Funded Activity Summary

The transformation of higher education in Australia and the Netherlands: a comparative study of adaptation in the post-industrial era. The project seeks to improve understanding of how higher education institutions respond to and increasingly turbulent/fluid environment. Comparatively grounded, the study examines how Australian and Dutch higher education institutions interpret environmental pressures (including government policy) and translate this into strategic responses, such as through the formation of strategic alliances with other institutions. The project provides information of theoretical and practical use on how higher education institutions operate in an increasing complex social, political and economic environment and better informs oplicy makers and institutional leaders alike about the intricacies and unintended consequences of the interaction of policy, environment and institutional behaviour.
