Abstract

Higher education has faced many challenges since its meager inception. However, higher education today faces its greatest combinations of challenges: economic uncertainty, accountability, globalization and emerging technologies that are daunting to learn and intimidating to implement. VUCA accurately describes this complex, evolving and dynamic environment confronted by global higher education. Therefore, global higher education institutions are attempting to develop the capacity to adapt and modify the new models of knowledge, information and change. In the Industrial Era, work got done in silos with adherence to process and the cult of efficiency. However, this type of working will no longer suffice in an era characterized by flux and change--the VUCA world.
VUCA世界中的全球高等教育:关注与展望
高等教育自成立以来面临着许多挑战。然而,今天的高等教育面临着最严峻的挑战组合:经济不确定性、问责制、全球化以及令人望而生畏的学习和难以实施的新兴技术。VUCA准确地描述了全球高等教育面临的复杂、不断发展和动态的环境。因此,全球高等教育机构正试图发展适应和修改知识、信息和变化的新模式的能力。在工业时代,工作是在坚持流程和效率崇拜的情况下在竖井中完成的。然而,这种类型的工作将不再满足于一个以流动和变化为特征的时代——VUCA世界。
