Why It Matters
My lab is the university. I need to understand it not as a school, but as a 'Professional Bureaucracy' (Mintzberg) under pressure.
What To Learn
- Institutional Logic of HE: The tension between 'Academic Professionalism' and 'Market/Managerialism'.
- Isomorphism (DiMaggio & Powell): Why do all universities adopt the same AI policies? (Coercive, Mimetic, Normative pressures).
- Stakeholder Theory: Balancing the conflicting demands of Students (Users), Parents (Payers), and Employers (Validators).
