The global higher education sector has changed dramatically as
universities continue to face unprecedented challenges associated with
the COVID-19 pandemic. Many are struggling to navigate this crisis while

vision of a new higher education sector in a changing world. Covering
topics such as developmental leadership, IT governance, and lifelong
learning, it is ideal for policymakers, industry professionals,
academicians, researchers, governors, decision makers, teachers, and
students.
