About the book
It is important for those who will lead higher education into the next century to understand the forces currently transforming postsecondary institutions worldwide. In this new book, editor Madeleine F. Green identifies many of these influences, including demands for greater access to higher education, funding problems, the conflicting requirements of various constituencies, and pressures to contribute to a country's economic and social development. Many of the main actors or groups that are driving change in higher education also are identified, including the government, the public, faculty members, governing boards, students, and institutional leaders. Current theory about the nature of leadership is reviewed, and the various forms of leadership currently in place at higher education institutions around the world also are described.
First sentence: In a book of this scope, defining a common frame of reference is essential to its coherence.
