revealed that college and university administration is virgin territory for research. Millett (33) and, to a large degree, Corson (9) strongly support the hypothesis that existing theories of organizational behavior and administration may not be applicable to present-day universities. They indicate that governmental agencies and business corporations have an internal organization which is unlike that of the university. Among the differences mentioned are these: the goals of the university are not specific and clearly defined; the product or service produced is not tangible; the customer (student) exerts limited influence; the employees (faculty) are dedicated to their specialized fields, not to the employing institution; and the decisionmaking process is diffused in a way not typical of other forms of organization. Such differences suggest the inadequacy of present theories on problems of university administration and the incontestable and urgent need for new thinking and new approaches to research in this field
