Through the use of instrumentally oriented organization theory and empirical data based in public documents and interviews, we analyse how welfare administration changes through the implementation process when organizational principles are rebalanced based on changing actos patters, negociations and path dependencies. The study illustrates that contradictions and complexities in organizational design are enduring features of public sector organizations
