• W90436393 abstract "Introduction Hitch your wagon to a star, Ralph Waldo Emerson During past two decades, research in most of Western world, especially publicly funded research, has changed radically as a result of greater political interest in practical value of research, in effective utilization of limited resources, and in importance of making research visible to public (Erno-Kjolhede, Husted, Monsted, & Wenneberg, 2001). A new approach to research administration and management is therefore necessary to cope with increasing focus on application and capitalization of research, even in university settings (Erno-Kjolhede et al., 2001). In this situation even small organizations must develop research profiles and action plans that are consistent with their clearly formulated vision and strategy. These tools are crucial for permitting research administrators to improve and promote good quality research and be successful in obtaining grants and contracts for their institutions. However, knowledge-based institutions have a unique organizational form and culture that makes special demands on strategic planning (Erno-Kjolhede et al., 2001; Husted, 2002). To meet this challenge, research administrators at The Research Unit for General Practice (RU), a small knowledge-based organization, used a model for dynamic strategic planning based on a pragmatic utilization of multitude of existing models (Ackoff, 1987; Johnsen, 1994; Lynch, 1997; Peters & Waterman, 1982). The methods and experiences that emerged at RU may benefit other research administrators and managers who seek to involve their staff in work on vision and strategy. Working with Strategic Planning in a Professional, Knowledge-based Organization A carefully prepared strategy is important to success of enterprises and institutions (Erno-Kjolhede et al., 2001), but strategies must reflect particular circumstances of individual organization. In 1983 Mintzberg referred to universities as professional bureaucracies, in which professionals enjoy a relatively high degree of autonomy in their work and administrative decisions are made on a collegial basis (Mintzberg, 1983). The research staff is hired because of its expert knowledge and, to a great extent, manages itself. For example, individual researcher is more knowledgeable about potential in his or her own field (Husted, 2002). As Mintzberg (1989) writes, a organization is the one place in world where you can act as if you were self-employed yet regularly receive a pay check (p. 173). This extensive autonomy and specialization pose particular management challenges, as traditional top-down management does not function well in bureaucracies in which staff tend to pursue interests and values of their community rather than those of their managers. How can management involve staff in strategic planning of a professional, knowledge-based organization? Most employees of organizations are not accustomed to working with visions, strategies and action plans. In a university environment, most of staff consists of experienced researchers who are trained and eager to doubt accepted truths. Here, where definitions and models are usually negotiable, care must be taken not to present strategic planning as a set of fixed terms and concepts, as this could potentially create opposition and stagnation. An alternate approach is to employ a strategic planning model without strictly defining terms vision and strategy. Hence, staff can make loosely defined concepts of vision and strategy operational, and develop model intuitively, rather than within a hide-bound framework. However, framework cannot be completely discarded, as it must provide structure to discussion. Keeping concepts fluid allows strategy to remain flexible, thus enabling management to act and enable individual staff members to take ownership of strategy. …" @default.
