Abstract

This paper describes the development of a classification of committees frequently seen in response to authority‐task problems in universities. It then reports data that describe how twenty high‐level, experienced administrators, when presented with a series of seven hypothetical cases representing each type of committee, chose to compose each committee. Implications of this work for understanding the use of committees as strategic problem‐solving tools are explored.
