Giving up the Single Life: Leadership Motivations for Interorganizational Restructuring in Nonprofit Organizations

This paper addresses a gap in our understanding of why leaders of nonprofit organizations pursue interorganizational restructuring (defined as mergers and similar arrangements). It draws on several theories that explain interorganizational relations as adaptive responses to environmental conditions. The study analyzes four examples of interorganizational restructuring involving 11 nonprofit human service organizations. The research finds that theories emphasizing single-factor motivations (such as the need for resources, power, legitimacy, or greater efficiency) are incomplete; a multiple-factors approach suggested by Oliver\u27s (1991) integrated theory of interorganizational relations provides a more satisfactory basis for theory development. Researchers can use this work to develop a more complete understanding of interorganizational restructuring as a phenomenon; practitioners can use it to inform strategy development

Juvenile Xanthogranuloma of the Optic Nerve, Disc, Retina, and Choroid

A 20-month-old infant found to have a blind eye with neovascular glaucoma was thought to have a neoplasm of the optic nerve for which enucleation was performed with resection of a long segment of optic nerve. Microscopic examination revealed the enlarged optic nerve and optic papilla to be infiltrated densely by histiocytic cells, including Touton giant cells, all containing large amounts of neutral fat. The histologic picture was indistinguishable from that of juvenile xanthogranuloma. Occlusion of the central retinal vessels had led to hemorrhagic infarction of the retina and neovascular glaucoma. Thorough clinical and laboratory investigations repeated over a period of more than 2½ years failed to disclose any evidence of a systemic disease, and the child has remained in good health. This is believed to be a unique case of juvenile xanthogranuloma of the optic nerve and disc
