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.
