Based on recognition, evaluation, and exploitation of
opportunities, entrepreneurship is a process that stimulates
economic growth, provides us with new products and services, and
serves as a solution to low unemployment rates. Hence, many
governments encourage their citizens to embrace entrepreneurship as
a strategy to mitigate unemployment, particularly youth and
graduate unemployment. While studies show that entrepreneurship
education has yielded positive results in Western countries, in
other parts of the world it seems that most students still prefer
to seek paid employment in their career of choice. Promoting
Entrepreneurship to Reduce Graduate Unemployment seeks to expand
understanding of the barriers that face graduates in becoming
entrepreneurs in various countries, examining the role of
educational institutions in promoting graduate entrepreneurship and
evaluating governments as well as other schemes that promote
graduate entrepreneurship. Although it will not be a panacea for
all the obstacles that impede graduate entrepreneurship, it is
hoped that this book will illuminate the entrepreneurship career
path, serve as a platform for further diagnosis for reducing
graduate unemployment, and highlight areas in need of further
research. Covering topics such as entrepreneurial self-efficacy,
career choice, and educated unemployment, it serves as a dynamic
resource for educators, educational administration and faculty,
government institutions, graduate students, student organizations,
professionals, researchers, and academicians.

Quality accreditation in higher education institutions (HEIs) is
currently a buzzword. The need to maintain high-quality education
standards is a critical requirement for HEIs to remain competitive
in the market and for government and regulatory bodies to ensure
the quality standards of programs offered. From being an implicit
requirement that is internally addressed, quality assurance
activities become an explicit requirement that is regularly audited
and appraised by national and international accreditation agencies.
HEIs are voluntarily integrating quality management systems (QMS),
institutional and program-specific, in response to the political
and competitive environment in which it exists. Through its higher
education department or by creating non-profitable accreditation
bodies, many governments have implemented a quality framework for
licensing HEIs and invigilates its adherence based on which
accreditation statuses are granted for HEIs. Global Perspectives on
Quality Assurance and Accreditation in Higher Education
Institutions provides a comprehensive framework for HEIs to address
quality assurance and quality accreditation requirements and serves
as a practical tool to develop and deploy well-defined quality
management systems in higher education. The book focuses on the
critical aspects of quality assurance; the need to develop a
concise and agile vision, mission, values, and graduate attributes;
and to develop a system that effectively aligns the various
activities of the HEI to the attainment of the strategic priorities
listed in the institutional plans. The chapters each cover the
various facets of the quality assurance framework and accreditation
agencies' requirements with practical examples of each. This book
is useful for HEI administrators, quality assurance specialists in
HEIs, heads of academic departments, internal auditors, external
auditors, and other practitioners of quality, along with
stakeholders, researchers, academicians, and students interested in
quality assurance and accreditation in higher education.
