Table 4The unresolved questions are the work

Open managerial questionWhy it matters
What exactly is being governed?A relationship, an activity, an outcome, or an interface?
Which power is legitimate for this task?Influence without a clear task can look like arbitrary control
What information is missing?Unobserved behavior and context weaken both coordination and accountability
Which conflict is productive?A difference can reveal a design tradeoff rather than a partner defect
What would justify integration?Ownership should solve a defined coordination or control problem
