Please join me in congratulating Dr. Kate Schiefen! Kate completed her PhD in Education from Capella University (specialization: Leadership for Higher Education). Her dissertation is titled: Entrepreneurial Orientation of Community College Workforce Divisions and the Impact of Organizational Structure: A Grounded Theory Study. It was a qualitative study involving two workforce divisions that are separate within the organizational structure and two that are integrated across the organizational structure. As a result of her study, three theories emerged applicable to both models and aligns with other scholarly work suggesting that higher education reexamine itself as a functionally structured organization.
We are all proud of Kate’s accomplishment!
