Description
The Higher Education Manager's Handbook 2/e has been substantially updated and reflects important changes that have occurred since its first publication in 2004. It offers excellent counsel and guidance on all aspects of the manager's role and provides the navigational tools to successfully operate within Higher Education organizations. Within this new edition, Peter McCaffery continues to draw on a wealth of US and UK case study materials drawn from innovative practice.

Written in the unique perspective of the HE manager, it offers practical advice that can be implemented immediately by managers and university leaders at all levels.

New Chapter! Celebrating Diversity
The Specific strategic drivers in HE
University Governance
