RESEARCH ORGANIZATION AND LEADERSHIP

Introduction: Functions of the bibliography

Use in research organization, leadership and related functions

These references are for use in forming, maintaining and working with a group or team. The focus is on pure and applied research but the work may also be useful in other kinds of innovative group or team activity

Team activity has a number of components. One is the division and organization of tasks. Another is the synergistic interaction deriving from the give and take of ideas. A third component or function of team activity is the mutual encouragement derived from common goals and from healthy competition. Finally, and this is important to my interest, a team can accomplish goals that isolated individuals cannot - this has both practical and conceptual dimensions. The practical dimension is fairly clear; the conceptual component is that there are some goals that can be only team - or social - goals

My initial purpose is to work on the evolution and design project as conceived in area 8 of evolution and design, in assist, in related works and ongoing development. The degree of formality and concretion of the group is an open issue. The functions include concept and knowledge synthesis at a global universal level, conceptual, detailed and organic foundation of such knowledge, application and consultation at all levels. The system conceives being and knowledge as an organic unity and therefore “application and design” are not separate entities from “knowledge.” Evolution from a research foundation to a design and consulting organization will be natural

The focus is on two areas: publication and support. Support is of two kinds:

1. Assistance or team work in the production of the ends of the evolution and design project as described above. This includes both research and auxiliary functions. Personnel and other resources such as computer, library, laboratory, and office equipment are included. These are detailed in assist and related work

2. Financial and related sources such as facilities that permit maintenance of the organization. The evolution from research foundation to a design and consultation organization implies that income will be a source of support. Other sources will be contracts, grants, donations…

These support functions can be called “management.” Management would be conceived in a general way to include all phases of operation including entrepreneurship, establishment, and personnel. In view of the long term design and consultation, general management will be useful

Accordingly, the topics or chapters of this bibliography are [1] Publishing, [2] Management of research and creativity, [3] Funding and support of research, and [4] General administration and management

Management of creativity

The references provide information on research management, creativity and management of creativity in general. In this function “management of creativity” is a topic of study… of interest in itself and for application and consultation

Weinberg, then director of oak ridge national laboratory, discusses the need, benefits, choices and problems of large-mission oriented laboratories. The discussion of needs and benefits focuses on the use of science in securing the future of humanity. The problems are the problems of communication due to specialization and the possible effect on development due to impaired cross- fertilization; the choices: among the scientific disciplines; basic and applied, “big” and “little”. He discusses internal factors (readiness of a field, competence of scientists) and external factors (technological, social and scientific criteria), specific fields; and the question of support for science as a whole including support for basic science as a branch of culture and as an overhead charge on applied science and technology. Finally, he discusses relations and unities among science and human values

David Eli Drew, Strengthening Academic Science, 1985

Concerned with efficiency in research programming, the book analyzes federal research funding schemes and relation to research, comes up with recommendations for federal-funding policy (total and division), and for institutions and scientists. Recommendations for federal-funding programs:

The thrust is catalytic funding programs that use existing but latent facilities; however, there is little analysis of type of research, pilot programs, etc. Fund more small-grant starter programs - to use and develop the resources of peripheral institutions; review of selection national science foundation program managers; reviewing reviewers; less reliance on program summary scores; reexamine proposals that someone considers excellent; more appeals; blind review of technical aspects of proposals - before considering institution; small-grant programs for faculty travel. For institutions: special considerations for junior faculty and new faculty; have a grants and contracts office, teach graduate students career development; consider creative treatment of indirect costs. For individual scientists: devote considerable care to obtaining the best first job possible; negotiate in advance conditions (load, seed money, equipment, research assistants and associates) conducive to research and grants; learn grantsmanship and persistence, resubmission… ; network; continue seeking appropriate jobs if institutions block progress

Sir John Cockroft, the Organization of Research Establishments, 1966

I decided that one approach to effective study of research organizations is to review descriptions of actual operations. This book, though twenty years old (1987), describes a number of leading British (mostly), American (bell labs), and European (CERN) research organizations in the words of (usually) their chief administrators. These men are leaders in their fields. A 1990's version of this book is needed. This type of book is a good complement to any “how to” publication… see a review and a summary of key points on research management

Review: Sir John Cockroft, Ed., the Organization of Research Establishments, 1966

This is a valuable book describing experience in administration of research at a number of research establishments (eleven British, one United States - bell labs, and one European - CERN, European organization for nuclear research). The chapter authors are accomplished individuals - usually the directors of the organization. A spectrum of organizations is discussed - national, industrial, multinational (CERN). The function and operation of the organizations is considered as it relates to performance. Organization is considered in its situation specific and experiential aspects. An introduction and a final chapter discuss, in a more generalized way, conditions for creativity, quality and a well-run establishment

Introduction: John Cockroft

A good director, clear objectives, good selection of staff, a good intellectual environment, efficient but minimal organization - are important in basic research. Applied research is more complex: because of the size, and need, in industry, to choose profitable lines of work. The additional problems are organization of research and responsibility; selection, from among basic research findings, of projects which can be applied profitably to the objectives - that is, applied research projects which include the resolution of practical problems, often initially unforeseen; elimination of projects - it may be valuable to recognize at the original point of selection that some projects will not work out, and, in some optimal sense, work this into selection; the problems of development, including building of prototypes which comes after development

Additional considerations: focusing: the work of a group or groups of scientists - perhaps from several different disciplines; cross fertilization: between divisions and coordination - and prevention of growth of barriers; provision of a first-class information system ; human relations: the creative ideas of young scientists should flow upward and be quickly considered; provision of facilities; fair and democratic selection and promotion; recognition of “support” personnel (technicians, clerical staff, draftsmen, craftsmen, skilled and unskilled workers); good relations between scientists and administrators: facilitation of the scientists' work by provision of services and financial control - overall administration (such as, annual budget) is central, but detailed decision (expenditure within budget) are best done by divisions or groups (with administrative assistance for control); avoiding the inefficiency of over-administration

The Research Establishments

These chapters are interesting and useful. They show the genesis of principle; the response to specific needs; a variety of structures; interactions with industry, universities, government; role in overall socio-technical change; questions of centralization and size; role of leadership; and so on

What Makes a Good Research Establishment - Sir Edward Bullard

1. Objective: central problem of management of research - how to keep scientists happy and productive. Difficulties due to difference between research and university laboratories

2. Assessment: climate of opinion - a key in research productivity

3. Considerations: combining people with different attitudes to work: researcher, technician, etc. Researchers: “like working on problems of their own choosing, with adequate facilities, in a pleasant place, with colleagues of similar tastes, in a society that values the kind of work and is willing to pay a competitive price for it.”

4. Solutions: a pleasant environment is reasonably easy to provide but requires awareness and money. Scientists can be persuaded (often enough) to work on new problems of importance to the establishment provided the relevance of the problem to an important overall scheme or picture is shown and if the rest of the group is enthusiastic about the project work

On selection: projects: must be selected and revised within the constraints of budget, facilities and staff according to criteria of usefulness (practicability) and diversity (some); staff and facilities must not be overtaxed to the point of inefficiency; value of projects is determined by value if successful and probability of success. The problem of stopping work on a project that is no longer important or useful or budgetable must be addressed and acted on, but is difficult because of personal investment. Perhaps the best resolution lies in an understanding, and even involvement, by the staff of the factors of selection. This problem is also of importance to avoid individual stagnation and production of rounded and useful research personnel. The problem of importance - long term - is difficult. It is one of choices - but the author does not address the question of this choice. Chance is undoubtedly a factor. However, rationality is possible (1) through a network of research institutions - some regional, national or industrial coalition, and work at different levels (basic, applied), at universities, government facilities, industry and (2) factors of invention discussed in area 5.4 of “design” in evolution and design

On Administration

Balance between personnel and proper equipment is important. Selection of personnel is important. Equipment is important. The decision as to basic lines of research should be central, but beyond this a great degree of decentralization is desirable. The size of the autonomous groups will depend on the needs for research, the needs for autonomy and the limits of communication for group coherence. The scope of each division should be such that one first-rate scientist can cover it. The individual doing the job should be encouraged and advised, occasionally redirected, but not interfered with. Coordination of the divisions is both by “command” and by “communication”. Control is financial - including facilities - and by access to central services. As far as possible, within the limits of expense, “every group should control the tools of its trade”

Problems of Older Institutions

In new or expanding organizations, the atmosphere of impermanence, improvisation and chance is conducive to creativity. In an “equilibrium” environment means of maintaining efficiency are important. Part of the problem is turnover and promotion. If internal and external opportunities for situational, financial and status enhancement are limited, there is little external incentive. Part of the resolution must be in maintaining internal motivation and quality of the establishment - such factors are involved even in quality and excellence in growing establishments

A List of Possible Internal Motivation Factors

1. Personal - leadership, 2. Adventure - intellectual, 3. Academic advancement - recognition, publication, 4. Social commitment - contingency effort such as war, disaster; or humanitarianism, patriotism, 5. Universal factors - which are related to item 2

Peter F. Drucker, the Concept of the Organization, 1946

_____, the Practice of Management, 1954

_____, the Frontiers of Management, 1986

Some topics:

1. Selecting people: job-assignment description is important; steps: a. Think through the assignment, b. Look at a number of potentially qualified people, c. Think hard about how to look at the candidates - what are the strengths each possesses and are these the right strengths for the job, 4. Discuss each of the candidates with several people who have worked with them, 5. Make sure the appointee understands the job

2. On quality education: the 1900 excellence in education was due to the need for education in escaping grueling labor. This had community support. This situation changed; but now knowledge will be at a premium again and education will return to excellence

3. The information-based organization: the traditional organization is based on command and authority. Information is generated at the top, and flows down. In the information-based organization information is generated at each appropriate level and flow is circular - and, according to need, this requires shared values (management by objectives) and shared language at all levels and self-discipline. As a result, organizational structure is “flat”, fast-acting, responding, flexible and conducive to diversity

4. The innovative organization (Citibank, 3M): management is encouraging of new ideas, development support, high risk; but knows when to pull out

Peter F. Drucker, Technology, Management and Society: Essays, 1970

Management = entrepreneurship + administration + public relations

John Naisbitt, Megatrends: Ten New Directions for Transforming Our Lives, 1982

“By observing grassroots endeavors, future national trends can be predicted. Following his own tenet, Naisbitt's consulting organization reads hundreds of local newspapers from around the country to identify incipient trends. The resulting observations and predictions have proven valuable to educators, business leaders, politicians and a broad spectrum of Americans interested in the future.”

Comments: interesting in general, specific to the present: 1. Metaphors of governance and leadership - eight metaphors of governance are competitive market, administrative (formal, defined objectives), collective bargaining, democratic, consensus (apparent), anarchy (each individual makes autonomous decisions), independent judiciary (leadership without a constituency), plebiscitary autocracy… each metaphor implicitly prescribes a role for the president. 2. Effect of social milieu and operational formulas on centers of power. 3. Process of choice: garbage can model (related to 1, 2). 4. Logic of choice: educational policy, academic tenure (is not as costly as it appears… inflation, research… ), planning, power… little discussion of research.

Robert D. Peck, Entrepreneurship and Small College Leadership, 1983

“Defines opportunity consciousness as a leadership attitude whereby opportunities are expected to occur, opportunities to get things done, to advance the institution and help realize its potential despite all appearances to the contrary. Such opportunity consciousness is a continuing attention to changes in the environment, in the attitudes of people, and even in the values of society, to any change that can be turned to the advantage of the institution.”

Clark Kerr, Presidents Make a Difference, 1985

Clark Kerr, “Leadership Begins with Your President”, Agb Reports, (January-February 1985)

Kerr claimed that pressures on leadership in America have become tremendous, and this is especially true in academia where fifty percent of presidents are prevented from effective leadership by state boards, students, faculty, media, federal, state and local government… however, Kerr maintains that the college president is the key to effective leadership… and that the president must remain involved in academic leadership decisions

The University - Nine Reviews

Planning the Development of Universities

Victor G. Onushkin, Planning the Development of Universities, Vol. I 1971, Vol. II 1973, UNESCO, International Institute for Educational Planning

Objectives of the IIEP Project “Planning the Development of Universities”:

1. Analyze important tendencies in development of universities; valuable experiences in university planning and management

2. Formulate a system of university planning and management tools and methods to (a) reveal hidden or under-utilized resources and (b) better adapt the university to socio-economic needs, (c) meet a variety of contingency needs

Efficiency in Universities

Keith G. Lumsden, Efficiency in Universities: the La Paz Papers, 1974

“The book is concerned with the crucial issue of how university education can be improved. The papers tackle the issue from many angles, but they share the economic framework of analysis… “

Contains: I survey of the issues, II the role of the university, III the university as a productive unit, IV new techniques in universities; references

The survey considers problems in planning the university. In II the following roles are considered: a. As a symbol, repository and as a source of advance of civilization; b. As a home for “research” - the advance of production of knowledge; c. Information storage - media and human; d. Teaching - professional and general education… the economic function of university education falls under three conceptions: the “maturation” hypothesis, the “filtering” hypothesis, and the “human capital” hypothesis

The Idea of a University

Kenenth R. Minogue, the Concept of a University, 1973

This book argues that the nature of a university is not to be found in any one of its “functions” - in fact, that the notion of function is an external notion (the appropriateness of concern with function is not in question). Four aspects (at least) are identified:

The academic: concern with knowledge - verification and growth; a slow process of evolution; the occasioned adventure (religious in nature!); the steadfast refusal to turn understanding into a kind of vulgar esotericism

Intelligence: by no means the essence or prerogative of academics (though not absent from academics)

Practicality: concern with ends of various individuals and socio-economic types: ideology, social transformation, journalism, dialectic

Intellect: an aspect of function

It is the gathering of people together for the first purpose, the academic, which defines the origin and intrinsic nature of the “university”

Vision and Purpose in Higher Education

Raymond F. Howes, Ed., Vision and Purpose in Higher Education: Twenty College Presidents Examine Developments During the Past Decade, 1962

Interesting as a historical record of higher education in the United States in the 1950s. Topics include:

1. Education of Americans in values of democracy and American policing for a free world (Keith Chalmers: “education and America's need”);

2. Problems - selection and enhancement of “genius”; purpose, enrollments and related issues - teachers, plant, money, freedom, curriculum; development of teacher-scholars; retirement policy - relation to enrollment, fixed age or other; education in international relations; diversity and strength; universities as agencies of conservation or question and exploration (Margaret Clapp, “major problems in higher education”);

3. Functions - education for international understanding in an age of persuasion - specialized training for individual independence; balance of specialization with overview of breadth and education for learning; development of communication skills; fostering of wisdom - including how to learn select knowledge relevant to a particular problem - this should permeate the entire educational program; an understanding of commitment to democratic ideals and way of life; thinking in global, national and local terms - includes understanding of the social, economic, political and military problems of the world (Milton s. Eisenhower, “education for international understanding”);

4. The problems of expanding enrollments and the junior and community college, state university, research university (California) system;

5. Quality in quantity: “near the dawn of our civilization, Aristotle wrote 'all who have meditated on the art of governing mankind have been convinced that the fate of empires depends on the education of the youth'. Today he most certainly would have to revise his statement: it is civilization itself that is at stake.” (Erica Walker);

6. Problems - education for a new age; dual mandate of quantity and quality; economy of time and effort; social interpretation of education; diversity of institutions and integrity of function; size; liberal arts; tradition and change; excellence (Virgil M. Hancer, “the challenge we face”);

7. Public support - understanding and backing (Nathan M. Pusey, “the need for public support”);

8. Ideas: great ideas on great issues that lead to successful practical action;

9. Problems and solutions: teaching and research should include teaching as a topic - to improve teaching; education should self-review and change as society and the interdependent institutions change;

10. Research priorities: problems - unevenness in spread of research among disciplines and across activities; inadequate emphasis on basic research (basic, applied. development, design… without basic research there is no foundation for the rest); contributions of university research: training of research workers, knowledge pool, advisory and consultative faculty function regarding business and government; foundation for research: faculty salaries, funding - amount and relatively unrestricted to permit basic research programs, space and equipment are as important as fellowships and awards, the role of the research teacher in society should be more broadly understood to attract young talent to teaching; the relation between the research function of higher education and business and government progress should be given greater public display… the public should understand the relation between education and general prosperity and security (David a. Henry, “new priorities in research”);

11. On teaching and research: both are forms of learning and in both, in the university, the student and teacher work together: in teaching, the teacher encourages the student to learn and develop learning skills from sources of recorded knowledge and by simulating or initiating learning from nature; in research student and teacher learn together from nature and experience, the student benefiting from the teacher's experience. This continual learning is “essential” because human “ignorance is so colossal”… in research “younger men and older men are learning together”… the “moderately difficult barrier which must be passed when we go from the known to the unknown… is not as high as one might think. To understand scientific principles by confining oneself to reading books has proved for most people to be not very feasible or satisfactory. One must go to nature with questions - sometimes to verify, sometimes the better to understand what has been reported. It is often then but a step to ask new questions and secure new answers.” (Lee A. Dubridge, “companions in zealous learning”),

12. “Lyman Bryson says that universities may be the only instrumentalities in our society which are adequately fitted to deal with what he calls the 'strategy of culture'“… overriding priority must be given to teaching and intellectual inquiry (research, etc.), But there is, additionally, a changing role of universities: the interaction with society. Three types of interaction are: (1) independent faculty consultation and research. Not necessarily requiring administrative action but with certain hazards - the danger of interference with the primary objectives of the university; however, the potential for generating moving ideas is great: on the principle of withdrawal and return to the world; (2) those activities, because of the extent of involvement and commitment, require administrative action and require examination as to compatibility with and benefits to the central values and missions of the university; (3) fields in which the university has continuing institutional responsibility; examples in this group are pre-college education; professional education and leadership in the professions; and international affairs… however these should not detract from the university's central missions. Teaching and intellectual inquiry: these are the springs of the university's strength and vitality and the starting point of any coherent conception of the university's role in our society

The Uses of the University

Clark Kerr, the Uses of the University, 1963, 2nd Ed. 1972, 3rd Ed. 1982

An attempt to describe and evaluate some significant new developments in American higher education. The key historical ideas are the concepts of the university, according to Cardinal Newman (1852: “the high protecting power of all knowledge and science, of facts and principle, of inquiry and discovery, of experiment and speculation”… it prepares an individual “to fill any post with credit, and to master any subject with facility”. In John Henry, Cardinal Newman, The Idea Of a University ) and according to Abraham Flexner (1930: “the idea of a modern university… is not outside, but inside the social fabric of a given era” whereas the individual student and eternal “truths of natural order” were among Newman's ideals, there were, for Flexner, the needs of society and discovery of the new. Instead of the generalist, there was the specialist, observes Kerr of Flexner's university… for Flexner the university became “an institution consciously devoted to the pursuit of knowledge… and the training of men at a really high level”… in Abraham Flexner, universities: American, English, German, 1930). The writings of Newman and Flexner coincided with the decline of their concepts of the university. The developments discussed by Kerr are the “multiversity”… and “the federal grant university”. Projected areas of change are growth, shifting academic emphases, and involvement in the life of society. Changes for the future include instruction, unity and unification of intellect: responsiveness of administrations; especially in large universities, to the needs of faculty and students - at individual levels; and the problem of maintaining excellence in populist society

The University

Murray G. Ross, the University, 1976

Contains a brief history of the university (which is by no means the history of knowledge of even of science) and a discussion of the central issues of a university

Searching for Academic Excellence

J. Wade Gilley, Kenneth a. Fulmer, Sally J. Reithlingshoefer, Searching for Academic Excellence: Twenty Colleges and Universities on the Move and Their Leaders, 1986

Twenty universities - “good and verifiable cases of schools seeking for new levels of effectiveness, excellence, and or recognition, and achieving a degree of success for their efforts” form the basis of the work. Authors emphasize that the twenty not presented as the only or the best… and that their findings cannot necessarily be generalized to all of higher education… the universities were selected through a process of nomination, questionnaire and elimination… twenty universities were visited for detailed field studies

Qualities sought: improving quality, promoting efficiency, addressing major societal or educational issues, seeking new levels of excellence anticipating trends and issues

Major findings:

1. In no instance did state-level boards provide the initiative. Rather in the public institutions state agencies were one of the most significant obstacles to innovation and change

2. Ten characteristics were found, each common to at least three-fourths of the twenty institutions despite great variety in size, mission, control and location

3. The motivation forces to attainment of new levels of effectiveness, excellence and recognition were location, (overcoming) adversity and, most importantly, leadership

4. Most leaders brought with them to the presidency a parallel perspective - that is, experience with similar problems and situations

5. Nine emerging administrative trends among the twenty institutions

Ideas and suggestions for boards, presidents, others

1. Criteria of health:

Presence of a well-defined strategic mission (a statement ends and means - or goal and direction)

The strategic mission is well known

The strategic mission addresses relevant issues

Financial resources are increasing in real terms

External recognition is growing

Number and quality of students is increasing

Faculty quality is improving

Faculty initiative abounds

Strong proactive leadership is present… initiates action, rather than reacting to developments

The Idea of a Modern University

Sidney Hook, Paul Kurtz, Miro Todorovich, Eds., the Idea of a Modern University, 1974

The essays are from the university centers for rational alternatives conference, Rockefeller University, New York City, February 21-22, 1972. In the wake of the disruptions of academic life, 1968, etc., Universities were required to regroup their defenses (Todorovich's word) at a basic level. By late 1971 university campuses were “quiet” again. The reason for the collapse of academia was felt to be lack of commitment to academic, intellectual integrity. This, and related issues, are the theme of this book. The essays are grouped into three areas: I university higher education: promise or illusion?, II higher education under fire, and III the crucial problems of the modern university

The book is dated, but still of interest since some of the academic problems of the university in 1987 stem from the ethos of the 1965-1973 era. The contributors form a pantheon of stars from the universe of American humanistic education of that era

Many of the academic problems inherited from that era are only now, in 1987, being resolved on an operating level in American higher education
