Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the perceived applicability of change tactics, as represented by Nutt's model of four change implementation tactics, by three groups of student affairs staff in the implementation of planned change in the administration of college and university student housing operations. The researcher developed and validated an instrument that presented typical change situations occurring in college and university housing operations. The scenarios were divided into four management function areas of planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. following each scenario were four responses that represented Nutt's four implementation tactics. The survey instrument was mailed to three groups of student affairs administrators involved with the supervision and management of on campus student housing. The three administrative groups were the chief student affairs officer, the chief housing officer, and members of the professional housing staff immediately subordinate to the chief housing officer. All groups were from public institutions with on campus housing populations of 2000 or greater. There were 100 administrators in each of the three groups drawn from an institutional sample of 178. simple t-tests and one-way analyses of variance were used to analyze the data. IF significant differences existed, a follow-up procedure, the Bonferroni test for significance, was used to identify specific differences. The results of the study provided support for the application of Nutt's model to change implementation in student housing administration. The study also extended the application of Nutt's model to higher education administration and identified differences in the perceived applicability of the four change implementation tactics. In overall application of the implementation tactics, administrators viewed each tactic as statistically different from the other tactics. None of the three groups of administrators differed in their application of the participation, intervention or edict tactics to change situations. The application of the persuasion tactic to change situations differed significantly between the chief student affairs officers and and both the chief housing officers and professional housing staff. The application of the implementation tactics to change situations within the functional areas of management provided several significant differences among the three administrative groups. The persuasion tactic provided most of the significant difference while the edict tactic showed no differences in application.

Download or read book Making Strategy Work written by Lawrence G. Hrebiniak and published by Pearson Education. This book was released on 2005-01-05 with total page 499 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Without effective execution, no business strategy can succeed. Unfortunately, most managers know far more about developing strategy than about executing it -- and overcoming the difficult political and organizational obstacles that stand in their way. In this book, leading consultant and Wharton professor Lawrence Hrebiniak offers the first comprehensive, disciplined process model for making strategy work in the real world. Drawing on his unsurpassed experience, Hrebiniak shows why execution is even more important than many senior executives realize, and sheds powerful new light on why businesses fail to deliver on even their most promising strategies. Next, he offers a systematic roadmap for execution that encompasses every key success factor: organizational structure, coordination, information sharing, incentives, controls, change management, culture, and the role of power and influence in your business. Making Strategy Work concludes with a start-to-finish case study showing how to use Hrebeniak's ideas to address one of today's most difficult business execution challenges: ensuring the success of a merger or acquisition.

Download or read book The Future of Nursing written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-02-08 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Future of Nursing explores how nurses' roles, responsibilities, and education should change significantly to meet the increased demand for care that will be created by health care reform and to advance improvements in America's increasingly complex health system. At more than 3 million in number, nurses make up the single largest segment of the health care work force. They also spend the greatest amount of time in delivering patient care as a profession. Nurses therefore have valuable insights and unique abilities to contribute as partners with other health care professionals in improving the quality and safety of care as envisioned in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) enacted this year. Nurses should be fully engaged with other health professionals and assume leadership roles in redesigning care in the United States. To ensure its members are well-prepared, the profession should institute residency training for nurses, increase the percentage of nurses who attain a bachelor's degree to 80 percent by 2020, and double the number who pursue doctorates. Furthermore, regulatory and institutional obstacles-including limits on nurses' scope of practice-should be removed so that the health system can reap the full benefit of nurses' training, skills, and knowledge in patient care. In this book, the Institute of Medicine makes recommendations for an action-oriented blueprint for the future of nursing.
