Publisher's Synopsis
During 1991 the programme on Institutional Management in Higher Education (IMHE) of the OECD launched a project to study the impact of information technology within higher education and to identify its implication for institutional management. This book
· documents the main objectives of the investigation: to investigate the state of the art of IT in European higher education;
· identifies the potential of IT and the impact of IT developments on higher education;
· identifies the management issues of IT for institutional decision makers and decision making structures.
The book is split into two sections: the first provides an analysis of the findings under five specific headings; teaching and learning, research, administration, management and libraries; while the second consists of comparative country-based reports. Throughout the book, the authors identify the strategic and management issues that emerged for the management of higher education.
