A chapter in New Living Cases on Corporate Governance, 2021, pp 5-7 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This case addresses the challenge of leadership succession in a highly respected master’s program at a university in Australia. The director, who was also the program’s lead professor, was due to retire, and the distinctive nature of the program made it particularly difficult to find a suitable replacement. To complicate the challenge, the university’s central administration was not supportive of that master’s degree, whereas it achieved the highest satisfaction ratings in the university from students and enjoyed good support from industry; the director’s insistence on quality of educational experience resulted in tight control of student admission, fewer students, and lower revenue than competing programs. A highly engaged group of students and alumni took on this challenge, working with the outgoing director to sustain impressive results over a 5-year period.
