Colleges and universities are best understood as networks of
departments working together to fulfill a mission of education,
innovation, and community partnership. To better understand how
these large and complex institutions function, scholars can apply
organizational and strategic planning concepts made familiar by
business management. This book follows that model and explores the
new and emerging ways by which organizational theories address
major contemporary concerns in higher education. The contributors
to this volume are both influenced and inspired by the pioneering
work of Marvin Peterson and his four-decade career researching
higher education organization. Comprising a serious re-examination
of the field, the essays review past and current thinking, address
the field's core theoretical traditions, and pursue exciting new
lines of inquiry, including the organizational dynamics of
diversity and social movement organizations. Ideal for courses in
administration and theory, this book reinvigorates the study of
higher education as an organization and encourages scholars to
rediscover the value of organizational principles in all areas of
higher education research. Contributors include: Michael N.
Bastedo, University of Michigan; Patricia J. Gumport, Stanford
University; James C. Hearn, University of Georgia; Adrianna Kezar,
University of Southern California; Jason Lane, State University of
New York at Albany; Simon Marginson, University of Melbourne;
Michael K. McLendon, Vanderbilt University; Anna Neumann, Columbia
University; Brian Pusser, University of Virginia; Fabio Rojas,
Indiana University; Daryl G. Smith, Claremont Graduate University;
William G. Tierney, University of Southern California; and the late
J. Douglas Toma, University of Georgia.
