There is a problem in Higher Education very similar to Public Corporations!

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago

I enjoyed this book. There is a problem in our Universities, they can't keep up with the pace of the world. I enjoyed this book, because many of the scenarios which play out in Education also play out in Higher Education.
