‘It is a truism that managing a university is a challenging and complex task, yet perhaps never before have the demands – from students, society, politicians, international competition and new technologies – reached such a fever pitch. This important and timely book speaks directly into the “perfect storm” that threatens to engulf higher education in the second quarter of the 21st century, to offer fresh insights and analysis of current trends together with strategic maps with which to navigate the future. It is an essential read for leaders and managers at all levels of the university sector.’
