University organization as a complicated, multidimensional system seems to be uncertain and blurry in knowledge's original objectives of transmission, creativity and application. A classical organizational model at the same time of framing a perfect structure models, will easily treat an individual or a group as a separated or even an isolated object that cause to a lack of relational thinking eventually. This study is cutting-in from interests "relationship" of methodology angle, using the game theory and game analysis pattern, through three dynamic perspectives of value, structure, power and politics to further study on the game phenomenon during University organization change. To firmly grasp the strategy choices of value, each relevant interest entity and stakeholders within the university organization, and to obtain a final equilibrium of the game by pushing hard the theory performing or model analysis. And to adjust the behaviour strategy and action rule of each interest party under the guideline of expected "Nash Equilibrium", to form a thinking in order to reframe the orders of University Organization and also to open up a new field in which game theory will be used for University organization study.The appearance and expression of interests in University Organization still contains essential elements including uncertain, be oriented, comparative and interactive. The specific characteristics of University Organization have already determined the interests itself as of "over economic rationality". In the interests structure of University organization not only contains both features of conflict and consistence, also performs to be coexisting of different payoffs. Therefore, to use game theory as a tool to analyze the problem that comes from University organization change, must to start from relationship of interests, strategy adoptions of the parties and the equilibrium as well, in order to form a perfect analysis pattern of game theory.The university organizations which are under the game theory thinking have to be interpreted via different perspectives. In the value perspective, the value relations in around the university organization will always be in the status of conflict, in which the history and culture will be a method to be used to explain the motivation of selection. This selection occurs when a "Focal Points" of a game is formed in the process of value selection of the university organization. In a historical process, although the value trend of "to attach" has been shown from university organization, this trend must be built up based on the level that will be at the most tolerance and respectful to the academic content. And also need to reflect the "conscience of the mind" of the academic staff of the university. To chase an excellent trustable content during organization development, it must be built up on a long lasting fair basis, an efficient thinking is also a value selection after a detail consideration to the freedom and creativity in the management culture.University organization should rethink the traditional rationality viewpoint. From the structural perspective, it is worth to discuss the distribution of the rights at work since the bottom level of university organization becomes important. Delegation is the balance between agency costs and information costs, at the same time, the game model analysis of rights transfer should use the "hard-working" aspect of colleges and departments as an expected coordination strategy. Through the model of mathematical solver, it helps to penetrate the process and the source of the game. In the collaboration of structural perspective, the thesis has analyzed the "prisoner's dilemma" game regarding the resources allocation and the bounded rationality evolutionarily game comprised regarding the theme of "excellent learning experience". Through the coordination games matrix and dynamic differential equations, it reveals the difficult time of subject construction in learning. This thesis also points out the reasons of conflict of many academic interests and resources interests in the matrix structure of interdisciplinary association.The interest in organizational politics is the starting point to analyze the political dimension in the context of any organizations, it is expressed through an identity in the organization, and power is an instrumental dimension in an organizational politics. From the semantics analysis of power in a university organization, it is believed that the present critics on power study discourse try to enrich and perfect the power theory in a university organization with the help of self-construction of power system. Nevertheless "reconstructing" after "dispelling" is still built on the basis of unclear semantics. As a result, questions are put forward to be the orientation, structure formed by "subjective" university organization power. Power incarnate and coalitions form are closely related. Through measuring Shapley Value in the professor council of university, it shows that the allocation of coalitions'voting rights causes illusion of participatory democracy and authorization. It can be discovered from different kinds of negotiation phenomena, regardless of value creation or value request which can go through the strategies like "benchmarking" or "credible commitment", finding ways to solve problems of each other.The thesis is ended up by a case-game analysis of the practice of the P college organization change. It shows a inseparate relation among the three perspectives, moreover, it verifies the above theory analysis under the natural situation. Game theory can be used to solve the problems caused by university organization change.The method of that is:First, continuous adjusting of game "Focal Points" under expected equilibrium; Second, leave "dilemma" through responding adhering the institutionalization and cooperative rationality; Third, both "this" and "that", find out the relation between "this" and "that" by using coordination strategy in a university organization change. At last, build the logical university organization order based on the mechanisms of game.
