This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colleges and universities are currently undergoing the most significant challenges they have faced since World War II. Rising costs, increased competition from for-profit providers, the impact of technology, and the changing desires and needs of consumers have combined to create a dynamic tension for those who work in, and study, postsecondary education. What worked yesterday is unlikely to work tomorrow. The status quo or bromides such as “stay the course” are insufficient responses in a market that demands creativity and innovation if an organization does not simply wish to survive, but thrive.Managerial responses or top-down linear decisions are antithetical to academic organizations and most likely recipes for disaster. In today’s “flat world”, decision-making for most organizations has become less hierarchical and more decentralized. Understanding this trend is of particular importance for organizations with traditions of shared governance. The message of this book is that understanding organizational culture is critical for those who recognize that academe must change, but are unsure how to make that change happen. Even the most seasoned college and university administrators and professors often ask themselves, “What holds this place together?” The author’s answer is that an organization’s culture is the glue of academic life. Paradoxically, this “glue” does not make things get stuck, but unstuck. An understanding of culture enables an organization’s participants to interpret the institution to themselves and others, and in consequence, to propel the institution forward.An organization’s culture is reflected in what is done, how it is done, and who is involved in doing it. It concerns decisions, actions, and communication on an instrumental and symbolic level. This book considers various facets of academic culture, discusses how to study it, how to analyze it, and how to improve it in order to move colleges and universities aggressively into the future while maintaining core academic values. This book presents updated versions of eight key articles on organizational culture in higher education by William G. Tierney. The new introduction that sets them in the context of current and future challenges will add further value to articles that are already in high demand.

Download or read book Performance Management in Kenyan Higher Education Institutions written by Lencer Ondijo and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-10-25 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study exploratively investigated the role of organizational culture in performance management practices in Kenyan higher education institutions. Specifically, the influence of organizational culture on the purpose and extent to which performance information is used was explored. Qualitative interviews were conducted followed by quantitative surveys, which were filled out by teaching and non-teaching staff in various universities in Kenya. The findings provide evidence of linkages between performance information use, diversity of measure and organizational culture. It has been established that, depending on whether flexibility or control values are dominant in the culture of an institution; performance information is used in varying ways. Institutions where flexibility values were dominant in their organizational cultures used performance information for attention focus, monitoring and decision making to a higher extent than universities where control values were dominant. Institutions where Flexibility values were dominant also showed a more diverse set of performance measures than in those where control values were dominant.

Download or read book An Investigation of Organizational Culture Changes and Effectiveness at Jefferson College written by Dena M. McCaffrey and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fundamental factor in the internal dynamics of a college is its culture. Central to understanding organizational culture is to minimize the occurrence and consequences of cultural conflict and help foster the development of shared goals. Modifying organizational culture is important. Without culture change, there is little hope of enduring improvement in organizational performance. When leaders understand the important connection between culture and strategy, they are better able to act in the abstruse environment in which higher education currently finds itself. Academic leaders sometimes struggle because they move too fast, too unilaterally, or without full appreciation of the power of cultural norms and traditions to enable others to buy into their plans. The lack of understanding regarding the role of organizational culture in improving management and institutional performance inhibits a leader's ability to address the challenges that face higher education. How effective an organization functions is related to its culture. There is strong consistency in both two-year and four-year institutions in the manner by which organizational effectiveness is related to culture. Organizational culture influences effectiveness by contributing to the solution of both external adaptation and internal integration issues. Because of the changing educational environment, institutional culture must evolve for an organization to remain competitive. Current challenges with organizational culture are not determined by whether to change but how to change to increase organizational effectiveness. Many efforts to improve organizational effectiveness fail because the fundamental culture of the organization remains the same. This qualitative study used historiography methodology to investigate how and why culture changes have occurred at Jefferson College, a two-year community college located in Hillsboro, Missouri. The culture of Jefferson College will be explored in relation to organizational effectiveness as well as significant events throughout its history. It includes historical events and leadership changes of Jefferson College and the impact each has had on organizational culture and effectiveness.
Download or read book Creating a Data Informed Culture in Community Colleges written by Brad C. Phillips and published by Harvard Education Press. This book was released on 2020-10-08 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brad C. Phillips and Jordan E. Horowitz offer a research-based model and actionable approach for using data strategically at community colleges to increase completion rates as well as other metrics linked to student success. They draw from the fields of psychology, neuroscience, and behavioral economics to show how leaders and administrators can build good habits for engaging with data constructively. At the core of their approach is a strategic effort to help administrators and faculty identify leading indicators that they can affect and monitor before student failure occurs. The book also helps educators make better use of common sources of data, clarify problems to be solved, match research-based interventions to problems, and evaluate results. The authors incorporate strategies for college personnel to engage with data more effectively by integrating student stories into presentations and embedding these discussions into existing meetings and routines. Three case studies from Long Beach City College, Southwestern College, and Odessa College further illustrate how this approach was implemented as part of comprehensive reform efforts. Based on two decades of experience working with colleges across the country, Creating a Data-Informed Culture in Community Colleges promises to be a valuable contribution to the ongoing conversation about information use in education to improve student outcomes.

Download or read book Re Envisioning the Public Research University written by Andrew Furco and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-24 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores the numerous and competing demands that face America’s public research universities and considers how institutions and their leaders can best navigate this challenge to ensure longevity, relevance, and success on the local, national, and global stage. Today’s public research universities have the unique challenge of responding to new societal pressures and policies, while remaining true to their core educational missions and values. Highlighting the multiple roles that universities must now fulfil – as institutions of higher learning, as research bodies, as institutions with global reputations, and as organizations that serve the public – the volume asks how they can best evolve in the rapidly changing education landscape. Tackling subjects such as faculty culture, the role of technology, financial sustainability, institutional identity, diversity, and organizational development, chapters identify innovative and transformative mechanisms for acclimatizing the public research university to current educational, academic, and societal needs. This text will benefit researchers, academics, and educators with an interest in higher education, educational reform and policy, and the sociology of education more broadly.
Download or read book The University in its Place written by John Brennan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-02-27 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book sets out to understand the significance of geographical context – place – for universities in the globalised setting of the twenty-first century. It examines their social impact on the regions in which they are situated, both from the perspectives of the universities themselves and from the perspectives of a range of different local and regional interest groups. It draws on a national study in the UK which has examined the role played by universities in four contrasting regional contexts. This UK study will be set within the larger theoretical and international literature on the role played by universities in processes of social change and transformation. An important theme of the book is the effects of university activities on various socially disadvantaged groups and consideration is given to whether there are ‘winners’ and ‘losers’ arising from the activities and interventions of universities. The book distinguishes between ‘discourses’, ‘activities’ and their ‘impacts’ in considering the role of universities and emphasises the importance of history and context as important mediators of national and institutional policies. It examines some of the key partnerships which universities enter into within their regions and considers some of the factors which determine the nature of these partnerships. Implications are drawn out for university leaderships and for regional and national policy bodies. The book provides empirical evidence in a field marked by a considerable amount of rhetoric from interested parties. One of the book’s conclusions is that there is considerable diversity among higher education institutions in how they perform a regional role, but it is a significant question for each of them. Institutional variation and regional setting come together to shape what is achievable.
Download or read book Using Teams in Higher Education Cultural Foundations for Productive Change written by Susan H. Frost and published by Jossey-Bass. This book was released on 1999-01-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In both conceptual and practical ways, the teams universities and colleges use, the cultures in which these teams succeed or fail, and the quality and value of the work they accomplish intersect both to provide opportunities for and take advantage of strategic change. This issue of New Directions for Institutional Research explores those intersections, with particular emphasis on the margins for mutual gain. Drawing on research and practice from higher education, where teams are used with varying degrees of effectiveness, and from business, where teams are linked to survival, the authors address questions of culture, especially as they can affect significant aspects of teamwork. The authors also explore the theory and practice related to different types of teams and the dynamics that influence their success. They then present ideas and resources practitioners might use, from examining case studies to using applied models from other settings. Designed to be both provocative and helpful, this volume provides guidance for useful change. This is the 100th issue of the quarterly journal New Directions for Institutional Research.
Download or read book Transformational Change in Community Colleges written by Christine Johnson McPhail and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the foreword by Walter G. Bumphus, President & CEO of AACC: “Becoming an Equity-Centered Higher Education Institution is a significant contribution to the on-going struggle to find practical approaches to implementing an equity agenda in higher education.” The authors had three main goals for this text: Relevance: This book is the result of many years of teaching, leading, researching, and coaching individuals and institutions about equity inside higher education. The authors place a clear emphasis on awareness and teaching skills first, but also ensure that those skills are based on practical application in the field. Practical Application: To describe and explain equity and transformational change concepts, this book provides step-by-step implementation approaches that can be used to integrate equity-centered principles into practices and policies to implement or improve equity work into the organizational culture. A Purposeful Approach: The authors defined the act of becoming an equity-centered institution in terms of a transformational change approach using Kotter’s Eight-Stage Process. Kotter’s Model and AACC’s Leadership Competencies for Community College Leaders are introduced in Chapter 1 and integrated throughout the book. This integrated framework allows practitioners to place the intersectionality of equity, transformational change, and requisite leadership competencies into the larger context of higher education. While using Kotter’s 8-Step Change Model, the authors emphasize that operations and situations inside higher educational institutions are not linear as implied in Kotter’s model. They show how the stages of change may occur at different times and different situations at different institutions, and demonstrate what leadership competencies are recommended for each stage in the change process.
