In 1854, Father John Henry Newman, future Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church, entered the new Catholic University in Dublin as Rector - a post he held for four years. By way of preparation in 1852, Father Newman authored and published On The Scope and Nature of University Education. These eight discourses contained herein are of special interest as a turning point in his long and brilliant career as a leading Catholic theologian. JOHN HENRY CARDINAL NEWMAN (1801-1890) was known as "The Father of The Second Vatican Council" and a - if not the - leading figure in the Church of England. Prior to his conversion to Catholicism in 1845, Cardinal Newman was an outstanding scholar at Oxford possessed of brilliant speaking and writing abilities. His Parochial and Plain Sermons (1834-42) is considered the best sermons in the English language. In A Grammar Of Assent (1870) is his remarkable study on religious knowledge and certainty. Newman was made a Cardinal in 1877.

This book focuses on developing an understanding of the complex interplay of forces acting on individual universities and higher education systems to enable leaders and practitioners to take purposeful and strategic action. It explores the challenging landscape of higher education and the pressures that are reshaping the university as a societal institution, describing the complex interplay of technological, sociological, political and economic forces driving change. The issues analysed are global in scope, reflecting the diversity of contexts, but also the common nature of the challenges facing institutions individually and collectively. The analysis draws on the lessons learnt and evidence from over fifty organisational case studies undertaken by the author over the past decade, exploring organisational change in higher education institutions in New Zealand, Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom, and on his engagement as president of the ACODE organisation with colleagues responsible for learning technological change in Australasia. The book helps institutions respond to technological change purposefully, in ways that build upon a clear understanding of the complex nature of the existing institution, its students and the organisational context.
