Offering insights into the adaptational strategies that were
employed by higher education institutions worldwide during the
Covid-19 pandemic, this volume considers the lasting effects of
adaptation and change, as well as the perception of universities’
role in society and desired ways of operating. Nearly overnight,
the pandemic forced university leaders and teachers across the
world to switch to remote models, not only of teaching and
learning, but also of managing an entire institution. This book
recognizes how the scale of challenges as well as the range of
measures specific universities had to undertake was uneven, with
some being better equipped than the others. Using a selection of
international case studies, it offers an insight into strategies
employed by institutions worldwide to navigate the crisis, and
highlights the targets and objectives addressed by them during
these processes. In so doing, it offers invaluable lessons for
years to come. An indispensable study into strategies that result
in resilience and sustainability for universities, this book is
essential reading for scholars of education, pedagogy and
organizational change in the higher education sector, as well as
educational leaders around the world.
It has taken platforms only twenty years to become digital economy
hubs. They have changed markets, enterprises, and society. They
have expedited communication, collaboration, and trade for
consumers, winning their attention and collecting their data. In
doing so, they have made processes, products, and industries
obsolete, and disrupted the expectations and behaviours of market
players. This raises the question, are digital platforms global
innovators or disruptive monopolists? Are they a solution to
problems of the past or emissaries of a problematic future? This
book provides a multi-faceted approach to platforms and their
profound impact on markets and ecosystems. Economic, managerial,
social, and political aspects are analysed, and the differentiation
of platforms and their disruptive potential is reviewed. The book
also examines the mechanism of achieving a monopolistic position,
including in the international supply chain, and the greater
influence of platforms on political activity and contemporary
democracy. With examples from Poland, USA, and China, the
contributions offer an international evaluation of disruptive
platforms across a multitude of industries. The edited collection,
prepared by scholars from the SGH Warsaw School of Economics, will
be valuable to researchers and academics across the fields of
strategic management, marketing, innovations, international
business, and the digital economy.
