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 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.

This book was released on 2021-06-25 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organizations are facing major disruptions in technology, consumer preferences, and in the makeup of their workforce, and as a result, they will need to adapt to these rapidly changing times to stay effective. Organizations that are able to tap into the collective knowledge of their employees and leverage their insights will have an advantage over those that lack this connectivity. Implementing a knowledge management (KM) strategy can help organizations improve operational effectiveness, innovation, and adapt to changes, but the majority of KM implementations fail due to misalignment with the organization's existing culture. Organizational culture can enable effective KM, or it can be a barrier to its implementation. The Handbook of Research on Organizational Culture Strategies for Effective Knowledge Management and Performance defines the relationship between organizational culture and knowledge management and how they impact one another. This handbook also identifies critical business practices to assist organizations in transitioning to work from home while maintaining a strong corporate culture that includes beneficial knowledge-sharing behaviors. Covering topics including knowledge management, organizational culture, and change management, this text is essential for managers, executives, practitioners, leaders in business, non-profits, academicians, researchers, and students looking for research on how organizations can thrive and adapt due to emerging global disruptions as well as local or internal disruptions.
