Summary:Does a Renewal of Head Administrators modify the Organizational Patterns of an Administration ? Testing it out on the Municipal Level In state policy, rejuvenating an administration is often thought to be a way of renewing it. However, in the context of municipalities, it does not have the expected effects : on one hand, young administrators do not necessarily change their behaviour or implement new ways of management any better than their elders do; secondly, although level of studies and professional background do contribute to changes in roles, such changes occur primarily through a complex interplay of relations, in which status and position within the organisation play a crucial role.
