提出一个整合适应与相互选择视角的组织回应监管理论,以医院行业的许可证需求和费率审查为例,推导医院在内部安排和外部活动上的调整假设,并给出检验建议。
This paper presents a general theory of organizational response to regulation, a theory that integrates adaptation and mutual selection perspectives. Two major forms of regulation in the hospital industry, certificate of need and rate review, are examined. Hypotheses are derived concerning the nature and timing of the various adjustments hospitals make both in internal organizational arrangements and in patterns of interorganizational activity in the face of regulatory constraints. Suggestions and data sources for testing the theory are presented.
