New College Hierarchies? Towards an Examination of Organizational Structures in Further Education in England and Wales.

Harper, Harriet

Educational Management & Administration, v28 n4 p433-445 Oct 2000

A research project examined what form of organizational structures have been adopted within British further-education colleges 5 years after their incorporation and removal from local-education authority control. Colleges are representing their structures as market models (alongside a clan culture), rather than Weberian bureaucracies. (Contains 29 references.)
