“…For instance, Manning's description of police organizations' joint tasks of filtering and responding to emergency calls exemplifies the simultaneous enactment of tight and loose coupling practices in the face of a high volume of incoming calls [24]. Similarly, Covaleski and Dirsmith's study of how effective nurse administrators alternately adopt "budget masks" to communicate with hospital administrators and "clan masks" to communicate with nurses demonstrates a form of loose coupling between hierarchical levels that helps nurses to negotiate the impact of cost controls [25]. We agree that the flexibility afforded by loose coupling seems to be important, as it allows members in the care constellation to increase autonomy or responsiveness strategically, in ways that help them to achieve goals.…”

“…Theories of loose coupling have seen most use in educational environments [18], but they have also been applied in research settings as diverse as law enforcement [24] and nursing [25]. Our interpretation of loose coupling follows the reconceptualization offered by Orton and Weick [26], who argue against simple descriptions of organizational systems as either tightly coupled systems that are "determinate, closed systems searching for certainty" or decoupled systems that are "indeterminate open systems expecting uncertainty" (p. 204).…”

“…Ce qui nous intéresse ici, c'est de nous placer principalement non plus du point de vue des collectivités, mais de celui des associations et de voir comment ces dernières utilisent l'un des instruments de ce contrôle, le budget. L'examen de la littérature sur les budgets souligne les multiples modes d'utilisation du budget, au sein desquels l'on observe notamment une double dimension, politique et instrumentale, de ce système de contrôle (Burchell et al, 1980 ;Covaleski et Dirsmith, 1983, 1986Berland, 1999 ;Sponem, 2004 ;Amans et Villesèque-Dubus, 2008…). Dans le cas des associations du spectacle vivant, du fait des spécificités de ces dernières, le budget serait un outil avant tout politique, contrairement à son mode de fonctionnement dans les entreprises.…”

“…Ainsi, nombre de définitions du budget associent, à côté des rôles instrumentaux de l'outil, des fonctions que les auteurs présentent comme davantage stratégiques, coordinatrices, de communication (Bouquin, 1998), d'animation et psychosociologiques (Gervais, 1997), humaines (GignonMarconnet, 2003), interactives (Simons, 1990(Simons, , 1995, légitimatrices et politiques (Burchell et al, 1980 ;Covaleski et Dirsmith, 1983, 1986. Cette section n'a pas vocation à proposer une synthèse de la littérature balayant l'ensemble des fonctions possibles du budget, mais à apporter un éclairage théorique sur deux grandes familles de fonctions du budget, particulièrement intéressantes dans le type d'organisations étudiées compte tenu des spécificités de ces dernières.…”
