Title: An Approach for Improved Planning in Colleges.
Abstract: This paper develops an approach for the improvement of planning in colleges. The approach consists of three parallel tracks: (1) Definition of a planning process (2) Development of plans for the college and its units (3) Development of a planning information system The tracks are mutually supportive, and implementation of all three tracks is essential for effective planning. The approach results in two types of output documents: (1) a planning procedures manual and (2) a planning book consisting of college plans, unit plans, and regular planning information. If the approach is successfully implemented, an institution should have less crises oriented management, more effective resource utilization, and a better means of adapting to its environment. This paper describes the proposed approach in some detail, and it indicates how to proceed with implementation.
