Legal mandates are mandates that are required by law.
Such mandates would appear in Federal, state, or local statutes. Regulatory mandates are mandates that appear in the rules or policies of the organization or in other organizational documentation, such as plans, official memos, etc. Regulatory mandates usually have more to do with procedures rather than politics. They may be requirements of the bureaucracy of the organization. Perceived mandates are mandates which members of the organization believe are required of them by their clientele or by other environmental factors.
