This book debunks prevailing modern management theories and fashions as applied to higher education. At the same time it provides practical guidance for a clear and easily understood set of principles as to how universities and colleges can be re-energized and their staff mobilized to be effective in meeting the growing and changing needs of the global knowledge society. "Managing the Learning University" indicates how higher education institutions can link and network their internal energies with external opportunities and partners to be successful and dynamic learning organizations.
