Description

"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. 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."--Jacket.
