With contributions from several Asia-Pacific countries, this book
compares performance and productivity in higher education from the
perspective of institutional change. Using multiple methods and
datasets and including case studies from Australia, Cambodia,
China, Malaysia, India and Japan, the authors focus on shedding
light on the efficacy of institutional policies and reforms. The
worldwide Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) in higher education neared 40
per cent in 2020 due to the dramatic increase in enrolments in many
developing economies, especially in Asia. This significant increase
in the number of students in higher education brings great benefits
but requires major ongoing investment by governments around the
world. This growth has followed waves of internationalization and
marketization, and universities are undergoing substantial change
in their organization and character. The goal of many institutional
policies and reforms has been better performance and higher
productivity. Yet little is known about whether they have achieved
this aim. Students, government officials and university leaders all
have the right to ask whether the outcomes of higher education
justify the costs of running the system. Although increasing
attention has been paid to higher education institutions'
management and operation, the study of higher education performance
and productivity is still in its relative infancy compared to other
enterprises. Written for students and scholars interested in higher
education management and productivity, this book will also appeal
to government officials and university leaders keen to know more
about institutional reform and how to achieve better performance.
