Abstract

Because of their broad scope, universities are complex organisations.Most publish a simplified organisation chart on their website.Notwithstanding the fact that the structure of an organisation is a key factor in the execution of strategy, seldom are these charts linked directly back to the strategy of the institution. In essence, they are strategy-free.However, what they do show is a managerial bureaucracy surrounding the academic functions of the university.Inevitably, this organisational complexity imposes its will on the academic community.
