The C of E needs to be managed — but how? More attention needs to be paid to the variety of perspectives in organisational theory, argues Keith Elford

"What is less often recognised is that the Church lacks a grasp of the breadth and possibilities found in organisation theory, and would do well to think more widely and deeply about it. The Church has to be managed; the question is not whether, but how, and by what principles."

America’s Children Are Unwell. Are Schools Part of the Problem?

The problem isn't"schools."
State and federal governments did this, believing that they could manage what happens in the classroom using test scores and other measures. Massachusetts can't let the idea go.

When I say that #NeoLiberalism has destroyed #Universities globally. This is exactly what I mean. #Managerialism means CEOs are paid millions while academic staff languish in poverty.

How to ruin a university | Terence Kealey | The Critic Magazine The experiment of empowering councils and disempowering senates has failed, and we need to remodel our universities’ governance

How Ruin a University - There is a managerial cancer afflicting the higher education sector - thecritic.co.uk/how-to-ruin-... #HigherEducation #Crisis #Managerialism

When I was still in the workforce (and was blessed with my own office) I often wondered how much the "savings" from open-plan offices were costing in terms of lost productivity.

Another win for #managerialism. 😖

Is there a more cowardly sight than University higher ups announcing redundancies, refusing to take questions, and then running away? HE is in shit because of you and the government not hard working academic staff. I loath entirely. #HigherEducation #University #Neoliberalism #Managerialism #Cowards

Is a university degree still worth it? The pay premium for graduates is on the decline, while the sector is a mess and academics are asking whether we have reached “peak university”.

I think massive expansion of the HE sector that happened in the UK because political parties from the early 1990’s saw it as the answer to record unemployment levels among 18-25 year olds due to industrial decline in the West is being deliberately popped by #managerialism with Government connivance
