Consistent organizational elements across each theoretical chapter including theoretical foundation, structure, metaphor, characteristics, and strengths and weaknesses so that readers can better assess appropriate fit of theory to particular situations Questions for Discussion and Recommended Readings assist the reader to make connections to their practice and to develop an in-depth understanding of the organizational theories Organizational Theory in Higher Education</I> provides a clear understanding of how organizational models can be used to elicit the most effective practice and to navigate the complexity of higher education today.
