Theoretical Implications of Measurement Inconsistencies in Organizational Decline Research.
Gautam, Kanak; And Others
Review of Higher Education, v20 n2 p181-98 Win 1997
A study investigated the measurement of organizational decline in 82 universities where objective and perceptual measures of decline appeared to contradict each other. Results suggest institutions with objectively-measured decline without perception of decline are characterized by processes of "decline as crisis," while institutions with perceived decline are characterized by processes of "decline as stagnation." Implications for theory-building are discussed. (Author/MSE)
