Abstract: Abstract This study is about public organisations acting in a complex funding environment. Therefore, we draw on concepts and explanatory models from sociology, public management and public finance. Similar to other social science disciplines, there is also diversity within public administration as a field of study. A recent work on this concludes that nowadays public administration is placed at a crossroads, facing serious challenges between its diverse shades as a ‘vertical’ department in the university hierarchy and a ‘horizontal’ field with various cross-cutting academic organisational structures and boundaries.
