Description

Explore the structural complexities of higher education with The Organization of Academic Work by Peter M. Blau. Part of the Foundations of Higher Education series, this text offers a unique perspective on how academic institutions function. The study began with an analysis of government bureaucracies, leading Blau to investigate if similar administrative patterns exist within other organizational types. This book examines the specific institutions of higher education. Blau argues that these formal organizations differ significantly in their objectives and performance compared to government bureaucracies. Readers will gain insight into the unique administrative structures that define the academic world. It is an essential resource for those studying the organizational behavior and management of universities and colleges.
