  • Stories of Integration, Differentiation, and Fragmentation: One University's Culture
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 428 408 CS 510 026 AUTHOR Kramer, Michael W.; Berman, Julie E. TITLE Stories of Integration, Differentiation, and Fragmentation: One University's Culture. PUB DATE 1998-11-00 NOTE 31p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the National Communication Association (84th, New York, NY, November 21-24, 1998). PUB TYPE Reports Research (143) Speeches/Meeting Papers (150) EDRS PRICE MF01/PCO2 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Communication Research; Higher Education; *Organizational Climate; *Organizational Communication; *Story Telling; *Student Attitudes; Universities; Values ABSTRACT This study examined the culture of a university by analyzing its stories. Stories were collected over a period of five years at a large midwestern research university. Results suggest that a strong student subculture is frequently in conflict with the organization's dominant tradition-based culture. Stories illustrate the conflict between these two, as well as provide examples of unity between them. Other stories are ambiguous, not clearly espousing any values. In this way, the analysis suggests the importance of using all three perspectives on organizational culture defined by J. Martin (1992). The results seem applicable to studying other organizations as well, since stories of conflict and unity may provide insight into organizations' cultures. Contains 21 references and a figure illustrating the typology of organizational stories.

  • News Release
    News Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FROM DAKTRONICS INC. University of Missouri to Upgrade Sports Facilities with Daktronics Video and Scoring Displays BROOKINGS, S.D. – May 4, 2009 – Daktronics Inc (Nasdaq-DAKT) of Brookings, S.D., announced today that the University of Missouri has chosen the company to design, manufacture and install integrated scoring and video display systems at various athletic venues on their Columbia, Mo., campus. The multi-million dollar upgrades, designed to greatly enhance the game-day experience, are scheduled to be complete in time for the upcoming sports seasons. Project development and design was achieved through a partnership between University of Missouri – Campus Facilities and leading sports technology consulting firm Wrightson, Johnson, Haddon & Williams, Inc. Financing for the project was possible from long-time University of Missouri partner - Mizzou Sports Properties - a property of Learfield Sports. "We’re very pleased to be working with such a prestigious company as Daktronics for these projects, they’re certainly among the very best at what they do," said Director of Athletics Mike Alden. "We look forward to these projects complementing our outstanding facilities and being great additions to the game-day experiences for our fans." Tiger fans and athletes will be welcomed by a monumental new video display and custom scoreboard at Memorial Stadium/Faurot Field. Daktronics HD-X technology and its control system allow for complete flexibility in programming. Mizzou's new video board, to measure approximately 30 feet high x 80 feet wide, will be able to serve as a single giant display or be divided into multiple zones (windows) to show a wide variety of statistics, information, graphics, animation and live and recorded video.
