Dickmeyer, Nathan – Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges, 2006
In this article, the author observes that while university officials believe that strategic planning will help them look past the day-to-day housekeeping and meet the challenges of a volatile environment, much of such planning appears mired in competitive self-replication and is vulnerable to distrust from the public and government.

Higgins, E. Tory – Psychological Review, 2006

Kukla, Andre; Scher, Hal – Psychological Review, 1986
A recent article by Nicholls on achievement motivation is criticized on three points: (1) definitions of achievement motives are ambiguous; (2) behavioral consequences predicted do not follow from explicit theoretical assumptions; and (3) Nicholls's account of the relation between his theory and other achievement theories is factually incorrect.…

Savin-Williams, Ritch C. – Journal of Adolescence, 2001
