Top to Bottom Reengineering: University System of Maryland Enhances Productivity, Improves Accountability, and Maintains Quality
Kirwan, William E.
New Directions for Higher Education, n140 p41-49 Win 2007

This chapter examines how the University System of Maryland repositioned itself as a state system able to thrive in an era of permanently diminished resources and perpetually escalating demands.
