Synopsis

The policy organization is the organization change (for example modifications, reallocations, and new activities) implied by a change in policy. The authors use this concept to study the process of policy implementation in organizations. They pay particular attention to policy communication: the ways in which information moves from researcher to manager. Using a case study of policy change in the California educational system, they consider organization goals, members, environment, structure, resources, tasks, decision-making and policy communication.

`Connecting the concepts of policy analysis, organizational structure, and communication behavior in a fresh way, the authors provide a timely, stimulating resource for policymakers, managers, analysts, teachers and students.′ -- Institute for Research on Educational Finance and Governance, December 1983

`...the book is a laudable attempt at identifying the care of policy making processes in organisations.′ -- Business Standard, Nov 1984
