 PDF |
|
ABSTRACT This paper presents opportunities for introducing network organization model and federalization principles on universities with the goal of raising the quality of learning outcomes and improving the efficiency of universities and its faculties. Organizational analysis was conducted on the example of the University of Belgrade which is the biggest university in the Republic of Serbia. Study suggests the creation of “super departments” and more specialized departments, via outsourcing of teaching staff and their expertise between member units of the university. Proposed solutions are applicable to all of the teaching courses that are organized in more than one study program at different faculties within the university. Described organizational changes can have various positive impacts on both quality of studies and saving costs for the universities. |
