• Sommario/riassunto: "Universities all over the world are increasingly recognising the challenges of globalization and the pressures towards internationalization. This collection draws together a wealth of international experience to explore the emerging patterns of strategy and practice in internationalizing Higher Education. Questions considered include: * How is the concept of globalization in the context of higher education understood by those who lead universities across the world? * What new challenges are being created as universities seek to become more international? * Which forms of leadership are needed and will be needed in the future in these transforming institutions and how are they going about preparing for and achieving this?."-- Provided by publisher.
