The Case of Deepwater
The Deepwater Program: A Case Study in Organizational Transformation Inspired by the Parallel Interaction of Internal and External Core Groups by Vikram Mansharamani Submitted to the Department of Political Science on December 15, 2003 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Political Science ABSTRACT This paper attempts to explain why the United States Coast Guard decided to undertake its most recent major capital asset replacement effort—the Deepwater Program—through the use of a systems approach. Several explanations are considered, but a series of interviews and a review of events during the 1996-2003 timeframe yield an explanation that points to bureaucratic politics and status dynamics as the most likely cause. In particular, the paper finds that the Coast Guard’s low status (vis-à-vis other organizations within the Department of Transportation) combined with the Deepwater community’s high status (vis-à-vis other communities within the Coast Guard) to produce a political environment that made the use of a systems approach almost inevitable. The paper closes by considering the policy ramifications of systems approaches used by relative weak organizations. Thesis Supervisor: Harvey M. Sapolsky Title: Professor of Public Policy and Organization ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank Professor Harvey Sapolsky (MIT Security Studies Program), Professor Richard Samuels (MIT Center for International Studies), and Professor Eugene Gholz (University of Kentucky Patterson School of Diplomacy and International Commerce) for their help in crafting the argument presented in this paper. I am also indebted to the MIT Security Studies Program for providing a vibrant community of scholars with whom to interact and share ideas.
