Planning Theory in Our Own Backyard

Communicative Action in Academic Governance

Richard Willson

This article explores the procedural implications of communicative action, using academic governance as a planning problem. It examines the organizational context of academic departments, critiques the academic governance literature, and explains the tenets of communicative action. Focusing on process design, collaborative deliberation, and implementation for a curriculum planning case study, the article illustrates how a communicative action approach can be used for effective and transformative academic planning and leadership.

Key Words: communicative action • academic administration • leadership • planning theory
