Toward A Definition Of Organizational Politics, Bronston T. Mayes, Robert W. Allen

Department of Management: Faculty Publications

Viewing organizations as political entities is not a recent phenomenon. March (7) suggested that organizations are political coalitions in which decisions are made and goals are set by bargaining processes. Other writers stressed the utility of taking a political perspective when studying organizations (1, 6, 9, 22). Anyone associated with almost any form of organization eventually becomes aware of activities that are described by employees as "political", but what is termed political by one observer may not be viewed as political by another.

Design For A Developing Consortium, Henry A. Mauermeyer

Theses

The number of consortia in American higher education expanded rapidly from only ten in 1960 to eighty in 1973. Many do not have an organized method of developing interinstitutional cooperation, structuring their internal management, or preparing to meet future expansion.

All Master's Theses

An action research model was used to assess the application of Organizational Development theory, strategies, and interventions in the Business and Financial Affairs area of an institution of higher learning.

Results suggested that significant increases had occurred over the last 34-month period on measures of group development. It was concluded that such strategies merit further application and evaluation.

An Investigation To Identify Management Topics To Be Included In The Business Administration Program At Utah State University, Richard E. Zackrison

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

The development of management techniques which are in keeping with the changing environment has been termed "management science." Thrall points out that "management science has not yet reached a stage in which standardization or freezing of educational programs is desirable. " Further, he states that "we should explore new educational ideas, keeping in mind that many management scientists will become managers."

Management science may be in the rut described by Gordon and Howell. They assert that those businessmen and educators who fail to keep pace with change are forced to "plod in a rut they dug long ago. For them …
