Pilbara is proud to be featured in seminal works that shape the way colleges & universities think about resource management and strategy. These books, including Professor Bill Massy’s widely respected titles, underscore Pilbara’s role in advancing evidence-based decision making and supporting higher education leaders worldwide.
Formerly Vice-President for Business and Finance and Vice-Provost, Research at Stanford University, Professor Massy holds a PhD in economics and MS in management from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and a BS from Yale University. Professor Massy’s contributions to higher education are well known. His publications: Planning Models for Colleges and Universities, Resource Allocation in Higher Education, Honoring the Trust: Quality and Cost Containment in Higher Education, Academic Quality Work: A Handbook for Improvement, and Reengineering the University: How to Be Mission Centered, Market Smart, and Margin Conscious have become standards in their respective fields. His latest book, Resource Management for Colleges and Universities is available from Johns Hopkins University Press.
In this audacious book, William F. Massy writes that resource allocation in colleges and universities needs to become more responsive to academic mission, marketplace realities, and the requirements of financial sustainability. Such improvement is needed, he asserts, because few institutions currently have the evidence, know-how, and cultural capacity to take advantage of modern information systems and models. Luckily, today’s academic resourcing models enable academic leaders and faculty to close the gaps and do a significantly better job of controlling costs and improving academic performance.
