Abstract

Global system of higher education is subject to constant change. The growing internationalization of the university changes the strategy of universities. The business model of the university is subject to a number of trials. Among other challenges is the growing dependence of the university on its surroundings. At the same time social changes and technological support cause the growth of awareness of the needs of universities stakeholders. The ease of travel and the possibilities for studying in another country cause a real challenge for the strategy of universities. These factors represent a challenge not only for university management, but also for societies that increasingly more explicitly articulate their expectations in relation to the university. Meeting these expectations in an unstable economic and political environment turns out to be, perhaps, the most important challenge for the managers of universities over the next two to three decades.
