“…As the prevailing modern organization theory, the contingency approach has enjoyed various positive evaluations, including its 1) conceptual framework for the systematic study of the organizational component, 2) bridging function between theory and practice, 3) basis for introducing changes, 4) wild applicability and 5) primary attention on problem-solving (Kast & Rosenzweig, 1972;Scott & Mitchell, 1972). It, of course, also has limitations such as 1) complexity caused by too many variables, 2) paucity of content flooded with situational theories, 3) difficulty for empirical testing through concrete research, and 4) failure to deal with proactive strategy due to its reactive nature (Scott & Mitchell, 1972;Mealiea & Lee, 1979;Lorsch, 1979;Wooton, 1977).…”

Previous studies have stated that PPPs often bring together organizations with strikingly different cultures and that cross-sectoral cooperation between the public and private sectors is complex and time-consuming. Especially in the developing countries, the increasingly dynamic environment faced by interdependent organizations in international PPPs also brings to light the inefficiencies and failures of the hierarchical model in dealing with complex and unstable environmental forces. Because bureaucratic models are of little use given the dynamic and uncertain environment of PPP implementation, new design concepts are imperative. Drawing upon the important concept mentioned by previous studies as an organization structure positioned in an environment that is both dynamic and complex, six types of coordinating mechanisms are worked out (against their antitypes which deter success) as the keys to support the operational success of international PPPs in developing countries. And further this article explains the rationale of my recommended design approaches through six PPPs case example, hoping to provide a feasible scheme for improving the quality of PPPs in developing countries.

Health maintenance organizations (HMO's) have been one of the major innovations in providing healthcare. However, as the HMO enjoyed success as an alternative delivery system, competition among individual HMO's intensified. As a result, the 1990's will require continued attention to the effective delivery of quality services to clients. Providers of healthcare services must work toward establishing a strong competitive position in the marketplace which means that they will have to understand how their customers perceive value in the services rendered. The authors examine exchange relationships that occur in the HMO and offer an approach for analyzing the dimensions of service quality demanded by the HMO's constituents. Practical ways to enhance service quality are discussed.

Sorumlu yazar ÖZÖrgütlere farklı açılardan bakmamızı sağlayan metaforlar, bizlere örgütleri yapı ve işleyiş bakımından derinlemesine inceleme fırsatı vermektedir. Bu bağlamda, örgütün doğasını açıklamada en yaygın kullanılan metaforlardan biri organizma metaforudur. Organizma metaforu ile örgütler organizmalara benzetilmektedir. Organizma metaforu örgütün tıpkı bir organizmada olduğu gibi doğumdan ölüme kadar geçen süreçte değişen çevresel koşullara nasıl uyum sağladığını anlamamıza katkı sağlamaktadır. Bu çalışmada, öncelikle organizma metaforu kapsamındaki yönetim kuramları incelenmiştir. Daha sonra organizma metaforunun güçlü ve zayıf yönleri ele alınarak bu metaforun eğitim örgütlerine yansıması tartışılmıştır. ABSTRACTMetaphors that enable us to look at the organizations from different angles give us an opportunity to explore in depth the structure and functioning of organizations. In this context, one of the most widely used metaphor for describing the nature of organization is the organism. With the organism metaphor, organizations are likened to organism. The organism metaphor contributes to our understanding of how the organization adapts to changing environmental conditions, from birth to death, just as it is in the organism. In this study, firstly the management theories within the scope of the organism metaphor have been examined. Subsequently, the reflection of this metaphor on education organizations has been discussed, taking into account the strengths and weaknesses of the organism metaphor.
