THE QUEST FOR A WORLD CLASS UNIVERSITY: DEFINING THE GOAL FOR AN EMERGING ECONOMY

Abstract

"In the past ten to fifteen years policy makers, scholars, development advisers, industry chief executives and academic leaders have all been grappling with how to create, develop and maintain a university that is recognised as one of the best in the world. Motivations for this pursuit revolve around increasing economic competiveness and diversity, being part of the global scientific community, national prestige or pride and talent creation and retention." --
