Strong leadership is crucial to the success of educational institutions and great importance is placed on their effective governance and management. However, many institutions fail to realise the positive impact that a strongalumni body can have on university excellence. Drawing on definitions and theories of leadership, the author seeks to establish the significance of alumni in enhancing a university's growth and development. Providing comprehensive analysis of LBS, this book is a unique resource for leaders of educational institutions, as well as those studying and teaching in African business schools. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in African Leadership,$x2945-6681 606 $aBusiness 606 $aAfrica 606 $aStrategic planning 606 $aLeadership 606 $aEducation, Higher 606 $aExecutives$xTraining of 606 $aPersonnel management 606 $aAfrican Business 606 $aBusiness Strategy and Leadership 606 $aHigher Education 606 $aManagement Education 606 $aHuman Resource Development 615 0$aBusiness. 615 0$aAfrica. 615 0$aStrategic planning. 615 0$aLeadership. 615 0$aEducation, Higher. 615 0$aExecutives$xTraining of. 615 0$aPersonnel management. 615 14$aAfrican Business. 615 24$aBusiness Strategy and Leadership. 615 24$aHigher Education. 615 24$aManagement Education. 615 24$aHuman Resource Development. 676 $a303.34096 700 $aOnukwuba$b Henry O$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01059783 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298213403321 996 $aAlumni Leadership and University Excellence in Africa$92508164 997 $aUNINA
