| Discipline is the basic character of university's academic organization structure, the conventional function of university: teaching, researching and serving, which are all based on discipline. The discipline organization structure is the basic problem of university.In a word, the history of university's discipline organization structure is from "university-department-major"to"university-school-department","university-departme nt-institute","university-institute-lab", etc. They are all kinds of Functional Structure. But as the appearance of interdisciplinary research, the conventional "university-school-department" structure has begun to collapse, it will be placed by kinds of skeleton organizations. So the former discipline organization structure needs to be changed and innovated. In this paper, We should conceive a new one to satisfy the needs of developing discipline and interdisciplinary organizations.The paper makes reference to the theories about organization structure innovation and the experiences of some native and foreign universities, such as MIT, Nagoya Univ, Zhejiang Univ. Aims at the abuses of the Functional Structure, brings forward the meshwork structure of discipline that is based on matrix theories. It combines "discipline-oriented" and "problem-oriented" to meet the needs of academic innovation. The author also conceived the potential problems of the meshwork structure of discipline, gave some countermeasures. Research group is the basic cell of this matrix structure of discipline, it' s form and scale can be big or small, can develop into a department or school lengthways ,or a institute, research center athwartships, finally maybe expand to whole university; Academe is the service of the structure, it' s task is to manage, harmonize,serve the matrix structure. We believe academic innovation and discipline constructing will be more efficient and flexible by exerting the matrix structure of discipline. |
