Offering insights into the adaptational strategies that were employed by higher education institutions worldwide during the Covid-19 pandemic, this volume considers the lasting effects of adaptation and change, as well as the perception of universities’ role in society and desired ways of operating.

Nearly overnight, the pandemic forced university leaders and faculty across the world to switch to remote models, not only of teaching and learning but also of managing an entire institution. This book recognizes how the scale of challenges as well as the range of measures specific universities had to undertake was uneven, with some being better equipped than the others. Using a selection of international case studies, it offers an insight into strategies employed by institutions worldwide to navigate the crisis, and highlights the targets and objectives addressed by them during these processes. In so doing, it offers invaluable lessons for the years to come.

An indispensable study into strategies that result in resilience and sustainability for universities, this book is essential reading for scholars of education, pedagogy, and organizational change in the higher education sector, as well as educational leaders around the world.

Arvustused

"Within this book, three scholars of great renown, each in a distinctive field of research and practice, with a direct exposure to the world and realities of HEIs, offer a wonderful insight into the variety of challenges HEIs had to respond to as a means of resisting the pandemic and its implications. Contrary to many publications addressing the Covid-19 pandemic and HEIs one can encounter on the market, the book in question provides a fresh perspective to the topic. In other words, rather than engaging primarily and exclusively with technology, technology adoption and adaptation to the new tech-environment, the book edited by Professors Visvizi, Kozlowski and Nawaz, guides the reader through the frequently unrecognized meanders of managerial and strategic choices HEIs had to face during the pandemic. As such, this book represents a very welcome addition to the existing literature on the topic."
