The two quasi-groups that would exist in this enterprise would be capital and management (holding positions of authority) and labour (not holding positions of authority) People who are occupying certain positions (who or who don"t hold authority: interest groups. In an imperatively-coordinated association, the existence of these two. Quasi groups might eventually lead to the emergence of two interest groups. These interest groups have formal organization and a program or goal. Can see an extension of the two quasi groups (capital/management and labour) Those two quasi groups might turn into two interest groups, which. Dahrendorf might see them as two conflict groups.
