Organisational Control in University Management:
A Multiparadigm Approach focuses
on significant reform and change in large organisations. The book takes as its
primary focus the example of management reform at the University of Tartu,
Estonia, foregrounding the complexity of change and reform of the management
structures at a HE institution. Eneli Kindsiko presents findings that
illuminate issues of organisational control in broader institutional contexts,
exploring a wide-ranging set of theoretical and practical implications for many
institutional sectors in the organisation studies field. The book presents a
thorough overview of literature on organisational control, an in-depth
methodological approach (with the study building on three core research
paradigms: modernist, symbolic and postmodern), and a conceptual
framework for addressing the complexities of organisational control in large
institutions.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
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. -- Annotation (c)2018 * (protoview.com) *
