If You Can't Measure It, How Can You Manage It? Management and Governance in Higher Educational Institutions

Author

  • Jane Broadbent

Abstract

The oft-promoted wisdom that says ‘if you can't measure it, you can't manage it’ has mutated into a nostrum of the airport management manuals that suggest ‘you have to measure it to manage it’. This has manifested itself in numerous ways and has intertwined with a host of other concerns and neuroses that affect present-day life. This article brings together the author's interest in accounting and experience as an academic manager to consider management and governance in higher educational institutions.
