Voor de verandering : een op ervaringen gebaseerde studie naar de spanning tussen de theorie en de praktijk van het besturen

This study deals with the application of rational planning and decision making models to the practice of public service bureaucracies and focusses in particular on the question why application so often proves problematic. The study is based on the author's experience of introducing a rational planning model to the Agricultural Extension Service of the Netherlands Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries.
