Every university or college president envisions bold
initiatives--big projects intended to change the nature of an
institution with significant implications across all sectors. How
can leaders and senior managers charged with implementing reforms
effectively frame their work and anticipate potential pitfalls?
No organization can maximize its capacity, defined as the
administrative foundation essential for establishing and sustaining
initiatives, without considering its core elements individually and
in concert, according to J. Douglas Toma. This book examines eight
essential organizational elements--purposes, structure, governance,
policies, processes, information, infrastructure, and culture--and
illuminates their influence in strategic management through case
studies at eight institutions.
"Building Organizational Capacity" situates strategic
management within the context of higher education, providing
practitioners with the tools to better understand institutional
challenges in accomplishing its missions and realizing its
aspirations. Toma's clear and well-integrated review of the latest
research, as well as his advice for decision makers applying the
book's lessons in practice, ensures this volume's place in the
growing literature on strategy and management in higher
education.
