Universities need to adapt quickly to this environment and managers must begin to explore ?new angles? and approaches in addressing the challenges they are now facing. This book offers a tool box of metaphors and associative Operational Research (OR) approaches. Metaphors are a powerful ?way of seeing? but also ?a way of not seeing?. Furthermore, the OR discipline has significantly evolved over the last 30 years which has led to the emergence of three distinctive intellectual areas, namely Hard OR, Soft OR and Methodological Pluralism OR. Drawing on these intellectual areas and on the experience of educational and OR practitioners, the book highlights the use of various OR approaches to a variety of complex and uncertain problems encountered in higher education management. The book aims to explore ?new perspectives? in HE management thinking and to describe and illustrate the use of OR methodologies, methods and techniques in helping HE managers to make informed management decisions. 410 0$aEducational futures ;$vv.54. 606 $aUniversities and colleges$xAdministration 615 0$aUniversities and colleges$xAdministration. 676 $a370 701 $aBell$b Gary$01547752 701 $aWarwick$b Jon$01547753 701 $aGalbraith$b P$g(Peter)$01547754 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779772203321 996 $aHigher education management and operational research$93804294 997 $aUNINA
