A critical appreciation of the uses for strategic management thinking, systems and techniques in British universities

Article Abstract:

The UK has been adamant in ensuring the effectivity of its educational system during the 1980's resulting in the formation of committees to assess areas of incompetency in the program, such as lack of strategic planning and dysfunctional administrative systems. As a response, the government has ensured the accountability of universities by providing a market mechanism of funding higher education teaching. Furthemore, strategic planning through analyzing the competitive management of a university was also considered as contributory to a successful university administration.
