Abstract

This article presents a conceptual model that illustrates problematic linkages between organizational and inter-organizational learning and the effectiveness of networks of voluntary and public organizations that offer emergency and disaster management services. We believe that network effectiveness looks quite different under the turbulent environmental conditions of emergency management, and that the sorts of structures presumed to create network effectiveness under more stable institutional conditions may not necessarily operate in emergency management. The problematics of the inter-organizational learning cycle are illustrated with examples from emergency management, and we conclude with implications for studying and training for the relationships illuminated in the article.
