Practice question · Put in order
Arrange these stages of the reform sequence in order.
- Functions are disaggregated into agencies and contracted providers
- Networks are described as governing without government
- The resulting landscape proves hard to coordinate
- Functions are reintegrated around client needs using digital systems
- Classical bureaucratic administration comes under attack from several directions
Hints
- The sequence is a chain of reactions rather than a plan.
- Reintegration answers the coordination problem that disaggregation created.
Show the answer
- Classical bureaucratic administration comes under attack from several directions
- Functions are disaggregated into agencies and contracted providers
- The resulting landscape proves hard to coordinate
- Networks are described as governing without government
- Functions are reintegrated around client needs using digital systems
Why
Each stage is a response to the problems the previous one created, which is why the sequence looks so much like a pendulum. The important qualification is that the stages accumulated rather than replaced one another.
