This comprehensive book delves into a wide range of initiatives related to the public mission of higher education, encompassing university-community engagement, knowledge transfer, economic development, and social responsibility. Drawing from empirical and conceptual cases across the United States, South America, Europe, Africa, and Asia, the volume editors have crafted a theoretical framework rooted in organizational theory to enhance our understanding of these initiatives.
In each chapter, the authors employ a comprehensive analysis that considers both external environmental factors such as political, economic, sociocultural, and technological influences, as well as internal institutional elements such as mission, vision, leadership, and governance. This multifaceted approach allows for a deep exploration of the challenges and opportunities faced by higher education institutions as they strive to fulfill their public mission.
Furthermore, each chapter highlights key issues related to implementation and offers valuable insights into the challenges and successes encountered by the contributing authors. By presenting these case studies, the book aims to prompt readers to consider appropriate strategies and approaches for adopting and adapting the lessons learned from these initiatives to their own contexts.
Chapter 10, in particular, is made available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via the link.springer.com.m. This allows for widespread access and dissemination of the valuable insights and recommendations presented in the book, fostering a broader understanding of public mission initiatives in higher education and their potential to contribute to societal development.
