description

The operational context for higher education institutions has become increasingly competitive: universities have to compete on national and international markets for students, staff, funding and prestige. The emergence of various markets, market mechanisms and competition in higher education have become a well-established and much discussed fact, and have shaped the dynamics of the higher education arena (Enders & Jongbloed 2007; Texeira et al. 2004) In a global competition of knowledge societies, higher education institutions have been vested with the task of economic and social change, and are expected to contribute to the competitiveness of nationstates as well as their local communities.
