“…Configuration theory explains organizational effectiveness by means of a variety of interrelated attributes of the organization [19]. “Configuration theory aims at capturing the complexity of organizations and to expose their inner coherent logic ([19]:68)”. Lamothe and Dufour [19] have dealt with the critics of simplistic reductionism in configuration theory by explaining that configuration theory is aimed at explaining the complexity and interdependency of organizational parts and attributes.…”

“…“Configuration theory aims at capturing the complexity of organizations and to expose their inner coherent logic ([19]:68)”. Lamothe and Dufour [19] have dealt with the critics of simplistic reductionism in configuration theory by explaining that configuration theory is aimed at explaining the complexity and interdependency of organizational parts and attributes. According to this theory, several combinations of attributes or configurations can exist, but some configurations will be more effective than others.…”

BackgroundHealth care networks are widely used and accepted as an organizational form that enables integrated care as well as dealing with complex matters in health care. However, research on the governance of health care networks lags behind. The research aim of our study is to explore the type and importance of governance structure and governance mechanisms for network effectiveness.MethodsThe study has a multiple case study design and covers 22 health care networks. Using a configuration view, combinations of network governance and other network characteristics were studied on the level of the network. Based on interview and questionnaire data, network characteristics were identified and patterns in the data looked for.ResultsNeither a dominant (or optimal) governance structure or mechanism nor a perfect fit among governance and other characteristics were revealed, but a number of characteristics that need further study might be related to effective networks such as the role of governmental agencies, legitimacy, and relational, hierarchical, and contractual governance mechanisms as complementary factors.ConclusionsAlthough the results emphasize the situational character of network governance and effectiveness, they give practitioners in the health care sector indications of which factors might be more or less crucial for network effectiveness.

“…Asimismo, sigue el enfoque de la Teoría de la Organización, en particular, el Enfoque de Contingencia (Mone, Mckinley y Barker, 1998) y la Teoría de las Configuraciones (Walker, 2008) ampliamente utilizada en la literatura sobre dirección estratégica (Miles, Snow, Meyer y Coleman, 1978;Bensaou y Venkatraman, 1995) para descubrir taxonomías de configuraciones (Lamothe y Dufour, 2007). En último lugar, desde la óptica de los enfoques teóricos de innovación, se integra en las Teorías Estructurales de la Organización, concretamente, en las Teorías Unidimensionales que desarrollan la relación entre las variables estructurales y la innovación, y en las Teorías de Alcance Medio de la Innovación que distinguen entre los tipos (Daft, 1978) y el carácter de innovación (Nord y Tucker, 1987).…”

Esta investigación persiguió dos objetivos: conocer la relación entre tres parámetros de diseño organizativo (centralización, formalización y preparación) y los tipos de innovación; y saber si existen configuracionesestructurales (arquetipos) en el sector de Economía Social, y en tal caso, determinar si diferentes configuraciones estructurales generan diferentes tipos de innovación. Para conseguir estos objetivos, se formularonseis hipótesis y se diseñó un modelo conceptual, utilizando el método inductivo a partir de varios análisis estadísticos (inferencias y análisis clúster) a una muestra de cooperativas y sociedades laborales en un límite territorial, Andalucía. Como resultado se identificó dos segmentos de empresas que innovan, probándose disparidad de clústers andaluces de Economía Social, y destacando el arquetipo de estructura orgánica y el alto número de innovaciones incrementales de proceso.

“…A related approach is to examine the links between ‘configurations’ of organizational characteristics and performance. To date, configuration theory has found only limited favour in the public administration literature (Lamothe and Dufour 2007; Walker 2008) and additional work might advance our knowledge in many ways.…”

The performance of public organizations is one of the key topics in public administration research and practice. This topic was examined at the ‘The Determinants of Performance in Public Organizations II’ conference held at the University of Hong Kong in December 2006. The conference was held in association with the Public Management Research Association. In the present symposium we introduce four of the articles presented at conference. The articles explore: network performance (Kenis and Provan), goal ambiguity (Lee et al.), environmental shocks (Meier and O’Toole), and diversity (Pitts and Jarry). Alongside this we spotlight the importance of this field and introduce three research themes—contingency theory, measurement and data, and analysis.
