Using Bureaucratic and Cultural Linkages to Improve Instruction: The Principal's Contribution.
Firestone, William A.; Wilson, Bruce L.
Educational Administration Quarterly, v21 n2 p7-30 Spr 1985

Two types of linkages are identified: bureaucratic and cultural. Principals have access to linkages of both kinds; using linkages effectively, they can generate a common purpose in their schools.
