  • New siding techniques for the manual phalanges

    Open AccessD Troy Case, J Heilman et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2006Cited by: 7References: 5

    The purpose of this study was to conduct a blind test of siding techniques for the 14 phalanges of the human hand. A list of possible siding techniques was initially developed using four loosely articulated hand skeletons from an anatomical supply company, was later refined using ten skeletons with individually labelled hand bones from the Terry Anatomical Collection, and then was ‘field tested’ on protohistoric Arikara skeletons from South Dakot…

  • Privatization of Wastewater Treatment Plants

    Open AccessCal Clark, John G Heilman et al.ARTICLEPublic Works Management & Policy1997References: 1

    Burgeoning budgetary pressures have created considerable interest for the privatization of public services. Privatization is usually justified in terms of the cost effectiveness that laissez-faire economics impose on the private sector. Yet, this model has come under challenge in the corporate world because businesses often must pursue other goals than just cost minimization, such as product quality, flexibility of production, and long-term allia…

  • Privatization

    Open AccessCal Clark, John G Heilman et al.ARTICLEReview of Policy Research1995References: 3

    The growing fiscal crisis confronting governments in the United States and elsewhere has generated increasing interest in the “privatization” of government functions by contracting out to private businesses. In essence, arguments contend that privatization saves money because the private sector is more efficient in minimizing costs than is the public sector due to the discipline of the market, or laissez‐faire economics. Ironically, this privatiz…

  • Water Policy Networks in the United States

    John G Heilman, Gerald W Johnson et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Politics1994Cited by: 1References: 10

    Evidence suggests that the US water sector is characterised by multiple arrays but not an overarching sector‐wide arrangement encompassing all the major decision‐making participants. The water policy field is marked by considerable fragmentation in structure, as well as by largely‐uncoordinated policy. Several forces ‐ including ‘metapolicy’ shifts, professionalism and alterations in professional dominance, and the tension between advocates of mo…

  • System and Process in Capital‐intensive Privatization

    Open AccessJohn G Heilman, Gerald W JohnsonARTICLEReview of Policy Research1989References: 15

    Capital‐intensive privatization (CIP) is an option for infrastructure project development. Advocates claim that CIP generates cost savings through efficiencies inherent in the coordinated design, construction, and operation of facilities. The present paper assesses these claims in the field of municipal wastewater treatment facilities (WIWs). It presents case‐study results and aggregate data on seven of the first privatized WIWs, and on seven com…

  • Metapolicy Transition and Policy Implementation

    Gerald W Johnson, John G HeilmanARTICLEPublic Administration Review1987References: 1

    Mandated local implementation of national policy poses a complex issue. What happens to the decisionmaking and implementation processes at the local level of government when broad change in policy direction occurs at the national level? The importance of this question depends on the extent to which local government officials are responsible for implementing policy which the national government has helped to form in some substantial way. Local gov…

  • On the Organizational Theory of Evaluation

    Open AccessJohn G Heilman, David L MartinARTICLEAdministration & Society1986References: 10

    This article uses Wamsley and Zald's discussion of the political economy of public organizations to develop categories of constraints on evaluation in bureaucratic settings. It argues that the relevant literature focuses largely on political factors, in part because this literature concentrates on the utilization of evaluation results. Interviews with federal administrators concerning the establishment of an evaluation unit are used to explore a …
