The research will engage HEIs of various natures and from different parts of the world. Both theoretical underpinning and practical experiences & cases will be studied and analysed. Researchers in the area of education, governance, leadership, organisational culture, pedagogy, innovations, professional development, management, public administration, institutional analysis, strategic management, etc. are welcome to engage in research on the suggested theme. The research will be situated at an international level by interacting with relevant professors and researchers from various continents and countries.
