Higher Education Leadership & Management Studies: A Cross-National Approach

Description: While higher education is growing most quickly in traditionally under-developed countries, most of the existing information regarding effective management on college and university campuses comes from knowledge that has been generated primarily in North America and Western Europe. This is a potentially troublesome trend if western models are merely adopted, regardless of suitability, rather than adapted to respond to local needs. This paper describes an approach that has been successfully used to conduct needs assessments that provide an empirical basis for designing and implementing organizational and leadership development initiatives in high need national contexts.
