Description

This work addresses with depth and rigor the contemporary challenges facing universities in a context marked by the globalization of knowledge, digital transformation, and the growing demand for quality, equity, and innovation. Far from conceiving management as a simple technical-administrative process, this book proposes a strategic, human, and contextualized vision in which the university is understood as a complex, dynamic, and learning-oriented system. Educational management is presented here as a fundamental tool for promoting continuous improvement, strengthening institutional quality, and responding appropriately to the needs of a constantly changing society. The text analyzes the academic, social, technological, and ethical dimensions that shape effective management, with an emphasis on pedagogical leadership, collaborative organizational culture, student well-being, values formation, and the professional development of human talent. The work also highlights the importance of building more inclusive, sustainable, and student-centered universities, capable of integrating reliable assessment processes, making informed decisions, and generating institutional policies that promote access, retention, and academic success. Through a comprehensive approach, it invites us to rethink the university as a space for transformation, innovation, and social commitment. This book constitutes a valuable tool for managers, teachers, researchers, and decision-makers committed to quality, people-centered, and future-oriented higher education.
