Preface
Higher Education: Progress for Management and Engineering highlights the most
recent issues related to higher education in the field of management and engineering.
More and more corporate social responsibility demands from the different profes-
sionals, namely, managers and engineers, the necessary knowledge, abilities and
competences in order to better answer to the needs of the diverse organization’
stakeholders. A sustainable education is thus understood as a required issue that
these professionals, as well as the organizations with which they collaborate (work),
need to obtain.
Higher education is a critical tool to the organization development due to its
ability to change and to drive change and progress in organizations. It contributes
to organizations more knowledge-based which lead to a more effective sustainable
development of all those who are part of the organization. Given its critical role, it is
important to follow and understand the changes and progress that higher education
has been facing. Particularly in the field of management and engineering, it is
important to understand the progress of higher education as only in this way it will
be possible to have sustainable and socially responsible organizations able to answer
and, above all, to anticipate the demands of different stakeholders.
Higher education assumes a relevant role as it is vital to build the future of
the society. It is the basis to obtain new skills, knowledge as well as new ideals
necessary to an effective sociocultural and economic development. To understand
and follow its progress is a concern for all those that are interested in being updated
with the most recent knowledge. At the organizational level, it is critical that all
its professionals, with a particular emphasis to managers and engineers, possess
the necessary knowledge to guide the organization to success. This is why Higher
Education: Progress for Management and Engineering is of huge importance for
all those who somehow have interests in the organization, namely, researchers,
academics, managers, and engineers.
The development of a new book about Higher Education: Progress for Management
and Engineering is essential because:
• It introduces new lines of research in sustainable education in management
and engineering fields;
• It contributes to a deeper knowledge in higher education for managers and
engineers;
• The theories, strategies, and tools presented and discussed in the diverse
chapter contributions will allow researchers, academics, managers, and
engineers to take a more strategic role in their organizations.
Many of us, either as academics/researchers or in the different jobs in organizations,
found workers with excellent technical and behavioural skills. It is critical for them
to know how to do, know how to be, and know how to know. These knowledge,

abilities, and competences are obtained from higher education, which is seen as a
relevant tool necessary to obtain competitive and dynamic organizations, leading
them to the desired success in national and international markets.
Looking to promote research related to these new trends and developments in the
field of management and engineering, the present book, divided in seven chapters,
covers in Chapter 1 “Integrity in Higher Education: Revisiting Mary Parker Follett to
Break New Ground”, while Chapter 2 discusses “Digital Transformation in Higher
Education Institutions: Key Factors for ERP Projects Leadership”. Chapter 3 focuses
“Academic Training Contribution to the Development of a Leadership Profile”,
at the same time, Chapter 4 deals with “Higher Education Policy and Widening
Participation: An Overview”. Chapter 5 contains information about “The Role of
Public Universities in Entrepreneurship in Mexico”, while Chapter 6 highlights
“Working with Students on Establishing a Student-Oriented Classroom Culture: A
Teaching Initiative Designed to Build an Inclusive and Highly Engaging Learning
Environment in Online and Face to Face Environments”. Finally, Chapter 7 speaks
about “Human Resource Management in Education: A Brief Overview”.
Higher Education: Progress for Management and Engineering, able to be used by
academics, researchers, human resources managers, managers, engineers, and other
professionals in related matters, addresses several dimensions of higher education/
sustainable education and its impact on business and the organization competitive-
ness. Management and engineering in competitive organizations can be deeper
improved with high levels of education of its collaborators. Like in other areas of
management, it enables managers and engineers with a set of tools, knowledge, and
strategies to better manage people, and so entrepreneurs stand to gain from it.
The editors acknowledge their gratitude to CRC Press/Taylor & Francis Group for
this opportunity and for their professional support. Finally, we would like to thank to
all chapter authors for their interest and availability to work on this project.
