Abstract

I would like to thank Graham Scott for his comments and acknowledge his role in starting me on this journey as I sought to apply comparative institutional economics to the challenging problem of collaboration. Geoff Bertram is critical of the provider–funder model, as indeed I am if contracting models are applied when performance cannot be measured and when contractual expectations cannot be specified. That is a recipe for bad outcomes and dissatisfaction. I too prefer bureaucratic delivery where deep knowledge and experience are needed to guide performance, for the same reasons that Ronald Coase expounded in ‘The nature of the firm’.
