This volume focuses on strategic staff development in the workplace in higher education. This sector has often been viewed as an operational activity with little organizational relevance. The book demonstrates how staff development needs to be based on modern theories of organizational learning, aligning itself with institutional and departmental needs as well as the wants and needs of individual staff.
