| Internal Control Relations in Administrative Hierarchies | |
| Author(s): | Benjamin Walter |
| Abstract: | Observational techniques were used to trace and measure the transmission of influence in two municipal administrative hierarchies. Two hypotheses were tested. The first asserted that subordinates were relatively more influential than their superiors in the formulation and execution of novel decisions. This hypothesis was confirmed by observation. The second hypothesis claimed greater influence for organizational superiors in programmed decision making, but the observations did not support it. |
