Resources, Capabilities and Competition in Higher Education Professor

چکیده
Once a relatively stable industry operating in a benign environment, global higher education is undergoing dramatic change. Higher education institutions (HEIs) now face a variety of challenges including globalisation, changes in funding arrangements and the emergence of organisations like consultancies that are moving into the ‘education space’. Increasingly, there is a need to think in competitive terms and many senior management teams are not equipped with the necessary skills. This paper presents a review of the major challenges facing HEIs and then draws on extant theory from the resource-based view of the firm (RBV) to offer a number of propositions regarding the types of resources and capabilities that will be needed in order to compete successfully.
