title: Modes of organising at two health services organizations: a case study approach.
abstract: This paper applies a case study methodology to examine the development of two distinct models of organising allied health professionals within two health service organizations. In particular, it explores options in modes of organising. Case study data reflected that in one case a single stakeholder entity was achieved through the development of quasi-shareholder roles for allied health discipline leaders. In contrast, the second case included multiple small weak stakeholders who had competing visions regarding both identity and resource allocation. The emergence of these two distinct forms of organising within allied health has implications for policy and practice.
