Description

One of the best theoretical and applied analyses of university academic organisation and leadership in print. How Colleges Work is significant because it is not only thoughtfully developed and based on careful reading of the extensive literature on leadership and governance, but it is also deliberately intended to enable the author to bridge the gap between theories of organisation, on one hand, and practical application, on the other.” Journal of Higher Education
