Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last few decades universities in Australia and overseas have been criticized for not meeting the needs and expectations of the societies in which they operate. At the heart of this problem is their strategy. This book reviews the organizational-level strategies of some of Australia’s prominent universities. It is based on their public documents that boldly report how they see their role in society and how they intend to navigate the future. These strategic statements are written to proclaim relevance, showcase achievements, attract students, and help to gain the support of the communities in which they operate. Using a strategy framework taught in their business schools, this book suggests that most such statements are deficient. Grand aspirations substitute for realistic operations and outcomes. The analysis also suggests that many of Australia’s universities are poorly governed and have become too complex and bureaucratic. A greater focus on their core responsibilities would help alleviate their current funding predicament.

This book was released on 2019-08-30 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professorial Dissertation from the year 2019 in the subject Communications - Public Relations, Advertising, Marketing, Social Media, grade: 10, Università degli Studi di Milano, language: English, abstract: This study aims to explore the internationalisation in higher education in Australia. The increasing globalisation and interdependence of world economies, and the revolution in ICTs (information and communication technologies) have made it imperative for universities to be truly international in character and outlook. The result of this study on the Australian educational scenario has revealed that internationalisation of higher education is a complex, multidimensional and often fragmented process that includes different rationales varying greatly according to cultural and economic insights: it ranges from international research collaboration, to horizontal mobility for both international and national students as well as a focus on a more interdisciplinary and international curricula. Overall, by comparison with the other Anglo-Saxon countries, the results of this study have shown that the development of internationalisation in higher education in Australia has three peculiar features: the first is the unambiguously commercial nature, according to which innovative strategies (such as a proper destination branding borrowed from the tourism industry) were put in place through promotional recruiting agencies abroad and other national entities that sponsored a massive participation in student recruitment fairs. Secondly, there was an exponential market growth of non-academic student servicing, which surpassed academic and research capacity: as a result of this marketing and recruitment as well as complimentary services are managed by commercial companies associated with the university. The third and final feature specific to Australia is its ability to be a pioneer in the provision of educational opportunities overseas through the development of offshore campuses particularly active in the Asia-Pacific region, with the aim of awarding students under the foreign university name.
Download or read book Internationalising Higher Education In The Asia Pacific Case Of Australia Japan And Singapore written by Teofilo C Daquila and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2022-07-28 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With his many years of overseas experiences as an international student, educator and scholar, Teofilo C Daquila has conducted his research on the internationalisation of higher education (IHE), as it has become an important policy issue and research topic for governments and universities around the world. He aims to determine the extent of internationalisation of higher education in the Asia-Pacific region particularly in Australia, Singapore and Japan in terms of its determinants and impacts using a multi- and inter-disciplinary framework of analysis, through historical, political, geographical, economic, social, and cultural dimensions.Daquila examines three leading universities in the world as case studies to determine their internationalisation experiences and the extent of their competitiveness. These are the University of Melbourne, the National University of Singapore, and Kyoto University. He uses four indicators of competitiveness: governance and structure, demand conditions, factor conditions, and internationalisation strategies (using the following indicators of IHE: expansion, broadening/diversification, deepening and facilitation).This book is highly recommended for anyone interested in the internationalisation of higher education, its determinants and multiple perspectives, the competitiveness and internationalisation experiences and strategies of universities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years the Australian Government s relationship to universities has become one of greater involvement as political circles recognise the escalation in the significance of higher education as a key determinant in Australia s economic, social, cultural and intellectual development.The increasing role of government in universities is largely a consequence of this recognition, but it is also due in part to changes in the way governments approach the public sector and publicly funded institutions. What the government wants from its universities; why it wants it; what it is doing to ensure that it gets what it wants and the results of its actions is well documented. What is missing is how universities themselves perceive the impact of the Government s increasing involvement. Although universities have much to say about how current and proposed Government policies affect their working environment they are not given much of a venue to opine. As such there is a lack of literature on how universities perceive the impact of this increasing involvement. This dissertation aims to fill this gap.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Universities, like other industries, are challenged by disruptive market forces. Today there are nearly forty public universities in Australia. Some predict that by 2070 there may be only ten institutions left globally to deliver higher education. Relentless inventiveness and entrepreneurial agendas promise students a world of unbounded study options. In this powerful meditation on the need for institutional diversity, Glyn Davis argues that experimentation, innovation and resilience are the only way the public university will endure.

Download or read book Australia s Defence Strategy written by Adam Lockyer and published by Melbourne Univ. Publishing. This book was released on 2017-01-30 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How would we know a good defence strategy if we saw one? The Asian Century is challenging many of the traditional assumptions at the heart of Australian defence policy and strategy. Defence scholars have risen to the challenge of these transformational times and have collectively produced a smorgasbord of alternatives for policy-makers. The problem is that these recommendations all point in very different directions. How should we evaluate these options? Adam Lockyer tackles this question and develops a novel conceptual framework for evaluating defence strategies. By doing so, this book breaks new theoretical ground and makes an important contribution to our understanding of strategy in general and defence strategy in particular. Lockyer then applies this analytical tool to the leading arguments in Australia’s defence debate and finds that there is still substantial work to be done. Lockyer concludes by proposing a new Australian defence strategy for a contested Asia that would pass the test for a ‘good’ defence strategy. The result is essential reading for anyone interested in strategy or the future of Australian defence policy.
Download or read book White Paper How to attract Asian international students to study in Australia written by Kalyan Cherukuri and published by Asian International Students of Australia . This book was released on 2021-04-01 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International students play a pivotal role in the Australian higher education landscape and the economy. In 2019 alone, international students' education services generated more than $40 billion in export income (money paid from overseas sources). Asian international students represent the largest segment, accounting for 83 per cent of the cohort in Australia. Despite their significant contribution – and well before the devastating impact of COVID-19 on the industry – international students were becoming disillusioned with Australia as a study destination. Asian International Students of Australia (AISA) suggests implementing strategies to attract and retain international students. These include: 1. End workplace exploitation 2. Grant travel concession in all jurisdictions 3. Provide safe and affordable accommodation.

This book was released on 2022-02-11 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The COVID-19 pandemic has forced countries around the globe into lockdown, imposing trade and travel restrictions with devastating economic impacts on all sectors of the economy. In working toward greater economic stability, Australia has been strengthening its trade relations with other countries, which is reflected through its increased strategic relations with India. However, it is now essential to explore how Australia is working to further expand its collaboration with other South Asian countries and find new markets and opportunities for trade, investment, tourism, international education, and business dealings for its resources, services, manufacturing, and technology sectors. Strategic Cooperation and Partnerships Between Australia and South Asia: Economic Development, Trade, and Investment Opportunities Post COVID-19 provides an overview of the Australian trade and investment relationship with South Asian countries and identifies the trends and developments of bilateral trade agreements in strategic areas of trade, tourism, investment, education, prior and post COVID-19. Covering topics such as international trade, climate change policy, and macroeconomics, it is ideal for policymakers, practitioners, industry professionals, government officials, academicians, researchers, instructors, and students.
Download or read book The Corporatization and Environmental Sustainability of Australian Universities written by Hans Baer and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-11-08 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analysing the juxtaposition of two trends in universities – corporatisation and environmental sustainability – this book explores how they are more contradictory than compatible. Hans A Baer argues that this contradiction is unavoidable because of the capitalist parameters in which they operate, including a commitment to on-going economic growth which contributes to social inequality, environmental degradation, and greenhouse gas emissions. Drawing on archival sources and Baer’s experiences in university sustainability forums, the book exposes how what universities claim to do in relation to environmental sustainability compares with their research, educational, operational and institutional activities. Presenting a critique of and a radical alternative to the status quo, this book is suitable for academics and students of anthropology, environmental studies and higher education.
Download or read book Higher Education Policy and Institutional Change written by Paul Trowler and published by Open University Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book does not see policy and policy making as distinct from or 'above' processes of implementation and change. It acknowledges that policy is made in ways other than in formal settings of government or vice-chancellors' offices. Policy is also 'made' as it is received, interpreted and implemented in different locales, and it is made too as academics go about their daily business (whether they are aware of this or not). Therefore, this volume focuses on three levels of analysis: national policy making; institutional strategy; and the ground level of departments and individual academics. Examples from various countries (featuring, for instance, deregulation and new managerialism) are analysed in the light of recent theoretical understandings of the policy process, and they address the key question of how and why the intentions of policy makers often result in unintended consequences." "Higher Education Policy and Institutional Change captures the complexities, compromises, contradictions and localized character of policy making for, and change within, universities and colleges."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Strategic Narratives Public Opinion and War written by Beatrice De Graaf and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-02-11 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores the way governments endeavoured to build and maintain public support for the war in Afghanistan, combining new insights on the effects of strategic narratives with an exhaustive series of case studies. In contemporary wars, with public opinion impacting heavily on outcomes, strategic narratives provide a grid for interpreting the why, what and how of the conflict. This book asks how public support for the deployment of military troops to Afghanistan was garnered, sustained or lost in thirteen contributing nations. Public attitudes in the US, Canada, Australia and Europe towards the use of military force were greatly shaped by the cohesiveness and content of the strategic narratives employed by national policy-makers. Assessing the ability of countries to craft a successful strategic narrative, the book addresses the following key areas: 1) how governments employ strategic narratives to gain public support; 2) how strategic narratives develop during the course of the conflict; 3) how these narratives are disseminated, framed and perceived through various media outlets; 4) how domestic audiences respond to strategic narratives; 5) how this interplay is conditioned by both events on the ground, in Afghanistan, and by structural elements of the domestic political systems. This book will be of much interest to students of international intervention, foreign policy, political communication, international security, strategic studies and IR in general.
