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.
