Abstract: In this study we are going to analyse the links between strategies, structures and processes, in the case of the largest Spanish town halls, using Miles & Snow’s models about organisational strategies. To analyse these relationships we are trying to answer the following questions: what is the situation of municipal services’ outsourcing in the largest Spanish town halls?, do Spanish town halls follow the strategies suggested in Miles and Snow’s model? and, is there a relationship between the strategic position adopted by town halls and their stance on outsourcing?
