full_text_status: public
abstract: This study deals with the development of the strategic positioning of the Province of Groningen. The theoretical background shows a transformation in planning theory and practice and a changing role of governmental authorities towards a communicative, bottom-up and integral approach of planning issues. The organizational identity of provinces in general, and of the Province of Groningen in particular, has changed according to the transformation in planning theory and practice. Nowadays, the ‘new’ organizational identity of provinces is changed towards being a communicative, external-oriented organization. Provinces name this ‘new’ role area director.  Following the framing theory, the ‘official’ and general identity of the Province of Groningen is called the ‘master frame’ of the Province. By analyzing the case study of the IMP process, it becomes clear that the master frame can be recognized in practice as well.
