| Summary |
"The Research University Presidency in the Late Twentieth Century uses detailed case histories collected from the presidents of prestigious peer universities who speak frankly on the record, rather than anonymously. The analysis is based on a psychological and a strategic, or problem solving, approach rather than a mathematical and theoretical model." "A study of the academic presidency, the book will provide readers with a better understanding of this complex leadership position by identifying patterns in the university presidency and addressing questions of culture, governance, and stress."--BOOK JACKET |
