Toward a Theory of Administrative Tethering is the culmination of a
seven-year commitment to investigate and explore the highly complex
and chaotic nature of collaboration, specifically in child
protective services (CPS). This journey began with an atypical
relationship between a doctoral student practicing in CPS and an
academic mentor. Examination of the CPS system in North Carolina
necessitated more in-depth study to foster change relevant to
improve service delivery for front-line staff and to engage
executive leadership at the local and state levels. All CPS actors
must function in a highly coordinated fashion to provide the
orderly delivery of this social product to the public as needed and
as expected. Herbert Simon's work is stitched into each chapter,
and his perspectives provide the binding agent to the emerging
Administrative Tethering (AT) framework (2002, 2000, 1962).
Administrative Tethering (AT) can be conceptualized as a strategic
management design that employs a series of inter-agency bonding
actions and techniques to address the multi-dimensional nature of a
complex, pressing public problem. This work concludes with the
identification of new research and its potential utility and
overall impact for the both the practitioner and academic.
