Autor Kathleen Manning
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 sep 2017

The second edition of Organizational Theory in Higher Education is a comprehensive and accessible treatment of organizational theory and higher education administration. Noted scholar Kathleen Manning offers a fresh take on the models and lenses through which higher education can be viewed by presenting a full range of organizational theories, from traditional to current.

Questions for discussion are provided at the end of each chapter and embedded in the cases to assist the reader in making connections to their practice. Manning's rich, interdisciplinary treatment enables readers to gain a full understanding of the perspectives that operate on a college campus and ways to adopt effective practice in the context of new and continuing tensions, contexts, and challenges.

Recenzii

Praise for the 1st Edition
"This theory-rich volume is peppered with practical applications throughout, making it the tutorial that this generation of academic leaders, faculty, and graduate students need to understand and respond to routine and non-routine actions and events, on and off the campus."
—George D. Kuh, Chancellor’s Professor Emeritus of Higher Education, Indiana University
"Manning has precisely condensed, updated, and translated the germinal organizational theoretical texts and meticulously interpreted the material with an intuitively global lens. The cases in Organizational Theory in Higher Education provide a refreshing perspective on the current trends and issues impacting higher education. Readers see and hear the voices of view of minoritized people and women throughout the text, which is a testament to Manning's understanding of the shifting organizational landscape of this ‘mature industry’."
—Mary Howard-Hamilton, Distinguished Research Professor of Educational Leadership, Indiana State University
"Manning illuminates multiple theoretical frameworks that contribute to understanding the organization and administration of higher education. This edition is a ‘must read’ for graduate students who desire to understand both ‘traditional’ and contemporary theories that explain, in part, how higher education functions. Although the text is written primarily for doctoral and master's students, it is a worthy read for administrators, faculty, and staff seeking to enhance their understanding of the complex structure that is U.S. higher education."
—Dorian L. McCoy, Associate Professor of Educational Leadership & Policy Studies and Coordinator, College Student Personnel (CSP) Program, University of Tennessee, Knoxville
