The play management, emerging theory for university organizational change

Abstract

A traditional organization is one in which a bureaucratic, centralized, pyramidal and inflexible functional structure predominates, with a detailed division of labor. Employees are considered as factors of production, to the detriment of their creative potential. The Venezuelan public university organization could well be classified as orthodox and traditional, with usual management systems incapable of assuming the natural changes demanded by the national conglomerate at a given moment. Given the situation raised, it is peremptory to implement emerging management models that enhance internal processes in Venezuelan public universities; extensive to Universities of other latitudes. Given the above conditions, the theoretical notion of Play Management is proposed, which would be the result of adapting the intrinsic characteristics of recognized science-games, such as chess and the magic cube, to the university organizational dynamics. This innovative model aims to promote internal management towards sustainable stadiums, based on the ductile particularities of the before mentioned games.
