This insightful book offers forward-looking conceptual tools and a practice-oriented guide for navigating rapid change in higher education amid accelerating technological, economic, and social transformation. Drawing on global expertise in organisation and management studies, leading scholars interweave conceptual frameworks with international case studies to deliver actionable strategies for building institutional resilience, driving innovation, and promoting sustainable development in higher education.Contributors examine the evolving landscape of global higher education institutions as they respond to increasingly complex and interdependent challenges. Focusing on four core areas-resources, institutions, resilience, and identity-the chapters demonstrate how robust organisational and management theories can inform governance, leadership, and strategic adaptation across universities. The contributors also call for future research in diverse cultural and institutional contexts, offering principles for theory-building and a roadmap for refining and advancing organisational studies in higher education.An indispensable resource for students and scholars in education policy, management, organisational theory, and development studies, this book is equally valuable for policymakers, university administrators, and institutional leaders seeking research-informed strategies for transformative change.
