Information Technology : Issues for Higher Education Management

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; to identify the potential of IT and the impact of IT developments on higher education; to identify 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.
