Working as an administrator in higher education often requires a graduate degree in order to qualify for entry-level positions. Yet, graduate programmes in higher education are often criticised for not adequately training students for their first administrative responsibilities. In this qualitative study, researchers asked a wide range of higher…

Sabzalieva, Emma – Perspectives: Policy and Practice in Higher Education, 2015
Largely unknown to most of the world, Kyrgyzstan has a flourishing higher education (HE) sector, with more universities per head than other countries with similar populations. Kyrgyzstan is also a major regional importer of international students in Central Asia. This paper opens up this understudied country in three ways: first, through a brief…

Palfreyman, David – Perspectives: Policy and Practice in Higher Education, 2015
This article explores the possible impact (beyond the appointment of a Director of Compliance for HE managers) once the Higher Education Act 2016 has created OFTE--the Office for Tertiary Education Regulation.

Williams, Gareth – Perspectives: Policy and Practice in Higher Education, 2012
During the half century of the AUA's existence UK universities have experienced the fastest rate of growth and most far-reaching changes in their history. Funding arrangements in particular have changed radically. Since 1961 the finance office has been transformed from a small group of bean counters into a key management group at the heart of all…

Chapleo, Chris; Simms, Christopher – Perspectives: Policy and Practice in Higher Education, 2010
The issue of stakeholder identification and management is relatively well understood in the literature for private sector organisations, and its importance is increasing across all developed countries.

Baldwin, Jon F. – Perspectives: Policy and Practice in Higher Education, 2009
UK higher education has a proud tradition stretching back centuries, with St. Andrews almost 600 years old, and teaching having existed at Oxford for more than 900 years. There is no reason why universities established more recently should not demonstrate similar longevity. The management of stakeholders has always been central to the successful…

Bell, Gary; Warwick, Jon; Kennedy, Mike – Perspectives: Policy and Practice in Higher Education, 2009
The emergence of "managerialism" in the governance and direction of UK higher education (HE) institutions has been led by government demands for greater accountability in the quality and cost of universities. There is emerging anecdotal evidence indicating that the estimation performance of HE spreadsheets and regression models are poor.…

Kenward, Jack – Perspectives: Policy and Practice in Higher Education, 2008
This article is based on sessions at AUA Conferences in 2006 and 2007, which looked at some factors to take into account when considering the structure of the administration.

Ferrell, Gill – Perspectives: Policy and Practice in Higher Education, 2007
Like it or not, an institution's IT infrastructure is a matter with which institutional strategic planners must concern themselves.

Coen, Michael; Kelly, Ursula – Perspectives: Policy and Practice in Higher Education, 2007
In the 21st Century, IT Governance is, within the broader corporate governance context, critical for all organisations. Those without an IT governance strategy face significant risks; those with one perform measurably better (Calder 2005). There has been little field based research on IT governance, and few publications help managers understand…

Whitchurch, Celia – Perspectives: Policy and Practice in Higher Education, 2007
Professional managers in UK universities represent an increasingly diverse grouping of staff. As boundaries blur between academic activity and the contributory functions required to deliver that activity in mass higher education systems and markets, their roles have become more fluid. Quasi-academic territories are developing in which professional…
