This study looks into the "black box" of hospital ownership conversion in a "natural experiment." We posed two competing theories about how conversion might influence management practices. Results support complexity theory and not threat-rigidity theory. As predicted from complexity theory, MDs and RNs had greater levels of participation and influence over final decision choices in converted hospitals than in nonconverted hospitals.
