Ethics, entrepreneurship, and governance are very essential and crucial for the sustainable development of institutions of higher education, especially in the face of moral ambiguity or ethical lapses that could occur. As such, it is vital to explore how to facilitate the effective and efficient development of higher education institutions to put into practice ethical behaviors and entrepreneurial values for the progressive future of society.

Featuring coverage topics such academic misconduct, ethical leadership, and student values, this publication is ideally designed for educational administrators, professors, academicians, researchers, and graduate-level students seeking current research on the impact of globalization on the ethics and governance in higher education through various policy decisions and practices.
Globalization, digitalization, and a rapid technological development of many areas of life and society, bring humanity to another level of development. Changes in the educational organizations are inevitable and the university must meet new requirements in a new paradigm (Gafurov, Safiullin, Akhmetshin, Gapsalamov, & Vasilev, 2020). Universities, as institutions capable of thinking the future, assume an increasingly relevant role at the level of the growing importance of science and its social and economic impact. In this line of thought, their metamorphosis should be promoted. This renewal requires four movements: from employability to general, humanistic, and scientific education; from the excellence of academic productivism to the valorisation of pedagogy and teaching and training work; from entrepreneurialism to a sense of community; from entrepreneurship to public responsibility (Nóvoa, 2019).
