商品簡介
University administrators and faculty in education and other disciplines explore global university ranking systems, how they contribute to the notion of a world university market, and their influence on the strategic direction of many universities and the future of higher education. In sections on historical development and methodological issues, university ranking strategic issues, and regional and national initiatives, they discuss such topics as whether academic life was perfect before rankings, analyzing the disciplinary focus of universities: whether rankings can be one-size-fits-all, the development and outcomes of a new institutional ranking system for public administration research and scholarship, institutional legacy as a context of the implementation of international rankings in the Russian higher education system, and the King Abdulaziz University path to excellence: mapping between accreditation and ranking systems.
