Conflict, Congruence, and Generic University Goals.
Tuckman, Howard P.; Chang, Cyril F.
Journal of Higher Education, v59 n6 p612-33 Nov-Dec 1988

Sources of goal differences observed among participants are explored and a number of observations are offered as to when goals will coincide and when they will conflict. (Author/MLW)
