چکیده
Th is paper is concerned with management processes in inter-institutional alliances in higher education, using an action research case study of a strategic alliance for research, teaching and the provision of services between two British universities.

Experiences stress that change leaders must take multifaceted roles in a situation of considerable organisational complexity and their roles will change depending not only on the scale of the collaboration but also on its scope, including the number of organisational boundaries to be crossed.
