such institutions as universities, charities, trade unions, and religious missions are a logical outcome of the limitations of both market economics and democratic politics. They form a Third Sector that is neither commercial, nor governmental, that acts to ameliorate the imbalances caused by both the ballot box and the marketplace -- the two main ways by which Western societies order priorities. Douglas draws on the law of char…
