Academic Dean: Dove, Dragon, and Diplomat

Successful academic management principles are presented for all sizes and types of postsecondary education institutions. The department chairperson and the seasoned dean will gain unique insights and valuable advice on personnel management as it relates to department chairs and faculty, the allocation of funds to departments, means of interaction with the central administration, relationships with students and the public (alumni, parents, trustees or regents, and legislators), and methods of dealing with support agencies (offices of purchasing, finance and accounting, alumni affairs, and fund raising). The authors also discuss the various opportunities available to faculty members who have administrative aspirations.Tucker, Allan is the author of 'Academic Dean: Dove, Dragon, and Diplomat' with ISBN 9780029326954 and ISBN 0029326958.
