Using the example of the implementation of management reform at the U. of Tartu, Estonia, the author considers organizational control and university change management, focusing on how single perspectives about control in organizations work together to explain the diversity of the control phenomenon and drawing on modern, symbolic, and postmodern paradigms. She discusses these different perspectives of organizational control, then applies them in practice to the U. of Tartu and details a framework to understand the conflicting forces that control change initiatives.
