Throughout this essay, I will be presenting detailed information regarding my position on Bethel University: College of Professional Studies’ organizational structure and the function it has within the higher education industry. Additionally, I will provide historical background information, as well as, compare Bethel University’s current organizational structure to modern management theory and applicable frameworks. With the assistance of Bolman and Deal’s (2017) “Reframing Organizations: Artistry, Choice, and Leadership (6th ed.), I will have the opportunity to present and identify current structural strengths and weaknesses, in comparison to Bethel University’s overall mission and productivity.

Over the course of this essay, I will utilize these theories of management to gain a more well-rounded perspective of Bethel University’s organizational structure, as well as, the importance of metaphors to gauge institutional effectiveness.
