The real-world case examples from small rural colleges to large urban institutions underscore that all colleges have the capacity to turn challenge into opportunity with innovative action and bold leadership.

Higher education's evolution demands entrepreneurial leaders to think and act faster, adapt swiftly, and innovate boldly-not just to thrive, but to survive in a rapidly changing landscape.

The financial landscape of higher education has changed. The expectation is to become more market-aligned resulting in greater value for our students and our communities but also making institutions subject to the market. If you plan to lead in higher education, this book is a must read.
