Strategic Planning for 2010 Dr Randall Harris Department of Management, Operations and Marketing
The University In short there is no vision, nor is there a set of competing visions, of what an educated human being is. The question has disappeared, for to pose it would be a threat to the peace. - Allan Bloom, The Closing of the American Mind We have to recognize that the University is a ruined institution, while thinking what it means to dwell in those ruins without recourse to romantic nostalgia... My argument is that the market structure of the post-historical University makes the figure of the student as consumer more and more a reality... - Bill Readings, The University in Ruins One issue central to the debates among the postmodern movements is the commodification of education and knowledge. Science is transformed from the master legitimation of modernism into yet another sector of commodified production, with knowledge becoming both a product to be sold and a good to be consumed. - Robert Gephart, Postmodern Management and Organizational Theory
The University is Big Business • The US has at least 5 million College & University students. • This figure is 10 times the number in 1939. • US Universities “earn” at least $175 billion per year (2x size of airline industry). • Universities are increasingly being scrutinized much like any other business. • Business Models, as a result, are being introduced into academic planning processes.

Key Strategic Questions • Where is the University now? (Not where do we hope that it is). • If no changes are made, where will the University be in five years? • If the answers to the first two questions are unacceptable, what specific actions should we undertake? What risks and payoffs are involved?
Crafting a Strategy • Question: Is strategy formulation a totally rational process, or does is consist exclusively of power and coalition formation? • Rational-Deductive School • Power and Coalition School • Henry Mintzburg: The best strategies are crafted out of both. • The Paradox: Purely deliberate strategies preclude learning once the strategy is formulated. However, purely emergent strategies preclude control. • Kierkegaard – • “Life is lived forward but understood backward.”
Setting Objectives for CSU, Stanislaus • What is to be accomplished, when it will be done, and how it can be measured. • Good objectives accomplish several things: • (1) provide guidance, • (2) effect planning, • (3) provide motivation, and • (4) form the basis for evaluating activity. • Objectives should be derived from and congruent with the mission of the organization (mission-driven).
Setting Objectives for CSU, Stanislaus • Objectives should be doable. • Objectives should be measurable. • Objectives need to be selective. The University can only focus on so much at any point in time. • Objectives may be in conflict. This is due to one objective being in conflict with another (selective attention as a coping mechanism). • Everybody attends to objectives when they are rewarded for doing so.
Key External Issues • Declining State support for the CSU System. • Increased Emphasis on Alternative channels for University revenues. • Uncertain political climate in Sacramento. • Structural state deficits in Sacramento. • Increased public scrutiny of CSU operations.

Land used by agriculture declined by only 2,184 acres between 1998 and 2000, or 0.05% of the total. Crop production value was almost $1.4 billion— a 1% increase over 2001 and a 14.25% increase over 2000. Water use in Stanislaus County was high, with irrigation accounting for 90% of all fresh water withdrawals. In 1995, per capita use of fresh water in gallons per day was 3,475 in Stanislaus County compared with 1,130 on average in the state. Much of the county’s job growth occurred in the non-farm, service, government, and retail sectors. In spite of this growth, unemployment in the county increased from 10.2% in 2001 to 11.4% in 2002 and rates remain 4 or 5 percentage points higher than the state average. 1,056 acres were added to “urban and built up” land.

California Population Pressures California is one of the fastest growing states in the Union and its high school graduate cohort is expected to increase over 18% between 2000-01 and 2009-10 from 319,870 students to 388,721 students. As stated in the President’s Strategic Goals for 2001-02, the University is expected to grow to 10,000 students by 2008 provided that funding from the state supports that rate of growth. The opening of the University of California at Merced in the fall of 2005 will provide increased competition in recruiting the highest quality students in the valley. The Latino population over this same period will grow by 59.5%, and the Asian/Pacific Islander will grow at a rate of 17.6%. African American growth will be slower at 15%, and the state’s white population will decline by 19% Source: CSUS Office of Enrollment Management

Master Planning Issues • Current Campus Theoretical Maximums • 12,000 FTES • 15,000 Student Headcount • 2 million sq. ft. of building space • We are at approx. 50% of FTES Maximum • Approx. 1 million sq. ft of building space • Science 2 will add 680 FTE and 857 Headcount to this estimate. • Current Projections suggest we will reach our maximum build out around 2020.
Conclusions • Enrollment in 2010 likely at • 10,000 Student Headcount • 7,500 FTES • Budgetary Pressures Continue • Increasingly Diverse Student Body • Two Fundamental Educational Issues • Core Educational Mission to Address “Lag” • Increasing pressure to address professional and specialized training needs
