b'In Part 2 of our episode on Selznick\\u2019s TVA and the Grass Roots, we discuss its implications on contemporary organizational studies. In many ways, the story of TVA mirrors those of many other grass-roots style operations that have taken place since. The \\u201ccooptative mechanism\\u201d Selznick identified, whereby power or the burdens of power are shared and co-evolve, showed the relevance of political relations in the legitimacy that organizations\\u2014particularly public ones\\u2014strive for in order to operate.'
