| 520 | |a This study examined the impact of institutional culture on the change process within colleges and universities. It used an ethnographic approach and two tiered cultural frameworks to investigate comprehensive change at six institutions. The conceptual frameworks of culture used were Berquist's theory of institutional archetypes of culture and Tierney's theory of unique institutional cultures. The six institutions in the study included one research university, three doctoral-granting universities, a liberal arts college, and a community college. Data were collected on a semesterly basis by participant-observers at each institution and by outsider researchers. Data analysis involved theme analysis of institutional change strategies, development of institutional culture profiles based on both Berquist and Tierney frameworks, and analysis of whether institutional culture patterns could be identified in the change strategies. The report focuses on three of the six institutions describing change initiatives at each institution, their cultures, and discussion of how each culture affected institutional change strategies. Results support the value of exploring change strategies through a cultural approach, the usefulness of Berquist's four cultural archetypes, and the need to consider the unique nature of each institution's culture. Results suggest the need for campuses to conduct audits of their institutional culture before engaging in the change process. (Contains 34 references.) (DB) | ||
