In looking at my problem (integrating the community into other sectors of a fine arts college) through the human resources perspective. I came to a realization. I focused on a definition from the Bolman book that said that the HR framework focuses on "how characteristics of organizations and people shape what they do for one another". I realized that the college has many of the characteristics of a HR framework. For example, one of the assumptions of the HR framework is creating an environment that the organization exploits the talents of its employees and vice versa. The college benefits from the talents of the employees by attracting donors, patrons from the community and students. The employees benefit by having an outlet to further their career and share their talents.
My point of all this is that since the college has many of the basic assumptions of the HR framework, why do they have trouble integrating the community into all aspects of the college? I am starting to think that maybe the college needs to use a blend of a few different organizational frameworks to solve the problem.
