Organizational Design

Most universities in the world today are structured according to a model developed in 19th century Germany. They need to rethink the way they are organized in order to meet the challenges facing our world in the 21st century. These case studies describe universities and organizations that are creating new models for higher education internationally.

These case studies all deal with higher education and various aspects of internationalization.
