Feasibility Analysis And Planning Factors For Florida Discovery Jacksonville Florida, Harrison Price Company Aug 1987

Feasibility Analysis And Planning Factors For Florida Discovery Jacksonville Florida, Harrison Price Company

Harrison "Buzz" Price Papers

The Partners of Florida Discovery, Inc. proposed the development of a tourist destination complex near Jacksonville International Airport to the north of the city proper and south of the Georgia Slate line. The project was intended to intercept the flow of tourists at the wellhead—the huge volume of auto travelers entering and leaving Florida via I-95, the most heavily used tourist route in the state. Conceptual plans for the project call for a mix of active and passive recreation, in tandem with selected tourist-oriented commercial enterprises, that would in the aggregate create a strong incentive to stop and spend anywhere …

A Response To The Communication Arts And Sciences: Together Again, Harry Ausprich Aug 1987

A Response To The Communication Arts And Sciences: Together Again, Harry Ausprich

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This piece responds to ongoing debates about the organization of the communication arts and sciences by situating the discussion within the larger purpose of education. It argues that administrative considerations such as budgets, efficiency, or departmental structures should be secondary to the broader aim of cultivating intellectual inquiry, values, and connectedness across disciplines. Drawing on reports about educational reform and cultural commentary, it stresses the importance of balancing liberal studies with professional training to prepare students for rapid societal change. The essay highlights the responsibility of faculty to foster learning that emphasizes “know why” rather than only “know how.” It …

Theatre In Its Own Right, David L. Jorns Aug 1987

Theatre In Its Own Right, David L. Jorns

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article considers the place of theatre as a recognized academic discipline and explores pathways for its future development. It identifies two main options for theatre programs: the liberal arts approach, emphasizing broad education, historical-literary grounding, and expressive opportunities; and the professional approach, which includes secondary education, higher education preparation, and professional performance training. The discussion highlights the importance of improving secondary theatre education, since university programs rely on strong foundations at that level. It also argues that university theatre should embrace professional standards by staffing programs with active practitioners, integrating faculty performances, and fostering repertory-style models. Additional concerns include …

The Future Of Interpersonal Communication, W. Barnett Pearce, Karen A. Foss

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article explores the future of rhetoric and public address within the communication discipline, drawing on input from faculty and department chairs across the field.

The discussion reviews optimism about the resurgence of rhetoric, noting new degree programs, recognition by other disciplines, and increasing publication in respected venues. Public address is portrayed as evolving, with …

Defining The Organization, Philip K. Tompkins Aug 1987

Defining The Organization, Philip K. Tompkins

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article reflects on the role of department chairs in universities, drawing on experience in governance and administration to offer both theoretical and practical insights. It introduces the tension between structure and communitas, arguing that academic organizations often emphasize hierarchy at the expense of collegial bonds. Practical strategies include “penetration,” or building connections two levels up and down in the hierarchy, and developing persistence in advocating for departmental needs despite apprehension. The discussion addresses expectations from deans, the challenge of maintaining order without stifling conflict, and the ambiguity of rational versus irrational decision-making in complex systems. Additional observations concern how …

Organizational Qualities Of Academic Departments, Michael Pacanowsky Aug 1987

Organizational Qualities Of Academic Departments, Michael Pacanowsky

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article explores the qualities of organizational culture that can make academic departments more enabling rather than constraining. Drawing on a sabbatical experience with W.L. Gore & Associates, the discussion contrasts corporate practices with academic structures. Gore’s culture emphasized freedom, fairness, commitment, and open communication, supported by a lattice-style structure and sponsorship instead of hierarchical management. From this model, six principles of empowering organizations are identified: distributing power and opportunity, maintaining open communication, using integrative problem-solving, encouraging challenge within trust, fostering self-responsibility, and learning from organizational contradictions. The article applies these principles to higher education, offering questions for administrators to …

Female Leadership In Male-Dominated Organizations, Sue Dewine Aug 1987

Female Leadership In Male-Dominated Organizations, Sue Dewine

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines female leadership in male-dominated organizational cultures, particularly within the field of communication. It critiques common advice that encourages women to imitate masculine leadership models, arguing that such approaches create sterile environments and diminish the unique strengths women bring to leadership. The discussion reviews research on organizational culture and the influence of administrators in shaping departmental climates, highlighting persistent barriers faced by women in higher education. Evidence shows that female administrators often experience role conflict, isolation, and burnout, despite having skills comparable to male counterparts. Recommendations include embracing androgynous leadership traits, building professional networks, and promoting cultural change …

Stories, Accounts, And Organizational Power, Stanley Deetz Aug 1987

Stories, Accounts, And Organizational Power, Stanley Deetz

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines the role of power in academic organizations, with a focus on how departmental chairs mediate between collegial traditions and corporate administrative structures. Power is framed as both enabling and constraining, manifested not only in direct influence but also in agenda setting, hidden assumptions, and language use. The discussion highlights how storytelling and account-giving shape organizational life, with chairs serving as both accountants of departmental realities and narrators of institutional identity. Stories function to socialize members, naturalize practices, neutralize political interests, and legitimate decisions, thereby influencing whether discussions remain open or become closed. The article concludes that chairs …

Leadership And Conflict Management, Linda L. Putnam Aug 1987

Leadership And Conflict Management, Linda L. Putnam

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines conflict management as a central component of organizational life, particularly within educational settings. Conflict is defined as interaction among interdependent parties over perceived incompatible goals or actions, with potential to be either destructive or constructive. Constructive management emphasizes clarity, openness, and trust, while destructive approaches foster rigidity, defensiveness, and escalation. The discussion explores the unique features of academic organizations, including loosely coupled systems, competing goals, scarce resources, and divided professional loyalties, which make them especially prone to disputes. Strategies reviewed include conflict styles such as confrontation, forcing, smoothing, compromising, and avoiding, as well as bargaining approaches that …
