Higher Education in a Global Society (Hardcover)

Higher education functions in a global environment of consumers, employees, competitors, and partners. It has been a force for globalization and a model for adaptation, but nonetheless faces challenges.

Chapter authors include prominent senior administrators from higher education and leading researchers on higher education and globalization. They provide new and actionable information to enhance decision making and inform strategic planning as well as a contemporary examination of the business of higher education and areas of potential new research.This book is an excellent resource for academic administrators, as well as for researchers and students in business, management, economics, education, and public sector economics.
