How Scholars Trumped Teachers
Examining a century of university history, Larry Cuban tackles the age-old question: What is more important, teaching or research? Using two departments (history and medicine) at Stanford University as a case study, Cuban shows how universities have organizationally and politically subordinated teaching to research for over one hundred years. He explains how university reforms, decade after decade, not only failed to dislodge the primacy of research but actually served to strengthen it. He examines the academic work of research and teaching to determine how each has influenced university structures and processes, including curricular reform. Can the dilemma of scholars vs. teachers ever be fully reconciled? This fascinating historical journey is a must read for all university administrators, faculty, researchers, and anyone concerned with educational reform.
Consequences of Rewards
This dissertation focuses on how status and rewards jointly impact the creation, perpetuation and erosion of social inequality. Rewards are objects or positions that come to have differential levels of prestige when they are affiliated with groups of varying status, such as certain types of educational degrees, technologies, awards, and the like. Expectations about who we are and what we should be able to achieve are formed based on a combination of both our characteristics and displayed status markers. The first study experimentally tests whether rewards have the power to create entirely new status characteristics and bases of inequality. The second study is an examination of how assessments of competence and trustworthiness systematically bias the distribution of rewards and, thereby, the perpetuation of inequality, by examining how lenders perceive loan applicants and make funding decisions in experimentally created lending markets. The third study explores whether rewards have the power to neutralize status-based inequality when low status individuals are rewarded with markers of a much higher honorific value than members of high status groups.

Transforming Public Leadership for the 21st Century
The forces of globalization are shifting our world, including the public sector, away from hierarchy and command and control toward one of collaboration and networks. The way public leadership is thought about and practiced must be, and is being, transformed. This volume in the "Transformational Trends in Governance & Democracy" series explores what the shift looks like and also offers guidance on what it should look like. Specifically, the book focuses on the role of "career leaders" - those in public service - who are agents of change not only in their own organizations, but also in their communities and policy domains. These leaders work in network settings, making connections and collaborating to create public value and advance the common good. Featuring the insights of an authoritative group of contributors, the volume offers a mix of scholarship, from philosophical discussions to conceptual models to empirical studies that, taken together, will help inform the transformation of public leadership that is already underway.
Information Management for the Intelligent Organization
Information is the organisation's strategic resource, yet much of the information that an organisation recieves, is nuance and innuendo; more of a potential that a prescription for action. This book will help you gain an understanding of how an organisation may manage its information processes more effectively in order to increase its capacity to learn and adapt.
