In order to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary - the third lustrum
- of our Center, we at CHEPS decided to collectively write a book
on the issue of how higher education institutions deal with the
demand for change. Institutional change is without any doubt one of
the burning issues for researchers in higher education and policy
studies in general, but even more so for administrators at the
institutional level (institutional leadership, deans) and planners
of higher education in public life (government agencies,
intermediary organisations, international organisations). Whereas
the lustrumbook we wrote for our second lustrum concentrated on
comparative policy studies, many of them focusing on comparisons
between different national higher education systems, this time the
object of our analyses is the institution itself. Today's higher
education institutions are faced by demands from a multitude of
actors - from inside the institution (students, staff) as well as
from the institution's environment (governments, employers,
research councils, sponsors). These demands require changes in
policy, practice, systems, and culture. The ways in which
institutions respond to these demands and how their behaviour may
be understood and predicted is the challenge tackled by the authors
of this volume, each from their own perspective and each looking at
different aspects of the educational organisation.
