Features: This is the last book in the series. Daniel F. Koury defines the strategic planning process with his unique insights. Co-authored by Daniel F. Koury and Herbert A. Sherman, the book points out how to move to the next step after completing the strategic planning process. The authors clearly demonstrate how to execute a strategic plan to address the many challenges of today's complex higher education environment and achieve institutional success. "Surprisingly, when college sports teams meticulously plan for competitions, their institutional leaders often don't spend enough time and effort to develop and implement a school strategy. Colleges seem to lack the tools to build and activate their 'planning.'" In this era of convenient information and globalization, it has become increasingly important to examine challenges through planning, overcome and bypass past and present difficulties, and find the best path for development. Koury and Sherman provide such tools in this comprehensive and inspiring new book. If I had this book when I served as the department chair, chair of the academic committee, and dean, the planning process would have been easier and more effective!
