"Partnerships are essential for the advancement of higher education in the 21st century. This book is a solid resource for institutional leaders seeking to develop and sustain partnerships, especially those designed to enhance student success."

Michelle Asha Cooper

Institute for Higher Education Policy

"This well researched and thought provoking book will provide both the practitioner and researcher alike with valuable insights into why and how successful strategic partnerships work. Replete with scholarly evidence and practical examples, this remarkable book is a must read for any higher education leader.

Amey and Eddy provide valuable insight into why certain partnerships succeed and other fail while offering practical steps educational leaders can take to ensure every partnership they entire into is both mutually beneficial and sustainable. This well researched and thought provoking book will be valuable to the practitioner and researcher alike and is a must read for any higher education leader who wishes to leverage the power of strategic partnerships.

In an ever changing, challenging and competitive global environment, the need for colleges and universities to form mutually beneficial, strategic partnerships has never been greater. Unfortunately, too little has been written to help institutional leaders understand how to plan, develop and execute such partnerships. In this well researched and thought provoking book, the authors provide both empirical evidence and practical examples that will be invaluable to those leaders who wish to become 'champions' in forming lasting strategic partnerships."

"Having worked with and evaluated many multi-entity projects and groups over the years (across institutions, states, educational sectors, and state agencies), I find the research synthesized in Creating Strategic Partnerships rings true. It delineates the complicated structures and perspectives of partnerships at both the entity and the individual levels. It addresses the key concepts of trust and mutual respect, as well as more functional areas. Reflection questions embedded throughout the text are an excellent guide for those participating in, those contemplating entering, and those wanting to foster strategic partnerships using available levers (funding, legislation, etc.). The final chapter is a short 'how-to' for sustaining lasting partnerships targeted at various role positions including campus leaders, policy makers, mid-level leaders, and individuals."
