"At a time when institutions recognize the need for change but may be unsure of how to make that change happen, I found [this book] a must-read. I would recommend it to business officers and other leaders engaging their campuses in improvement and prioritization processes."―Business Officer Magazine"Overall, this collection enables a fresh look at a set of theoretically rich articles, all of which have maintained their currency in how we might think about and study postsecondary organizations. And while the chapters may not present any easy answers to those who work within higher education, the clear prose and cogent explanations certainly clarify how one’s theory of organizational culture matters."―Journal of College Student Retention"A wake-up call to college and university administrators who wish to lead their organizations to success and excellence in the 21st century."―Jim Mello, Assistant Provost for Financial Planning, University of HartfordThe 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 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.
