Designing for Disaster: Applying Structural Contingency Theory to Government Risk Mitigation and Consequence Management Organizational Structures
Naval Postgraduate School (U.S.). Center for Homeland Defense and Security; Naval Postgraduate School (U.S.)
From the thesis: "The COVID-19 pandemic served as the latest prominent example in a long history of emergency management, homeland security, resilience, and other government agencies perpetuating long-standing fragmentation, overlaps, and duplication of effort. This thesis investigated how a governmental jurisdiction's mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery activities can leverage organizational design scholarship to improve effectiveness and efficiency. A structural contingency analytical framework by Richard Daft was adapted for risk mitigation and consequence management organizations. The adapted analytical framework was tested using a case study of Somerville, Massachusetts. The thesis concludes with organizational design recommendations for government risk mitigation and consequence management functions."
