Download or read book The University of Crisis written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-10-18 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book began as a collection of papers presented at a conference entitled ‘The Future Business of Higher Education’ held at Oxford University. The contributions range from those who grapple with the question of what a University should do, through those concerned with making Higher Education more efficient, to some who were already planning for some technologically inevitable virtual future. These disparate leanings led to inevitable conflict and a challenge in editing into book form. In compiling and editing the chapters the editor has tried to preserve some of the diversity of opinion presented at Oxford. By doing so it is apparent that some individual contributors would find unacceptable much of what others in the book have to say. The traditionalists clash with the modernizers, the Left with the Right, Public with Private and the theorists with the practitioners. It is this very divergence of philosophical opinion as to the future of Higher Education that makes this book such an enjoyable and stimulating read.

Book excerpt: "The world of complex adaptive systems is marked by disruptive changes. Crises occur when organizations encounter disruptive changes that exceed their adaptive capacity. Stress increases when these disruptive changes threaten the continued functionality or survival of an organization. Once stress approaches a tipping point, performance in routine and novel tasks decreases precipitously. In complex sociotechnical organizations, the negative interactions between disruptive change, stress, and performance can produce a dynamic feedback loop that may result in organizational failure. Strong organizational resiliency provides off ramps that have the potential to minimize the negative dynamic effects of a crisis cycle. Organizational resiliency is an organization's adaptive capacity to anticipate, absorb, respond to, and capitalize on specific disruptive changes that threaten the functionality or survival of the organization. Strong resiliency is based on trust, a perceived organizational identity, and an open culture. Furthermore, preparedness, responsiveness, adaptability, and learning are four drivers of resiliency that enable graceful extensibility which is the ability to operate at diminish organizational capacity while maneuvering away from crisis-prone areas through resource transference. The implications of this study are that Air Force leaders of socio-technical organizations, should expect disruptive change, identify areas of brittleness, balance efficiency with adaptability, and employ different strategies to mitigate the negative effects disruptive changes have on novel or routine task performance."--Abstract.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.
