External drivers are pressing for a more privatized approach to
higher education and research, a greater reliance on technology and
the more efficient use of resources. This book analyzes recent
changes in institutional governance and management in higher
education and their impact on the academy and academic work. It
draws on findings from an international study based on a survey of
academics in eighteen countries. It opens with a chapter outlining
the key issues, drivers and challenges that inform contemporary
discourse around academic work and the profession in general. It
then focuses on national case studies, comparing changes in the top
tier with the lower tiers of national systems, public and private
institutions, and other differentiating factors appropriate in each
country, which include mature and emerging higher education
systems. It concludes by proposing a series of generalizations
about the contemporary status of governance and management of
institutions of higher education.
