Book excerpt: Professor Park offers a groundbreaking tutorial on how young faculty members can succeed in implementing visions for administrative improvement in the university, an institution traditionally resistant to change. Most recent Ph.D. recipients have never taken a course in leadership, administration, or management, so to succeed as agents of change they must learn new skills. Fortunately, faculty members are by their very nature quick learners, and, given a few basic principles, are likely to succeed. This unique volume uses actual administrative case studies to cover the constituencies aspiring administrators will encounter: faculty members, students, alumni, temporary faculty, staff, and governing boards. While technology and economic circumstances change often, the deepest beliefs, fears, and fundamental behaviors of these university personnel remain much the same today as they were one hundred years ago.
