| Abstract: | Studies of administrative reform have neglected or underestimated the tenacious nature of opposition. Vested interests first seek to obviate reform and, if unsuccessful, force reversion to the initial status quo. Such nullifying behaviour is discussed and illustrated with a case study of the incorporation of the United States Post Office Department. |
