Escalating demands for accountability in education by stakeholders is on the forefront of the education agenda. Faced with less funding, declining enrollments, stagnant retention and completion rates, increased competition with non-profits, technological advances, and spiraling infrastructure expenses, decision-makers often use mergers to address these issues. This study describes the effects of a State-mandated merger of a traditionally White two-year technical college with a historically Black two-year technical college. The findings of this study are in congruence with the literature on large-scale organizational change, organizational culture, and institutional effectiveness. This research has confirmed that educational mergers, in general, are often faced with sizeable challenges for educational leaders. These challenges include, most prominently, organizational culture, which may have profound influence on student outcomes and institutional effectiveness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mimi Johnson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3639056469\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783639056464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e VDM Verlag Dr. Mueller E.K.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/08\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.38d","brand":"Mimi Johnson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48486965903615,"sku":"9783639056464","price":73.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_09acac58-7e02-4ca5-8e1e-83f6a1c4deda.jpg?v=1778057450","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/managing-organizational-change-in-an-mimi-johnson-9783639056464","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
