ABSTRACT
So far, our series of models of the interaction of government and community has ignored the complications arising from the existence of organizational boundaries within the governmental system. However, these models do provide a foundation from which we can isolate certain basic types of problem which are characteristic of any public planning process whatever its organizational setting. We will refer to these as operational problems to distinguish them from the further organizational problems which arise as soon as the planning process begins to cut across internal boundaries within the governmental system, and which we will consider in the next chapter.
