A System for Management Control in Private Colleges

A systematic procedure is described whereby private colleges may establish long-range objectives and allocate their limited resources to programs that are most productive in fulfilling these objectives. Dynamic relationships are identified among the economic variables that are responsible for the problems these colleges presently face, and an orderly procedure is offered for coping with these problems. The procedure provides for a long-range planning process, a responsibility-center organization structure, a program-budgeting process, and a technique for reconciling program budgets with the accounting system. Results of the actual application of this system to a private college are reported
