Organizational Improvement
Postsecondary organizations need to respond to a wide range of contemporary environmental pressures, including demands to improve access and quality, reduce costs, and establish better mechanisms for accountability. Theory-based and driven by empirical goals, this research project’s objective is to determine exemplary reorganization patterns of public universities and colleges as they position themselves academically to meet contemporary environmental pressures in a way that is consonant with their missions.
