Description: Pressures on institutions have mounted. Rising labor costs, falling public funding, suppressed tuition revenue, and demographic changes are straining the college business model. In a competitive environment, the difference between struggling and prospering often comes down to the vision and will of campus leaders. Case studies profile 11 institutions that are finding additional revenue through new pipelines of students, streamlining operations to control spiraling costs, consolidating to combine efforts, and revolutionizing what they offer. Gain insights into: effective cost tracking to set institutional priorities, methods to bolster tuition revenue, how to streamline operations and cultivate a business mind-set, weighing collaboration and mergers to generate new opportunities, how to make transformative change and reinvent your institution.-- From the publisher.
