How does interagency conflict arise from a mismatch of organizational bases? Make sure to list all four bases in your answer.
What will be an ideal response?
The four bases are purpose, process, clientele, and place. If some agencies are purpose based and others are clientele based, then certain predictable consequences follow. For instance, agents of the purpose-based FBI were killed while serving warrants on an Indian reservation that is under the jurisdiction of the clientele-based Bureau of Indian Affairs. Other conflicts often grow up within departments that are organized by both function and area. For instance, the State Department has units by region as well as functional units on human rights and refugee programs. Yet, it is usually difficult to get action on any functional problem without dealing with individual nations, and that requires the department’s traditional country-based structure.
