A Tale of Two Strategies for Higher Education and Economic Recovery: Ireland and Australia
(2010)
Hazelkorn, Ellen; Massaro, Vin
A Tale of Two Strategies for Higher Education and Economic Recovery: Ireland and Australia
(2010)
Hazelkorn, Ellen; Massaro, Vin
Abstract:
As Dirk van Damme suggested (van Damme, 2009), the effects of the global financial crisis (GFC) have been manifold and complex and affected countries differently. Australia and Ireland have fared very differently in the GFC so choices will inevitably have been influenced by their relative capacity to spend on higher education. Since 1988 Australia has had a unitary, government-regulated but independent higher education system with block funding from a combination of government allocations and student contributions. In contrast, Ireland retains a government-regulated binary system dependent upon public investment and direct government control of staffing budgets. In recent years, both countries have reviewed their higher education system (Australia 2008, Ireland 2009-2010). The Australian review forms the basis of the government’s intention to further deregulate the system by removing enrolment caps, while Ireland’s higher education is caught up in a drive for efficiency and rational...

An Action Plan for Implementing Responsible Management Education in Business Schools in the UK and Ireland
(2015)
O'Connell, Maeve; Sweeney, Lorraine, Dr
Abstract:
Recent corporate scandals have resulted in criticism of business schools for graduating students who put too much emphasis on shareholder value and profit maximisation but neglect the broader social and environmental context in which businesses operate. The Principles for Responsible Management (PRME) are a set of voluntary standards developed in 2007 under the coordination of the UN Global Compact, to address weaknesses in ethical education. This paper reviews the context of the PRME principles and UK and Irish school signatories’ approaches to implementation through a review of their reports to PRME to outline the range of options available to a business school considering implementing the principles across all aspects of the education portfolio. The paper concludes with an implementation strategy for a business school considering PRME membership.

Bar raising or Navel-Gazing?:the Effectiveness of Self-Study Programmes in eading to Improvements in Institutional Performance
(2006)
Lillis, Deirdre
Abstract:
Higher Education Institutes worldwide are investing significant resources in self study programmes to improve institutional performance, to enhance quality and to meet external stakeholder demands. The institutional impacts of both internally and externally mandated self study programmes is an area where little empirical research exists. A key question is whether self study programmes are effective (or otherwise) in leading to improvements in institutional performance and the reasons why. Covering an eight year period, from 1997–2006, this paper reports on the use of systematic evaluation methodology (Rossi et al., 2003) to evaluate the effectiveness of three self study programmes in leading to improvements in institutional performance. The impact of the programmes was assessed in two ways: (i) the degree to which the programme met its stated goals and objectives (including peer review panel recommendations) and (ii) other impacts (intended or otherwise). The methods of inquiry used...

Challenges of Growing Research at New and Emerging HEIs

Challenges of Growing Research at New and Emerging HEIs
(2002)
Hazelkorn, Ellen
Abstract:
Newer institutions are accused of adopting the accoutrements of traditional universities, actively copying their research profile and teaching programmes, and engaging in ‘academic’ or ‘mission’ drift. For others, however, these changes are part of the natural or inevitable process of institutional development and historical change, or a further step in the democratisation of the ‘Humboltian ethic’ (Neave, 2000, p265). If massification and expansion in 1960s differentiated the second stage in higher educational development from its elite origins, then the late 1990s marked the beginning of the third stage. By then, it was clear that a broadly educated population could no longer be formed by and within universities alone. In societies where knowledge and knowledge creation are highly privileged and integral to both national and institutional prestige, advanced learning and research capacity are allied and critical. Paradoxically, by seeking to conform to their mission, new and emergi...

Dialogue and Roles in a Strategy Workshop: Discovering Patterns through Discourse Analysis

Dialogue and Roles in a Strategy Workshop: Discovering Patterns through Discourse Analysis
(2010)
Duffy, Martin
Abstract:
Strategy workshops are frequently used by Executive management teams to discuss and formulate strategy but are under-researched and under-reported in the academic literature. This study uses Discourse Analysis to discover participant roles and dialogic patterns in an Executive management team’s strategy workshop, together with their effect on the workshop’s operation and outcome. The study shows how the workshop participants adopt different roles through their language and content. It then identifies a dialogic pattern in the workshop discourse, with the emphasis on achieving shared understanding rather than winning the debate. The workshop facilitator’s role is shown to bring discussion as a counter balance to the group’s dialogue, focusing the evolving dialogic discourse on actionable outcomes. The study goes on to show how these two discourse features combine to enable a comprehensive exploration of a strategic topic in a limited time frame and to build a consensus based strategy...

Engaging the Academic Heartland:a Key Factor in the Effectiveness of Strategic Planning and Self Study Programs.
(2007)
Lillis, Deirdre
Abstract:
Conventional wisdom in the literature attests to the importance of involving academic staff in strategic planning and self study programs but there is a lack of empirical evidence to substantiate this argument. This paper reports on the findings of an empirical investigation of the effectiveness of three strategic planning and three self study programs, undertaken in one Higher Education Institute (HEI), between 1997 and 2006. It was found that the level of engagement of academic staff was a key factor in the effectiveness of the programs – the more engagement the more effective the programs were. The research methodology was based on six systematic program evaluations (Rossi et al. 2003) and the main data sources used were documents (e.g. Proceedings of the Governing Body, Academic Council, senior management team, etc.) and interviews with n=17 members of the management team.

Enhancing Connections between Internship and Education
(2017)
Cullen, Frank
Abstract:
This model provides a structure to develop an enhanced the learner experience. The concept of internship is complex. It hinges on the relationships and connections between the Schools, student, industry and institutions. It relates to the quality of the engagement with academic, administrative and support staff as well as their interaction with and for students and potential employers. At the institutes core should be the quality, breadth and appropriateness of internship that the student and industry experience.

Enhancing the academic and social learning of Irish undergraduates through emotional and social skills development.
(2013)
Carthy, Aiden; McCann, Celesta; McGilloway, Sinead; McGuinness, Colm
Abstract:
This paper considers the potential merits of emotional competency coaching for undergraduate students. We outline the findings from our previous work which showed, for example, that a sample of First Year undergraduate students failed to engage with coaching primarily because it was not a mandatory aspect of the curricula. An analysis of the National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ) - which details the specific learning outcomes that must be achieved by all Irish academic syllabi found that this framework makes scant reference to the development of social and emotional skills. Therefore, a revised working model of the NFQ is proposed, which incorporates learning outcomes related to emotional and social development at all levels of academic attainment.

Growth Strategies and Intellectual Capital Formation in New and Emerging HEIs

Growth Strategies and Intellectual Capital Formation in New and Emerging HEIs
(2003)
Hazelkorn, Ellen
Abstract:
Higher educational institutions are being asked to contribute more effectively and efficiently to economic growth, innovation and intellectual capital. As they do so, the academy has also come under pressure. The content of academic work, the role of faculty, and the balance between teaching, research and service, have, arguably, been restructured, reconfigured and redefined. For academics within traditional universities, pressures for accountability and social relevance have challenged what many valued as ‘their autonomy’. But, for staff within new and emerging HEIs, those formed or reconstituted circa. 1970, there have been different pressures. Many were hired originally as teachers and now face increasing pressures to spend more time conducting research. Growing research is not without costs. Based on an international study, this chapter seeks to understand how new HEIs are responding to the challenges and the extent to which human resources issues impact on institutional and res...

Rankings in Institutional Strategies and Processes: Impact or Illusion
(2014)
Hazelkorn, Ellen; Loukkola, Tia; Zhang, Thérèse
Abstract:
Higher education is undergoing rapid change in response to developments occurring at national and international level. Today, universities’ performance worldwide is increasingly being measured using rankings which have been developed by governmental and/or commercial agencies, at both national and international level. The Rankings in Institutional Strategies and Processes (RISP) project is the first pan-European study of the impact and influence of rankings on European higher education institutions. The project has sought to build understanding of how rankings impact and influence the development of institutional strategies and processes and its results are presented in the publication.

Reconciling Organisational Realities with the Research Mission of the Irish Institutes of Technology

Reconciling Organisational Realities with the Research Mission of the Irish Institutes of Technology
(2007)
Lillis, Deirdre
Abstract:
A key principle in systems theory is that a system, such as a Higher Education Institute (HEI), will self-correct and stabilise to align itself with its overarching ‘system goals’, irrespective of interventions. System goals may be explicit and obvious, such as published performance indicators, however change initiatives can often fail because the initiative is acting against some underlying, implicit and/or hidden system goal. In addition, if one accepts the premise that people will work toward what is recognised and rewarded then the measures of performance used within a HEI are likely to be important forces for change in their own right. Set against a national policy context, this paper investigates the research mission of one Irish Institute of Technology (IOT), covering an 8 year timeframe from 1997-2006. Adopting systems theory principles, the ‘espoused theory’ of the Institute with respect to its research mission, as articulated in its mission statement and strategic plan, is...

Report on the Survey of Governance and Adaptation to Innovative Modes of Higher Education Provision (GAIHE)
(2014)
Gibson, Andrew; Hazelkorn, Ellen; Colfer, Barry
Abstract:
Higher education around the world is undergoing significant change. Globalisation and competition from new modes of provision have sparked a strong debate about how to maintain the efficiency and effectiveness of higher education. These developments challenge the “traditional” model of university education and its future. How does the management of European universities adapt to these innovations? What are the new modes of education provision across Europe? What is the role of university governance and government policy in establishing and regulating innovative modes of education provision? What are the motivations, barriers and drivers for innovative education provision? The definition of innovation used for this project is derived from the OECD’s Oslo Manual, in which innovation is an implemented change with an increased added value. This concept comes from an understanding of innovation from economics that regards knowledge and technology as being responsible for growth, rather t...

Steering by Engagement:Towards an Integrated Planning and Evaluation Framework in Higher Education Institutes

Abstract:
Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) worldwide are investing significant resources in strategic planning and self study programs to improve institutional performance. Both are expensive undertakings in terms of the time invested by participants and it is not unusual to see both programs underway in a HEI at the same time. The underlying knowledge produced about the challenges facing the Institution and the necessary responses can be broadly similar although their methodologies and presentation may differ. This paper reports on the comparative effectiveness of three strategic planning and three self study programs undertaken in one HEI over an 8 year timeframe under a number of criteria. It discusses the introduction of a nationally agreed Performance Management and Development Systems for academic staff in Ireland. Based on the findings from this study the paper presents a model for an integrated planning and evaluation framework and the rationale behind it is discussed. Conclusions a...

Little empirical evidence exists however which demonstrates that these programs are effective in leading to improvements in institutional performance, let alone shed light on the reasons why. This paper reports on the systematic evaluation of the effectiveness of a Strategic Management program in an Irish HEI over a five year period in leading to improvements in institutional performance.
