- Description: This paper is based on recent PhD research. The practices for appointing Vice Chancellors (VC’s) in Australian Universities were examined together with the changing role of the VC and new demographic patterns in VC backgrounds. A number of other issues was also examined, including the ‘training’ and preparation of VCs, mentoring and the changing skill base required to be effective in the role. In addition, the paradox was investigated of appointing academics from the ranks of individuals with non-business backgrounds, to run large enterprises which are being compelled to adopt an increasingly business-oriented focus.

- Description: This book addresses the gap in our understanding of the processes in place to recruit and select vice-chancellors (VCs) for Australian Universities. With the growing corporatisation of universities, one would expect that they would be managed and led in ways similar to those in use in the private sector. We know quite a deal about the role and incumbents but not how VCs are appointed. In the process of this inquiry, the book identifies a paradox concerning the fact that many of the successful candidates do not come from a 'business' discipline or the business community, as might be expected for a role considered to be the Chief Executive Officer of the institution.
