This includes changes within existing organizations as well as creation of new structures and reorganizations or eliminations of older ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis narrative attempts \u003ci\u003efirst\u003c\/i\u003e to document the historical rise of an organization, Georgia Tech’s College of Computing, that has touched and successfully changed the lives of thousands of people. \u003ci\u003eSecond\u003c\/i\u003e, it aims to identify and explicate some of what has led to this widely acknowledged success. The book provides a chronological narrative that highlights major changes taken under each successive leader. These changes have built on one another, knowingly or otherwise, to create a growing organization that rivals in size and prominence longer established parts of the university. The case study, while of an academic organization focused on computing, provides general lessons applicable almost anywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTopics and features:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscusses the nature and uses of visions, both general and specific\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShows how visions can be used to drive specific actions and resource allocations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIllustrates the choice and use of enduring organizational principles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutlines a simple strategic-planning method and its application\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndicates results of this overall approach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of interest to anyone interested in organizational change, especially in academia, and to those interested in Georgia Tech.
