Wagner, John A., III; Van Dyne, Linn

Journal of Management Education, v23 n2 p123-42 Apr 1999

Four methods for large group instruction differ in control and coordination dimensions: (1) centralization with mutual adjustment; (2) centralization with standardization; (3) decentralization with standardization; and (4) decentralization with mutual adjustment. Other factors to consider include class size and interests of various constituencies: teaching staff, students, and institutional agents. (JOW)
