Some Final Thoughts.Over the last few decades universities in Australia and overseas have been criticized for not meeting the needs and expectations of the societies in which they operate. At the heart of this problem is their strategy. This book reviews the organizational-level strategies of some of Australia’s prominent universities. It is based on their public documents that boldly report how they see their role in society and how they intend to navigate the future. These strategic statements are written to proclaim relevance, showcase achievements, attract students, and help to gain the support of the communities in which they operate. Using a strategy framework taught in their business schools, this book suggests that most such statements are deficient. Grand aspirations substitute for realistic operations and outcomes. The analysis also suggests that many of Australia’s universities are poorly governed and have become too complex and bureaucratic. A greater focus on their core responsibilities would help alleviate their current funding predicament. .EducationEconomic aspectsEconomic developmentFinance, PublicSocial choiceWelfare economicsExecutivesTraining ofStrategic planningLeadershipEducation EconomicsEconomic Development, Innovation and GrowthPublic EconomicsSocial Choice and WelfareManagement EducationBusiness Strategy and LeadershipEducationEconomic aspects.Economic development.Finance, Public.Social choice.Welfare economics.ExecutivesTraining of.Strategic planning.Leadership.Education Economics.Economic Development, Innovation and Growth.Public Economics.Social Choice and Welfare.Management Education.Business Strategy and Leadership.170.835Devinney Timothyauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut111342Dowling Grahame R(Grahame Robert),authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910409669803321The Strategies of Australia’s Universities2095504UNINA
