| Abstract: | Abstact Much of the writing on higher education in recent years has tended to assume that the new management push in higher education
is both universal and irreversible. This paper, however, presents evidence from Portugal to challenge that assumption. While
elements of the new managerialism are clearly evident in the perceptions and attitudes of academics in charge of the basic
academic units (departments/schools and faculties) in the country’s universities and polytechnics, academic management remains
faced with a complex, contradictory and conflicting set of demands and expectations which is likely to take a considerable
time to resolve. |
