The Enterprise University Poer, Governance and Reinvention in Australia [Paperback]

This 2001 book studies the organisational systems and culture of Australia's universities.Throughout the industrialised world, universities have undergone remarkable changes since the mid-1980s. In Australia, interest has been intense, and publication of The Enterprise University in Australia is very timely. It is the first systematic study of the Australian system since the momentous Dawkins reforms ten years ago. Grounded in case studies of 17 Australian universities, the authors contend that the modern university can be understood as an 'enterprise university', characterised by corporate-style executive leadership.Throughout the industrialised world, universities have undergone remarkable changes since the mid-1980s.
