| Publisher Description: It is important for those who will lead higher education into the next century to understand the forces currently transforming universities worldwide. In Transforming Higher Education, many of these influences are identified by contributors from around thew world, including demands for greater access to higher education, funding problems, the conflicting requirements of various constituencies, and the pressure to contribute to a country's economic and social development. The various forms of leadership currently in place at higher education institutions around the world are described, as well as the tasks that all higher education leaders share. |
