Configuration and Strategy Making in Universities: Broadening the Scope.
Hardy, Cynthia
Journal of Higher Education, v62 n4 p363-93 Jul-Aug 1991
The idea that universities can be viewed as a generic form of professional organization is critically examined. Through study of six Brazilian universities, a framework applicable to other countries is developed. The concept of configuration illustrates university forms differing from traditional professional bureaucracy and shows their relationship to planning. (Author/MSE)
