- Title
Some Aspects of Detroit's Decisional Profile.
- Authors

- Abstract
This paper shows that public administration cases can provide data to serve as a basis for behavioral theories. It analyzes the distributions of specified meetings across time quartiles in the first seven chapters of R. J. Mowitz and D. S. Wright's Profile of a Metropolis. Findings can be divided into intercase stabilities that exemplify general characteristics of the Detroit decisional process, such as heightened meeting rates in the fourth quartile and a predominance of exclusively governmental meetings in all four periods; and variations that stem from the differing substantive issues described, such as the extent of early activity by nongovernment groups or the frequency of mass meetings.
