| Abstract
|
:
|
Argues that a number of organizational factors challenge the notion of agency assumed by a governance model. This work criticizes the governance model for resting on the rational myth and the assumption that democratic ideals can be translated to specified democratic values, which in turn can be adhered to by democratic agents.
