Abstract | The way in which intraorganizational context can influence strategy making is shown by comparing six Canadian universities formulating retrenchment strategies. "Strategy" involves the components of the strategy, the process by which strategy is made, and the context in which strategy is formed. A variety of university contexts are identified with an emphasis on how they influenced the choice of strategy, processes of implementation, and outcomes. The nature of each university setting is examined by analyzing the behavior of the various interest groups and the relationships between them. The focus is on the key decision making groups in the university (the president's office, the deans, the senate, the board, and the faculty association). Certain university contexts are identified, and the link between them and the retrenchment strategy is discussed (the decentralized collegium, the technocratic bureaucracy, the sectarian university, the collegial bureaucracy, and the centralized collegium). A link between retrenchment strategies and the university context is demonstrated. Contains 38 references. (SM) |
