Marasmus or Recovery? The Effects of Cutbacks in Federal Agencies.
Rubin, Irene S.
Social Science Quarterly, v65 n1 p74-88 Mar 1984
Based on case study data from five federal agencies, a tentative theoretical model of the life cycle of federal agencies is presented. It is concluded that for most agencies, decline, once begun, will be continuous, but for a few the hope of congressional rescue may provide motivation for improved management. (Author/RM)
