"""Administer the trust"": An historical case study of organizational transformation at the Cunningham Children's Home of Urbana, Illinois"

Abstract

dc:description

"This historical case study of organizational transformation at the Cunningham Children's Home of Urbana, Illinois (CCH/or the Home) used the framework of organizational transformation theory to understand how CCH changed from an orphanage to a residential treatment center from 1949 to 1968. Organizational transformation is a process ""in which organizations evaluate what they were, what they will need to be, and how to make necessary changes"" (Kilman & Covin, 1988, p. 4)."
