| Tiivistelmä: | During the last 30 years, increasing formalization of disciplined management of U.K. universities has been accompanied by moves to express universities' strategies. In this complex change in the orientation of universities' management, it is argued that there have been very significant errors and weaknesses in the introduction of such models of strategy, particularly in the stress on strategic planning rather than strategic process and in the insensitivity of universities' planning to the underlying strategy process of the typical university. Most universities mistake planning, and even budgeting, for strategy itself, failing to make proper sense of their own organizations' processes of generating strategies and putting them into practice. Typically, they have missed the crucial context of strategy and change. It is argued that there are crucial lessons to be learnt from recent advances in theorizing about strategy in the private or commercial sector, particularly in relation to the development of modelling complex and path-dependent systems etc. |
