Publisher's Synopsis
After clearly setting out the theoretical framework involved in open management, the author considers the specific management challenges involved in the management of distance education and open learning, including developing independent learning as an institutional value, the cost implications of regional networks and tutors, the pressures for collaboration with other educational institutions and managing off-campus tutors. The elements which constitute successful leadership and management are analysed. Drawing on case studies and his own extensive experience, Ross Paul provides an informative, provocative and refreshingly readable overview of open management.
