| Abstract: | This case study gives an analytical account of institutional development in induction provision.Driven by student experience concerns, a London post-1992 University set up an ‘enhanced induction project’ to provide a more integrated, personalised approach through more coordinated processes. In a large, diverse context, university-wide working is problematic; issues about control and autonomy are illustrated by this action research. Significant change has been achieved in a developmental process shaped by and revealing the interplay of differing organisational cultures. Critical reflection on change management, from practice and strategy to policy and embedding, draws on a range of work on organisational cultures. |
