ABSTRACT

The logic of appropriateness reflected the dominant decision-making mode for ACT Netherlands when it concerned ‘old family members’, as was established in the previous chapter. However, not all decision-making processes within ACT Netherlands were related to old family members and were therefore appropriate in character. The data collected for this study also pointed to secondary patterns in ACT’s decision-making processes, just as it did in the case of MSF Holland. This chapter describes these secondary patterns in more detail. These are divided into two categories: working with strangers and working without alternatives for action.
