Beskrivning
The third edition of Organizational Theory in Higher Education is a comprehensive and accessible treatment of organizational theory and higher education administration. Through her presentation of both traditional and contemporary organizational theories, noted scholar Kathleen Manning offers a multi-faceted take on the models and lenses through which higher education can be viewed.Chapters discuss the disciplinary foundation, uses, constructs, and assumptions of each organizational theory, including theories often excluded from the literature like organized anarchy, feminist, loosely coupled systems, and queer theory. Each chapter concludes with a case study and discussion questions that encourage the reader to make connections to their practice. Combining theory and practice, Manning’s rich, interdisciplinary treatment enables leaders to gain a fuller understanding of the perspectives that operate on college campuses and ways to enact inclusive, ethical change in the context of new and continuing challenges.New to this Edition:A new chapter on Queer Theory that presents more socially just approaches to institutional organizationA new chapter on Loosely Coupled Systems presenting the application of this theory to higher education settingsRevised chapters, updated theory, and new coverage that reflect current issues, such as pandemic, crisis responses, and social mediaSeveral new and revised case studies to address contemporary issues and align with current realities of higher educationUpdated and enhanced discussion questions to continue the conversation

“This updated, 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, USA"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, USA"Manning highlights multiple theoretical frameworks that contribute to understanding the organization and administration of higher education. This edition is required reading for graduate students acquiring an understanding of ‘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, particularly given the current socio-political climate and the Covid-19 pandemic."Dorian L. McCoy, Associate Professor of Educational Leadership & Policy Studies, and Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, College of Education, Health, and Human Sciences, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, USA
