This article explores the development of a coalition of nonprofit membership organizations from the viewpoint of sense-making theory. The author argues that sense-making presents a useful framework for the entrepreneur to address gaps in understanding between coalition members. The case of a statewide health plan of public employees reveals the role of cultural differences between management and employee organizations in forming a statewide partnership to maintain a large health insurance risk pool. The results of initial sense-making of various health insurance issues by both management and employee organizations are contrasted with the common, constructed meaning on these issues that can arise from mutual communication. The author concludes that an understanding of the process of organizational sense-making offers the coalition-builder practical utility in considering the design and operations of a new organization. |
