Topic Overview

Global higher education is undergoing a structural paradigm shift. Demographic decline is eroding enrollment bases, international ranking systems are distorting institutional priorities, and digital technologies are redefining the boundaries of knowledge delivery. These challenges converge into a profound transformation that threatens the very survival of universities. At the same time, the metaverse, immersive learning, and cross-border academic collaboration are opening unprecedented possibilities for higher education — from virtual campuses to hybrid executive programs, the spatial and temporal constraints of education are being dismantled.

Drawing from his cross-border collaboration between the University of Cambridge and Zhejiang University, Prof. Hung-Yi Chen combines dual perspectives in legal governance and business education to explore the core issues of education leadership: how higher education can find opportunity amid the demographic tsunami, why university rankings are destroying the educational mission of universities, how metaverse technology is reshaping the teaching landscape of business schools, curriculum design methodology and cross-cultural management in cross-border executive education, governance framework design for international industry-academia collaboration, and how talent development can become the strategic core of national competitiveness. These articles provide university administrators, education policymakers, and academic entrepreneurs with analytical frameworks that blend theoretical depth with practical insight.
