Some Alternatives

• Hierarchical versus collaborative

  • Are ideas solicited? How? How much?
  • How are decisions reached?
  • Example: how are teaching assignments, major requirements

• Information as power versus open communication

  • Some matters confidential, but
  • Are policy drafts, reports, options distributed? When? To whom?

• Promoting status quo versus finding ways to support innovation

  • Is main reaction "NO"?
  • Is approach how to make ideas happen?
