This book emerges from research done for my doctoral dissertation, but no book is written alone. Many people have helped me along the way. As such, I acknowledge my dissertation committee from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champagne (UIUC): Professor William Trent, Professor Jennifer Greene, Professor Nick Burbules, Professor Kern Alexander, Professor Dail Fields, and Professor Stanley O. Ikenberry for their guidance.
A number of experts in leadership studies, higher education, research methodology, and other fields in the United States and other countries, including several university presidents and chancellors, provided valuable guidance, for which I am very grateful: Fazal Rizvi, Robert Stake, Adrianna Kezar, Robert Birnbaum, Richard Morrill, Nathan Harter, the late Richard Couto, the late James Burns, Philip Altbach, Brian Earn, Joanne Ciulla, Mansour Javidan, Bruce Erickson, Roya Ayman, Karen Korabik, Michael Peters, John Sebastian, James Roach, Ray Lu, Brady Deaton, Richard Herman, and Joseph White. In addition, Dr. Stanley O. Ikenberry, Dr. James Underson, Dr. Richard Herman, Dr. James Roach, Dr. Huisheng Tian, Dr. Shuxing Li, Dr. Jianfeng Chen, and many others assisted me with gaining access to the participants.
I am also thankful to the International Association of University Presidents and several university presidents and senior leaders in China and the United States for their additional assistance in gaining access to participants. My special thanks go to the Chinese university presidents and other administrators, faculty, and students who allowed me to interview them.
I am grateful to my former students at Ocean University of China and Wei Jiang for their work in transcribing the data. I extend deep appreciation to Raymond Lou, James Roach, Bruce Erickson, David Klath, Keven Dolan, Mariahn Watkins, Amanda Rooker, and Ma Xin for their helpful editing of the book manuscript. My sincere thanks go to Bob Colvin for his consultation and editing. In addition, Christopher Newport University provided a generous faculty development grant to assist in the preparation of this final manuscript.
Lastly, I want to express special gratitude to my son, Runtian Bai, for his technological assistance, professional assistance (including data transcription and translation), and emotional and intellectual support throughout the project.
