This book was released on 1981-06 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on the authors' extensive experience at Stanford University as well as the work of others, this first systematic approach to fiscal and human resource planning in colleges and universities shows how decision models can and should become an integral part of the planning process. The authors first discuss the uses and misuses of planning models in general and the principles and methodologies for developing such models. They then describe many specific models that have proved to be useful at Stanford and elsewhere in solving immediate problems and establishing long-term goals. These models cover such diverse programs as medium- and long-range financial forecasting; estimating resource requirements and the variable costs of programs; long-run financial equilibrium and the transition to equilibrium; faculty appointment, promotion, and retirement policies; predicting student enrollments; and applying value judgments to financial alternatives. The final chapter discusses the applicability of Stanford-based planning models to other schools.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Strategic Change in Colleges and Universities, the Rowley, Lujan, and Dolence show how the strategic planning process can lead to more constructive and effective change within the college and university environment. Solidly grounded in theory, this practical book builds on the authors' experience of successfully implementing an original strategic planning approach on a variety of campuses in the United States and Canada. This powerful model works well in the wide range of higher educational settings, provides a consistent framework that unifies all levels involved, and is effective in keeping diverse groups of decision-makers focused on the most important elements of the organization's success.The authors outline, step by step, a strategic planning process that is uniquely tailored to the needs of academic settings where multiple constituencies require a more collaborative planning approach than is used in corporations. Strategic Change in Colleges and Universities is filled with illustrative examples that clearly show how the authors' strategic planning principles, which they describe as a ?strategic planning engine,? work in practice. The book also discloses practical and realistic methods of navigating the political land mines that often obstruct the development of a strategic plan and its implementation. Offering clear directions on the many components of a successful implementation strategy, the authors show how to encourage communication, gain the backing of top leaders, and develop campuswide support. This collaborative model of strategic planning which (unlike other approaches used in academe) results in rather than starts from the institution's mission statement. Each campus applies the same principles, developing its own method of planning to match its institution's particular needs and characteristics.Strategic Change in Colleges and Universities is written for those charged with strategic planning--presidents, chancellors, vice presidents, Details a strategic planning approach that has proved effective in institutions across the country. The authors address the complex nature of stakeholders and conflicting purposes in an academic setting.

Download or read book Values Based Strategic Planning written by Terry Quong and published by Prentice Hall PTR. This book was released on 1998 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virtually everyone -- parents, teachers, administrators, school boards, and students -- believes that schools must change for the 21st century. But which changes should occur, and whose values should be reflected? Many change initiatives have foundered on questions like these. Values-Based Strategic Planning: A Dynamic Approach for Schools offers a complete guide to rethinking the purpose of schools, involving every constituency, achieving real consensus, and planning for change that really happens. The tools and techniques in this book work not only in schools, but in any organization that must change, but isn't sure how. Unlike other planning schemes, Values Based Strategic Planning involves everyone in the school, accounts for their fundamental beliefs about education, and is delightfully simple to operate. The entire process can be completed in one day, and the result is a strategic plan that reflects the school's priorities and has the wholehearted commitment of those who must put it into operation. You'll walk step-by-step through the process, start to finish. Learn how to solicit value statements and distill them into school-wide values that can be shared and acted upon; identify critical issues and draft a preliminary mission statement; discover the aspects of a school -- and each individual's role -- that should kept, changed, or innovated; prioritize the results, and build a plan specific enough to succeed. Values Based Strategic Planning has been used in schools and other organizations worldwide, and it works.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In From Strategy to Change-the last in a series-Daniel James Rowley comes full circle in defining his unique vision of the strategic planning process. Written with Herbert Sherman, From Strategy to Change shows how to take the next step after a strategic plan has been formulated. The authors clearly show how to implement a strategic plan that will meet the myriad challenges of today's complex higher education environment and spell success for the academy."It is amazing that while sports teams of colleges and universities meticulously plan their contests against their opponents, their institutions' administrators don't spend nearly enough time or effort in creating andimplementing a strategy. Institutions of higher education seem to be missing the requisite tools to develop and activate their 'play book.' With this new age of globally available real-time information, it becomes increasingly more essential to have a map to help go over and around obstacles, avoid the ever-present pitfalls, and effectively aid in selecting the best route. Rowley and Sherman provide such tools in this exciting and comprehensive new book. I wish that when I was a department chair, president of a faculty senate, and dean that this superb work was available. My function in planning would have been so much easier and more rewarding."--Barry R. Armandi, Distinguished Teaching Professor, SUNY - Old Westbury
