Abstract
The literature has not yet focused on efficiency analysis as an important factor in Inter-Municipal Cooperation and the effects on its operation, nor has it addressed certain internal factors that would appear to play a crucial role in achieving cost reductions. We identified organizational dysfunctions and hidden costs in an Association of Municipalities in Chile based on a longitudinal case study (2020-2021) and research-intervention. Using Socio-Economic Approach to Management (SEAM), we introduce the instrumental role of management consulting into inter-municipal cooperation studies to implement organizational efficiency diagnosis and hypothesize that the internal dysfunctionality of inter-municipal cooperation and the effectiveness of its governance are directly linked.
