Summary:

"Anyone caring to become immersed in the nature of organizational theory, liberally illustrated by realistic cases, well better understand from these volumes what has happened-not only to a particular college or university at a point in time-but to the public's and politician's not always favorable perceptions of, and behaviors towards, higher education. I predict that many years will pass before these two volumes are surpassed."
