Opis

The book provides a progressive stance on university governance and management in developing countries, providing information and guidance on how to proactively and effectively fulfil the university's role in two main aspects. First, as an educational establishment nurturing and developing market-ready graduates who will be significant contributors to the economy and aid development in the society. Second, as the originator and provider of new and applied knowledge and technologies to aid society in its development, meeting development challenges as they arise. The book deals with essential management and functional components and proposes approaches to achieve excellence in higher education. These include creating a focus on knowledge and skills needed for graduate employability as well as preparing graduates for the new realities of nation building, wealth creation, market demands and competition. The book also focuses on academic workforce planning, workloads and management as well as the essential tools for achieving quality as quality assurance, international benchmarking and accreditation.
