Social Responses to Large Technical Systems
High Reliability Organizations
The HRO project is cast within a broader socio‐political context, by first, reviewing its practical origins, its conceptual/logical framework, and a summary of the project's provisional findings, including a brief observation about the importance of a ‘culture of reliability.’Then some socio/political implications for HROs are explored as they assume the status of large technical systems (LTSs) and become quasi‐public institutions. This paper end…
Hazards and Institutional Trustworthiness
We live in a time when institutions of all kinds are instruments of great power and are often the objects of deep suspicion. Not surprisingly, scholars and political commentators have noted that the public increasingly distrusts many of organizations. Indeed, for some of them, the crisis of trust is especially acute, coloring and constraining virtually all their actions and choices. How might they respond not only to maintain but also to enhance …
Shifting Vantage and Conceptual Puzzles in Understanding Public Organization Networks1
Practitioners and students of public organizations experience and observe network phenomena at a quickening pace in a wide variety of policy domains. These phenomena appear to be sufficiently complex to raise questions about the adequacy of conceptual formulations of organizational and management relations rooted mainly in organization centric assumptions adequate as a basis for the understanding of this evolution. This article explores the impli…
Regulatory Compliance and the Ethos of Quality Enhancement
The relationship of regulatees to regulators is expected to be characterized predominantly by either efforts to co-opt, to resist, or to comply minimally. The object of regulatees, it is assumed, is to reduce the strictures of regulatory constraints. This research monograph reports an unexpected relationship in which regulatory constraints have become incorporated within a broader ethos of quality enhancement and regulatee self-imposed processes …

Managing nuclear waste
The Context of Technology Assessment
OFFICIALS, our nation has developed an enormous enthusiasm for the use of scientific technologies in the solution to public problems. We implicitly turn to the fix as a solution to many social and economic problems. Recently this enthusiasm has been focused upon our urban scene in a seeming desperate hope that technology can somehow help us break out of the apparent pathway to social disaster we amble along. With less hope, I suspect the converts…
Functional Contributions of Bootlegging and Entrepreneurship in Research Organizations
One of the central concerns in modern social science is the examination of conditions under which various types of social systems maintain their existence. As industrialized society developed, the complex formal organization emerged as a pervasive and important type of social system whose maintenance has been widely studied. The development of complex organizations was paralleled by a more recent characteristic of modern society, the rapid profes…
