| Title: | Managing in Higher Education: The ‘Wicked Issues’ |
| Author: | Watson, D. |
| Abstract: | Using the concept of ‘wicked’ or ‘slushy’ issues in social policy, the author presents a taxonomy of such problems faced by managers in universities and colleges. Groups of problems include: those shared with all large and complex enterprises; those affecting the public services with special force; and those peculiar to higher education. He concludes with some reflections on management reactions to such problems. |
