Enrollment Decline: Perceptions and Responses.

Parker, Barbara; Zammuto, Raymond F.

Review of Higher Education, v10 n1 p63-84 Fall 1986

Two perspectives on decline are identified: environmental constraints and organizational process and choice. Each perspective is described, identified, and tested on a sample of small-to-medium size universities and colleges. The results indicate that organizational responses to decline are shaped by how members perceive decline. (Author/MLW)
