How Colleges Work or Management Information Systems Sixth Edition

How Colleges Work: The Cybernetics of Academic Organization and Leadership

Author: Robert Birnbaum

One of the best theoretical and applied analyses of university academic organization and leadership in print. This book is significant because it is not only thoughtfully developed and based on careful reading of the extensive literature on leadership and governance, but it is also deliberately intAnded to enable the author to bridge the gap between theories of organization, on one hand, and practical application, on the other.
