Faced with the situation that our university administration must continuously adapt itself to the evolving market economy system, and on the other hand to make our colleges and universities to realize a better function of personnel training, scientific research, and social services provision, Chinese scholars have made exploration. They put forward two theoretical models-- participatory management mode and service management mode, on the basis of the improvement existing bureaucratic management model. The three existing theoretical models have their own characteristics. For instance, the bureaucratic management model owns the basic characteristics of specialization, hierarchy, rules-governing, impersonality in its organizational structure.
