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.
