ABSTRACT
In this chapter the management of a university is considered from multiple perspectives joining: governance and management with leadership. A pragmatic view of the management process makes it essential to combine different viewpoints, leading to a process of decision-making and organizing. This can be served by an integrated view of the university management process, in which the level of supervision is combined with the management of the organizational system and the group of leadership and directing people. The synthesis of these three perspectives also translates into managing the triads: organizational subsystems (strategy, structure, and culture) and mission streams (learning, teaching, and cooperation with the environment). The challenge of managers at the whole organization level is precisely the harmonization of the various aspects of the university organization.
