Why do decisions in universities take so long and involve so many
people? Why isn't growth a priority for colleges? Why can't faculty
be managed like any other employees? How can alumni work more
effectively with campus leaders? As leaders in higher education
with years of experience working with business executives,
governing boards, faculty, consultants, and alumni, James W. Dean
Jr. and Deborah Y. Clarke have noticed that these questions often
arise, revealing that many business-based partners have a limited
understanding of academic institutions. This book offers practical
guidance for those who seek to invest in and help enhance higher
education. Dean and Clarke advocate for the distinctive missions
and structures that make universities unique among American
enterprises. And while they acknowledge the challenges often faced
when working with academic institutions, they argue that
understanding institutional mission is essential to improving the
effectiveness of business leaders who engage in higher education.
Presenting numerous real-world insights and drawing from interviews
with a range of stakeholders, Dean and Clarke chart a path for
building and sustaining relationships that work to strengthen
higher education.

With the collapse of the former Soviet Union, and the formation of the Euro in Europe, many countries and debating whether or not a common currency is in their best interest. This intriguing volume brings together the leading participants in the current dollarization debates. Many advocate the notion of a common currency, while others feel that in doing so will create financial costs for all that take part, with the severity varying from country to country.
