Abstract
The 'bad' managerial, rather than the 'good' collegial, is increasingly seen to dominate the internal life of Australian universities. However, the profound changes facing those universities no longer allow them to evade the necessity for good management. This article briefly examines what has changed in the world of universities that makes their management so increasingly important. The article also describes two models (rational and organised anarchy) that have been used to both understand the changes and consider what university managements might do about them. The article concludes with a third model that combines what is believed to be the best elements of both the rational and organised anarchy models, that is, organisational learning.
