Pivotal-Centrall-Platformed Structure:A Reform Idea on the Layout of University Institutions
Institutions are the most stable organizational force that can reflect the university governance ability.The changes in internal and external conditions and needs have brought Chinese universities to the historical juncture where they need to carry out a relayout of institutions.However,the"subject logic"and the governance challenges it brings mean that university institutional reform needs to be transformed into a new thinking of holistic design.Starting from this thinking,this article proposes a new type of organizational structure that can be used for the rearrangement of university institutions,namely pivotal-centrall-platformed structure(PCP structure).The PCP structure has a wide range of applicability,including three main parts:"decision-making center","production center",and"governance platform".The layout based on PCP structure is conducive to combining the overall advantages of the university party committee and president,the professional management advantages of functional departments,and the technical advantages of the data platform.To fully utilize the effectiveness of PCP structure,it is necessary to adopt and design four basic institutional arrangements and three key work processes.
