Emerald Handbook on International Higher Education

The Emerald Handbook on International Higher Education is a comprehensive and structured exploration of the challenges and opportunities arising from the digital age's impact on workforce and leadership in higher education institutions. Chapters provide evidence-based guidance, real-world examples, and valuable resources to equip educational leaders, administrators, faculty and all stakeholders with the knowledge and strategies necessary to excel in this transformative era of international higher education.

Contributing international scholars and experts from various disciplines delve into the challenges and opportunities associated with a globally dispersed and increasingly diverse pool of employees. They examine how universities harness talent from around the world and how this workforce diversity can lead to innovation and cross-cultural collaboration. Featuring an extensive collection of new and diverse case studies from higher education institutions and systems worldwide, these real-world scenarios offer practical, on-the-ground insights into the challenges and successes of global education. Readers can draw from these case studies to inform their own strategies and decision-making processes, allowing for immediate application and relevance in their respective contexts.

The Emerald Handbook on International Higher Education is a new and significant contribution to the research in a new era of education, with remote work and online learning becoming more prevalent than ever before. It will be of special interest to international higher education researchers, leaders, administrators, faculty members and policy makers.
