Oxford Handbook of Higher Education Systems and University Management
«This impressive, wide ranging collection is built around the theme that higher education, as well as inspiring change, should, especially among students, build capacity to adapt well to change. The editors and contributors challenge university managers to seize the agenda related to these new roles, in particular to devise new, innovative, and relevant management strategies only then can universities contribute meaningfully to change and continuity in contemporary societies. As this volume is a rich source of information and offers insights on many diverse systems of higher education and their challenges in governance and management, it will become required reading for higher education specialists.»

The world's systems of higher education (HE) are caught up in the fourth industrial revolution of the twenty-first century. Driven by increased globalization, demographic expansion in demand for education, new information and communications technology, and changing cost structures influencing societal expectations and control, higher education systems across the globe are adapting to the pressures of this new industrial environment.

The world's systems of higher education (HE) are caught up in the fourth industrial revolution of the twenty-first century. Driven by increased globalization, demographic expansion in demand for education, new information and communications technology, and changing cost structures influencing societal expectations and control, higher education systems across the globe are adapting to the pressures of this new industrial environment. To make sense of the complex
changes in the practices and structures of higher education, this Handbook sets out a theoretical framework to explain what higher education systems are, how they may be compared over time, and why comparisons are important in terms of societal progress in an increasingly interconnected world.
Drawing on insights from over 40 leading international scholars and practitioners, the chapters examine the main challenges facing institutions of higher education, how they should be managed in changing conditions, and the societal implications of different approaches to change. Structured around the premise that higher education plays a significant role in ensuring that a society achieves the capacity to adjust itself to change, while at the same time remaining cohesive as a social system,
this Handbook explores how current internal and external forces disturb this balance, and how institutions of higher education could, and might, respond.

«If the dramatic growth of higher education is to be a resource for democracy, and not just a stream of corporate profit, we need to think and act at the level of whole systems. This Handbook presents analysis and information on that larger scale. It will be valuable for all concerned with the role of the state, global difference, strategies of change, and social justice in advanced education.»
