Changing organizations in a changing institutional order: The reform of warsaw's governance systemFootnote¹

¹ This is an excerpt from a study of the management of city of Warsaw (Czarniawska, n.d) which forms a part of a larger research program, Managing the big city: A 21st century challenge to technology and administration, conducted in cooperation between Gothenburg University, Sweden, and Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin. The program encompasses studies of European metropolises, beginning with Stockholm, Berlin, Rome, Warsaw, and Brussel. The study was financed by the Daimler-Benz Foundation. The project of the program was prepared during the stay of the program leaders at Bellaggio Rockefeller Foundation. I am grateful to both foundations, and I thank my colleagues who read the paper critically: John Forester, Bernward Joerges, Katharine Peters, Tatiana Pipan and an anonymous reviewer. The first version of the paper was presented at the 2nd conference Public Sector in Common Europe, Nerano (Italy), June 1995.
