Özet

The authors present an interactive simulation model on which the academic aspects of university' management can he analyzed and alternative management strategies tested. The model focuses specifically on long-term, dynamic, strategic management problems, such as growing student/faculty ratios, poor teaching quality, and low research productivity, it yields numerous performance measures about the fundamental activities in a university: teaching, research, and professional project activities. Results suggest that the university' management game (UNĪGAME) promises to he a useful technology to support strategic decision making and a laboratory for theoretical research on how to best deal with strategic university management problems. © 2000 Sage Publications, Inc.
