Alternatives to hiring
Temporary staff
- temps can be more entrepreneurial
- temps are less socialized into the org (pos/neg)
Contractors (form of privatization)
- issues of having good contracts (princ/agent)
- can be used as downsizing: growth outside the books, but whether it enhances capacity is something else
- mission contracting (DOE example), see p. 56
Borrowing people (danger of dumping)
- task force
- detailing
- ask other (part of the) org, e.g., staff offices
