Making Managers in Universities and Colleges

by Craig Prichard, Michael Prichard

Overview

This volume provides an alternative means of discussing the development and significance of managers and management in universities and colleges. It is particularly concerned with the way managing involves the development of different ways of talking, acting and relating to people at work. Yet this is often difficult, and variably successful, as it confronts often strong professional and occupational work identities and cultures. the book provides a detailed look at the manager in contemporary further and higher education in Britain as post-compulsory education has been required to operate on a more commercial basis, and universities and colleges are increasingly regarded as small to medium, sized enterprises.
