Leadership and management and leading universities, faculties, 
departments, or research laboratories
undergoes a tremendous change during recent years. Universities and its 
researchers are more and
more under pressure to produce scientific results and commercial viable 
outputs. Academic freedom
and science as long-term investment for society and business vanish more 
and more, and put pressure
on scientists to rise funding, cope with external stakeholders or job 
uncertainties, and
internationalization strategies. The scope of this book is to discuss 
the changes, and especially
emphasize the importance of universities as grassroots place for many 
activities. The book focuses
on concepts, frameworks, and theories to derive policy guidelines for 
people involved in university
management. For scientists the book assists in developing their careers 
and gain insights in university
management. The book especially focuses on how to lead creative 
universities, and shall shade light
on successful criteria for successful science management.
