pp. 293-302
Abstract
This chapter describes the general implications of the case studies regarding governing boards, administrative organizations, the need for faculty to take the initiative in organizing themselves, rules of thumb for leading organizational design efforts and policy discussions, incorporating contingent faculty, and developing external laws and policies to support the processes. It also returns to the general point that the current theory of organizations does not just describe them. Like any good descriptive theory, it can also clarify and regularize the process of building them.
