This dissertation is an attempt to promote complementarity among churches in order to affect their activities in doing mission in the Vaal Triangle region. The study tends to uncover the potential of cooperation, unity and partnership in the Body of Christ in the area which may also be an example to the churches in other cities outside the Vaal Triangle. The purpose of this is to raise the consciousness of specialization of ministries in mission to achieve greater results through target evangelism. The literature review in the second chapter revealed the biblical and theological basis of the concept. In this context complementarity is explained as churches, Para church organizations, ministers and to a certain extent, government agencies, working together to complement one another with their distinctive resources, skills and abilities to tackle the crucial issues in their communities. The complementary approach that was implemented by the Apostles during the early church show case that we have different callings which when they are all put together, work in such a way that there can never be competition but partnership. Diversity of callings directs a diverse approach to a diverse society. The literature review also highlights that a complementary approach has been there even in the Old Testament and gives insight into other related concepts like stewardship and target evangelism. Due to the fact that there are diverse groups and that the Gospel must be preached to such, it becomes imperative to target such groups with 'specialists' that will meet the exact challenges among those groups. The growing understanding that Vaal Triangle with its political history is becoming a complex area with all diverse demographics, bring to light the possibility of churches working together as an organism in spite of their distinctiveness. These fast changing demographics oblige the churches to develop complementary strategies that will match the urban growth challenges in the area as well as the evolving societal problems. There are still some underlying challenges that the churches need to do in mission work to heal the traumatic effects resulting from the previous violent era. An empirical study done among few churches found out that the churches believe that a complementary approach is necessary. Although there has been a healthy cooperation and unity in the Vaal Triangle churches history, duplication and competition have also grown like weeds and has resulted in membership recycling (moving from church to church) and less fresh new conversions. As the city evolves, there are new dynamics that requires winsome partnerships, diversity, and ministry specialization as well as target evangelism. The conclusions that the research arrived at, gave rise to recommendations that are very practical to the context of the Vaal Triangle churches.<br>Thesis (M.A. (Biblical Studies/Theology))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2010.

Doctor of Education<br>Department of Educational Leadership<br>Trudy Salsberry<br>Institutional advancement is a constant challenge for leaders at institutions of higher education. The continued threat to historically black college and universities (HBCU) survival, due to the lack of resources they need to operate and compete, is at the forefront of concerns for many HBCU presidents and supporters. Research suggests that to have success in acquiring more resources, universities will need to work with their alumni associations and foundations. The purpose of this qualitative, multi-case study was to contribute to the limited research on the relationships among HBCU leaders responsible for growing resources. Numerous aspects contribute to increasing alumni giving and this study will contribute to that knowledge. The discussion of inter-organizational relationships and how the processes of cooperation, coordination, and collaboration transpire should be a part of the dialogue. Exploration of these relationships and processes can highlight possible solutions and deficiencies in the success of institutional advancement. Sites for this study were purposefully selected to examine these inter-organizational relationships. Data included in-depth interviews and related documents and artifacts. Thirty patterns and three themes emerged from the data analysis. The three themes include an understanding that (a) “working together” enacts cooperation, coordination, and collaboration; (b) human capital and organizational structures affect coordination and the ability to reach goals; and (c) the goal for increased resource capacity focuses the efforts of cooperation, coordination, and collaboration. This study extends the discussion to looking at inter-organizational relationships as another perspective to enhance resources. This investigation also introduces dialogue about alumni association and foundation volunteerism as an important component in developing effective solutions. The understandings portrayed in the identified themes will help university officials, practitioners, advancement volunteers, and supporters of higher education enhance their institutional advancement strategies and help set forth norms for productive behaviors.

<p>Alongside the complementary and alternative medicine movements, a new concept is emerging: integrative medicine. Though more and more authors have begun to use this term, they use it to refer to widely varying concepts of health care. This study begins with a theoretical look at integration and continues with an examination of current integrative efforts. These general discussions are followed by the presentation of the situation in Sweden, and at the Vidarklinik in particular. Finally the study turns to an empirical study investigating the communication between the Vidarklinik and the outside biomedical system. The research suggests a much more comprehensive picture of integrative medicine than those put forward by most authors and finds that to create and maintain an integrative system, all the levels of health care must be actively engaged in the system and the entire spectrum of care must be coordinated for the patient. Attempts at integration are found in diverse local efforts, which are all limited by lack of cooperation between different levels of health care. The study of communication at the Vidarklinik in Sweden illustrates that communication is crucial between all levels of health care in order for even relatively localised efforts in integration, and further that various factors limit whom various individuals and groups can communicate with, while in-person dialogue mitigates some of these factors.</p>

(The importance of universities for the development of regions, possible benefits and risks) In the framework of this thesis, the present state of Czech university education system will be described in the opening chapter. After defining the methodology of research, the relation between universities and the particular regions will be analysed and possible forms of cooperation described. Within the investigation the level of cooperation between universities and companies in the region Hradec Králové will be evaluated, based on outcome of the research problematic areas of cooperation defined and steps toward future effective cooperation proposed.

Kroniska sjukdomar ökar världen över, i både utvecklings- och industrialiserade länder. Mäniskor som lider av kroniska sjukdomar finner ofta den västerländska medicinen oförmögen att behandla deras sjukdommar, och vänder sig istället till traditionell, komplementär och alternativ medicin [TM/CAM]. TM/CAM har visat sig vara effektiv vid prevention och behandling av kroniska sjukdomar, varför det är av stort intresse att undersöka möjligheten för ökad integration av TM/CAM inom de nationella sjukvårdssystemen. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka de krafter som främjar respektive förhindrar kommunikation och samarbete mellan utövare av ayurveda, västerländsk och traditionell medicin, samt att se hur detta påverkar integrationen av de medicinska subsystemen på Sri Lanka. Fokus för studien är ett specifikt samarbetsprojekt, “The outcome oriented, evidence informed community health promotion program”, vars mål är att integrera ayurveda och västerländsk medicin inom primärvården. En kvalitativ studie genomfördes under tre månader på Sri Lanka med hjälp av semi-strukturerade intervjuer, deltagande observation samt analys av dokument. Paul Unschulds teori om strukturerad konkurrens, samarbete eller integration användes vid tolkningen av resultaten. Resultaten tyder på att den huvudsakliga formen för samexistens mellan ayurveda och västerländsk medicin på Sri Lanka är strukturerad konkurrens, medan samarbetsprojektet siktar mot att uppnå strukturerat samarbete. Det parallella politiska system som styr samexistenseen mellan ayurveda och västerländsk medicin tycks förhindra integration, medan en ökad professionalisering genom nationella regleringar skapar ökat samarbete och integration. Brist på kunskap om ayurveda bland medicinstudenter förhindrar samarbete. Samtidigt kan inflytandet från västerländsk medicin i den auyurvediska universitetsutbildningen till synes både främja och förhindra samarbete och integration. Genom att höja kompetensen omkring forskningsmetodik och hälsovårdsystem hos ayurvediska läkare kan samarbete främjas. Likaså är forskning utformad med hänsyn till ayurvediska grundprinciper samt närvaro av nyckelpersoner med kompetens inom både ayurveda och västerländsk medicin främjande faktorer för samarbete och integration.<br>Non-communicable diseases [NCDs] are increasing in both developing and developed countries. Western medicine is not able to offer satisfying solutions and treatments for people suffering from NCDs. TM/CAM have shown promise of effectiveness in the prevention and treatment of NCDs and many people now turn to TM/CAM. Hence it is of great interest to investigate the possibilities of increased integration of TM/CAM in national health care systems. This study was carried out in Sri Lanka, with the aim to investigate the main forces promoting and obstructing cooperation and communication between practitioners of Ayurvedic, Western and traditional medicine, in order to see how this affects integration of the medical subsystems. The focus of this qualitative study was the “Outcome oriented, evidence informed Ayurvedic Community Health Promotion Program”; a collaboration project aiming to integrate Ayurveda and Western medicine in primary health care. Semi-structured interviews, participatory observation and document analysis were carried out during three months in Sri Lanka and the results were analysed using Paul Unschuld’s theory on structured competition, cooperation or integration. The results indicate that the overall coexistence of Ayurveda and Western medicine in Sri Lanka is structured competition, while the collaboration project is aiming for structured cooperation. The results further show that the Sri Lankan parallel political approach to integration can be argued to obstruct integration, while the regulation of Ayurvedic practitioners increases cooperation through professionalization. Education is a main influencing factor for cooperation; lack of CAM-knowledge in medical students obstructs cooperation while westernization of Ayurvedic doctors both promotes and obstructs cooperation and integration. Capacity building, research based on Ayurvedic fundamentals and keypersons with knowledge of both sectors are of importance for increased cooperation and integration to come about.

<p>The study examines the relationship of these institutions with the University of Botswana within the affiliation system. The issues that were investigated were related to the affiliation system in general, and whether it was beneficial to both the University of Botswana and the affiliated institutions. It was found from the study that the relationship is a symbiotic one. Furthermore, the study looked into the articulation of the programmes of the affiliated institutions with those of the University of Botswana. The issue of the level at which diplomates from the Affiliated Institutions join a degree programme at the University of Botswana was also discussed. The current system is that after three years of doing a diploma at an affiliated institution, the diplomate will join a degree programme at the University of Botswana at year two with a diploma that was awarded by the University of Botswana. As a result the diplomate will spend three more years on the degree programme. Moreover, the issue of semesterising the affiliated institutions&rsquo<br>programmes, like those of the University of Botswana, was also looked into. Another issue considered was that of monitoring Quality Assurance in the affiliated institutions by the University of Botswana.</p>

There has been an increased focus on ICT-related projects in development cooperation in the last decade based on the assumption that ICTs expands opportunities for economic growth as well as for poverty reduction. This is also the case with the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA). I wanted to better understand the reasoning behind the increased focus on ICT. Specifically I have chosen to look at SIDA’s policies and projects with universities in Tanzania and Nicaragua to understand how different stakeholders perceive that increased ICT use at universities can affect poverty reduction. Some questions guiding my research are: In what ways can these ICT investments meet the development goals of SIDA, and might do these ICT investments theoretically fit into a national system of innovation?

This research project was an in-depth case study, an investigation of a small sample of white South African male academics from the University of Cape Town who were part of the USHEPiA (University Science, Humanities, and Engineering Partnerships in Africa) initiative. The project investigated these University of Cape Town academics experiences and perceptions of another African country and university, and considered the effect that this might have had on the academic's own life.

Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento CientÃfico e TecnolÃgico<br>This research seeks to portray and analyze the process of internationalization and the international cooperation of higher education in Brazil, since 2010 mainly, when it is inaugurated the Federal University of Latin American Integration (UNILA) in the city Foz do IguaÃu-PR, with regional integration proposal, through the teaching of Latin American countries and the Caribbean, and also that year it was founded the University of International Integration of African Brazilian Lusophone (UNILAB) having an integrative proposal between the nations that make up the Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLC), comprising Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea Bissau, Mozambique, Portugal, Sao Tome and Principe, East Timor, Equatorial Guinea and Brazil in the city of RedenÃÃo-CE. With these universities Brazil presents to the world, an internationalization project by higher education, through a cooperation project called South, with a promise to ensure the humanistic, scientific and technological knowledge and the partnership in South Atlantic area, which appears as an area of political interest to Brazil for some time. The main aim of this research is to understand the strategies for internationalization of higher education in a globalized world, and to know how Brazil has been acting in this process. In this study we used as methodological basis, a descriptive exploratory survey on the perception of internationalization of higher education, from international universities in Brazil, and geopolitical and economic interests in Latin America and Africa. We interviewed teachers, administrative staff, students and people from the society, to get a sense of social actors involved and we based on literary scholars authors on the subject. We seek to understand in this study, how educational policies may interfere with power relations and local arrangements, allowing greater regional role in a globalized world. We obtained as results that the challenges are many, internally and externally, in the institution and in the municipalities involved, but it is geographically feasible and relevant for educational policies in the South Atlantic zone.<br>Essa pesquisa procura apresentar e analisar o processo de internacionalizaÃÃo e a cooperaÃÃo internacional do ensino superior no Brasil a partir principalmente do ano de 2010, quando à inaugurada a Universidade Federal da IntegraÃÃo Latino Americana (UNILA) na cidade de Foz do IguaÃu-PR, com a proposta de integraÃÃo regional, atravÃs do ensino dos paÃses da AmÃrica Latina e Caribe e tambÃm nesse ano foi fundada a Universidade da IntegraÃÃo Internacional da Lusofonia Afro-Brasileira (UNILAB) possuindo uma proposta integradora, entre as naÃÃes que compÃem a Comunidade dos PaÃses de LÃngua Portuguesa (CPLP), formada por: Angola, Cabo Verde, GuinÃ-Bissau, MoÃambique, Portugal, SÃo Tomà e PrÃncipe, Timor-Leste, Guinà Equatorial e Brasil na cidade de RedenÃÃo-CE. Com essas universidades o Brasil apresenta ao mundo um projeto de internacionalizaÃÃo, por meio do ensino superior, atravÃs de uma proposta de cooperaÃÃo denominada Sul-Sul, com a promessa de garantir o conhecimento humanÃstico, cientÃfico, tecnolÃgico e a cooperaÃÃo solidÃria na zona do AtlÃntico Sul, que se apresenta como Ãrea de interesse polÃtico para o Brasil hà algum tempo. O principal objetivo dessa pesquisa à compreender as estratÃgias para a internacionalizaÃÃo do ensino superior em um mundo globalizado, e como o Brasil vem agindo nesse processo. Nesse estudo utilizamos como embasamento metodolÃgico um levantamento descritivo e exploratÃrio sobre a percepÃÃo da internacionalizaÃÃo do ensino superior, a partir das universidades de integraÃÃo internacional no Brasil, e os interesses geopolÃticos e econÃmicos na AmÃrica Latina e na Ãfrica. Entrevistamos professores, tÃcnicos administrativos, alunos e pessoas da prÃpria sociedade, para obter uma visÃo dos atores sociais envolvidos e nos embasamos na literatura de autores estudiosos no assunto. Procuramos entender nesse estudo, como polÃticas educacionais podem interferir nas relaÃÃes de poder e nos arranjos locais, possibilitando uma maior atuaÃÃo regional em um mundo globalizado. Obtivemos como resultados que os desafios sÃo muitos, a nÃvel interno e externo, na prÃpria instituiÃÃo e nos municÃpios envolvidos, porÃm à geograficamente viÃvel e de relevÃncia para as polÃticas educacionais na zona do AtlÃntico Sul.

The persistent paucity of endowment monies and other funds and an attempt to minimize operating costs have led to a series of interinstitutional cooperative efforts between many historically black colleges in Texas and other institutions of higher learning. The Texas Association of Developing Colleges (TADC) is a multi-service consortium composed of Huston-Tillotson College, Jarvis Christian College, Paul Quinn College, Texas College, and Wiley College which are privately supported and church-related liberal arts colleges. The primary focus of the TADC is interinstitutional cooperation. Some general and specific problems and weaknesses endemic to many small private colleges, especially to small black private colleges, have been identified through analyses, interpretations, and inferences from a variety of data sources. The potential opportunity and success for strengthening these colleges and for solving some of their problems through self-effort, through additional support from external, nongovernmental sources, and through meaningful forms of interinstitutional cooperation are discussed and appear to be encouraging. Interinstitutional cooperation is already acceptable and functional among these five colleges through their participation in the Texas Association of Developing Colleges, and it is apparent that these five colleges, individually and collectively, have had commendable successes in meeting many of their goals and objectives through such arrangements. Basically, the recommendations made in this study call for significant forms and types of interinstitutional cooperation among these colleges in a formalized manner under the aegis of the Texas Association of Developing Colleges.

Samverkansuppdraget och fritidshemmets kompletterande uppdrag är två skilda uppdrag under en gemensam skoldag, där samarbetet är huvudfokus. Syftet med studien är att utveckla kunskap om samverkansuppdraget och fritidshemmets kompletterande uppdrag ur ett grund- och fritidslärarperspektiv inom skolans organisatoriska verksamhet. För att kunna svara på syftet ställdes frågan: “Vilken förståelse har grund- och fritidslärare av samverkansuppdraget och fritidshemmets kompletterande uppdrag”. Utifrån frågeställningen utformades en enkätundersökning med kvantitativ och kvalitativ metod i bearbetning och analys av svaren. Enkäten publicerades online. Därefter mejlades den till yrkesverksamma fritids- och grundskollärare i två kommuner i Mellansverige. Med hjälp av medlemsregister från den fackliga organisationen Lärarförbundet i respektive kommun blev det totala antalet informanter för studien 34. Utifrån policy enactment teorin och professionsteorin har informanternas förståelse synliggjorts gällande yrkesgruppernas relation och samband, samt deras yrkesprofession i relation till läroplansuppdragen i verksamheterna. Utifrån det kvantitativa resultatet synliggörs att informanterna anser att fritidslärare samverkar i högre grad mellan verksamheterna till skillnad från grundskollärarna. Ytterligare visar resultatet att yrkesgruppernas inblick i respektive verksamhet är mer jämbördig till skillnad från informanternas ställningstaganden om verksamheternas samverkan. I det kvalitativa resultatet lyfts vikten av att delta i varandras verksamheter då det skapar möjligheter för samverkan under den gemensamma skoldagen. Dessutom visas att informanterna uppfattar varandras verksamheter utifrån de olika praktiska och teoretiska arbetssätt de tillämpar. Slutligen lyfts ett eftersträvansvärt helhetsperspektiv som gynnar elevernas lärande och utveckling utifrån läroplansuppdragen. Slutsatsen visar att yrkesgrupperna inte alltid arbetar utifrån läroplanens mål om samverkansuppdraget och fritidshemmets kompletterande uppdrag, däremot kan det innebära att de har förståelse för vikten av det.

I denna studie undersöktes hur samarbetet mellan speciallärare och ämneslärare kan se ut i matematik- respektive språk-, läs- och skrivutveckling på en högstadieskola med en inkluderande specialundervisning samt hur man bäst kan utnyttja de båda yrkesgruppernas komplementära kompetenser. Som metod för datainsamling gjordes observationer på lektioner där speciallärare och ämneslärare samarbetade. Observationerna följdes av enskilda intervjuer av speciallärare och ämneslärare i matematik och språk samt rektor och samordnande specialpedagog. Avslutningsvis genomfördes en gruppintervju med speciallärare och ämneslärare. Till analys användes Abbotts teori om olika yrkesrollers kamp om vem som ska göra vad på arbetsplatsen samt Laviés teori om lärares olika inställning till samarbete.   Resultatet visade att speciallärare och ämneslärare har olika arbetsuppgifter i klassrummet och i planeringsarbetet. Medan ämnesläraren har rollen som ledare blir specialläraren mer som en assistent. I studien framkom att det viktigaste för att utveckla ett lyckat samarbete mellan speciallärare och ämneslärare är relationen mellan personerna. Förutom relationen är även förmågan till flexibilitet och viljan att ta varandras roller betydelsefulla faktorer. Ett sätt som lyftes fram för att utnyttja speciallärarens kompetens i det inkluderade klassrummet är specialpedagogisk handledning.<br>This study focused on the cooperation between special education teachers and subject teachers in mathematics development and language-, reading- and writing development. The study was carried out at a comprehensive school with an inclusive special education and aimed at investigating how to use the teachers’ complementary competences in the best way. The method used was observations of lessons when special education teachers and subject teachers cooperated. These observations were followed up by individual interviews with special education teachers, subject teachers in mathematics and languages as well as with the headmaster and the coordinating special education teacher. Finally a group interview was carried out with the special education teachers and subject teachers. Abbott’s theory about various professional roles and their struggle about who should do what at the work place was used together with Lavié’s theory about teachers’ attitudes to cooperation.   The result showed that special education teachers and subject teachers have different roles in the classroom and also in the planning of lessons. The subject teacher often takes the role of the leader whereas the special education teacher acts more as an assistant. The study showed that the most important factor in developing a successful cooperation between the special education teacher and the subject teacher is the relationship between the individuals.  Two other important factors are flexibility and the willingness to take each other’s roles when needed. Another way of taking advantage of the competence of the special education teacher is to let him/her coach the subject teachers.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior<br>Este projeto de dissertação se propõe a analisar a cooperação aeroespacial entre o Brasil e a Alemanha de 1969 a 2011 em três recortes temporais: 1969 a 1989, 1990 a 2001 e 2002 a 2011. Seguindo as bases teóricas de classificação da CID (Cooperação Internacional para o Desenvolvimento), e apoiada em pesquisa de campo conduzida em ambos os países, este trabalho apresenta um novo conceito de cooperação que, até onde a pesquisa bibliográfica aqui conduzida avaliou, constitui uma contribuição original deste trabalho: a Cooperação Complementar. A cooperação aeroespacial teuto-brasileira é pouco conhecida e divulgada, embora tenha completado vigorosas quatro décadas de exitosa existência. A conclusão de êxito desta cooperação encontrou lastro em pesquisa de campo conduzida pela autora no Brasil (IAE Instituto de Aeronáutica e Espaço) e na Alemanha (DLR Deutsche Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt), consubstanciada por quatro entrevistas (SILVA, 2011a), (SILVA, 2011c), (SILVA, 2011d) e (SILVA, 2011e) realizadas junto a importantes representantes destes dois centros. Os conhecimentos extraídos por meio destas entrevistas agregaram, no entender desta autora, importantes informações à bibliografia específica e relativamente escassa disponível em ambos os países.O êxito defendido nesta dissertação fundamenta-se não apenas na longevidade advinda dos 40 anos de existência desta Cooperação, na sua capacidade de renovação e na complementaridade atingida, mas sobretudo pela consecução dos diversos objetivos técnico-científicos integrantes do escopo do referido Tratado, muitos dos quais responsáveis por importantes desdobramentos de tecnologias em outras áreas do saber, tais como o projeto DEBRA 25 (SCHUSTER, 2011), de energia eólica, e o projeto VLS (Veículo Lançador de Satélites), que utiliza como seus motores os foguetes desenvolvidos no escopo desta Cooperação.<br>This dissertation project aims to analyze aerospace cooperation between Brazil and Germany during 1969 to 2011 in three periods identified in this study: 1969-1989, 1990-2001 and 2002-2011. Following the theoretical classification of the ICD (International Cooperation for Development) and supported by field research conducted in both countries, this paper presents a new concept of cooperation that, to the extent of the author understanding on the subject, is a original contribution of this work: the Complementary Cooperation.The Teutonic-Brazilian aerospace cooperation is not well known, even after completing vigorous four decades of successful existence. The conclusion that this cooperation is successful is based on field research conducted by the author in Brazil (IAE Institute of Aeronautics and Space) and Germany (DLR Deutsche Zentrum für Luft-und Raumfahrt) embodied by four interviews (SILVA, 2011a), (SILVA, 2011c), (SILVA, 2011d) and (SILVA, 2011e) conducted with key representatives of these two centers. The knowledge obtained on these interviews added, in the opinion of this author, important information to the specific and relatively scarce literature available in both countries.The success defended in this dissertation is based not only on the longevity of 40 years of existence of this cooperation, on its capacity for renewal itself, and on the complementarily achieved, but also for achieving various scientific-technical goals belonging to the scope of that Agreement, many of which are responsible for important technological developments in other areas such as the DEBRA 25 project (SCHUSTER, 2011), that deals with wind power, and the VLS (Satellite Launch Vehicle) project, that uses as motor the rockets developed within this Cooperation.

Dessa forma, as empresas, que atuavam isoladamente, passam a enfrentar desafios em grupos relativos ao lançamento contínuo de produtos e serviços que atendem às exigências do mercado. Face ao cenário exposto, surge um novo modelo de cooperação, conhecido como redes de empresas, que podem ser arranjados interorganizacionais ou intraorganizacionais formados por atores que se relacionam com o intuito de melhorar a obtenção de vantagem competitiva diante da concorrência. As instituições de Ensino Superior (IES), públicas ou privadas, constituem-se como empresas cuja imcubência é preparar a mão de obra visando ao desenvolvimento do país. Por esta razão, o conceito de redes de empresas aplicado às IES é relevante nos âmbitos sociais e econômicos. O presente estudo propõe a aplicação de uma abordagem que permita avaliar a sustentabilidade das operações de uma IES, mediante a análise de critérios de desempenho referentes às dimensões sobre as quais se assenta a realidade operacional da instituição. Para alcançar os resultados almejados realizou-se um estudo de caso na Faculdade de Tecnologia de Garça, estado de São Paulo, por ser uma instituição pública que oferece ensino tecnológico. Ao definir o recorte a ser estudado, procedeu-se ao levantamento das principais atividades desenvolvidas pelos atores entrevistados, ao mapeamento do recorte dfa rede intraorganizacional, à avaliação da intensidade dos relacionamentos entre os atores e à análise das principais atividades por eles desenvolvidas com os critérios de desempenho estabelecidos pela instituição.

In this way, companiese which operated separately began to face challenges in groups for the launching continuously of products and services that meet market requirements. In this scenario, it comes out a new cooperation model, known as corporate networks, that is, inter-organizational or intra-organizational arrangements that are formed by actors whose relationship aims at improving the achievement of competitive advantage before the competition. Higher education institutions (HEI), public ot private, establish themselves as entreprises whose task is to prepare a manpower for the development of the country. For this reason, the concept of corporate networks applied to HEI is relevant in social and economic spheres. The present study proposes the application of an approach that allows the assessment of the sustainability or the operation of an HEI, through the analysis of performance criteria concerning the dimensions upon with the operational reality of the institution rests. To achieve the desired results a case study was carried out at the Faculdade de Tecnologia de Garça, São Paulo State, for being a public institution that offers technological education. To set the bounds of the study, the main activities developed by the interviewed actors were raised, as well as the mapping of the clipping of the intra-organizational network, the assessment of the intensity of the actors' relatinships, and the analysis of the main activities undertaken by them according to the performance criteria established by the institution. The study presented evidences that the operations carried out by actors are linked to the performance criteria established by the Unit in order to reach...

No. of bitstreams: 1 arquivototal.pdf: 1464251 bytes, checksum: aeda407cf135754dbd17a0459faa59f9 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-02-13<br>This research aims to study the results of the cooperation between UFCG and state and private companies in the area of Computer Science, through the evaluation of signed contracts and agreements. The study seeks to identify the evolution of partnerships established in terms of contract specificities, resource evolution, as well as teachers' views on the effectiveness of contracts. The cooperation between university-business can thus be understood as a process of exchange involving transfer, sharing and / or transformation of knowledge, through the development of products and the provision of services. The process of cooperation between university and company promotes the relationship of several agents, aiming to share knowledge and, consequently, to develop necessary relations within the reach of the previously established motivations. This dissertation characterizes itself in the objectives established as an exploratory and descriptive research. We adopted as methodological procedure the case study, using quantitative and qualitative methods that involve both methods of documentary appreciation and the application of a questionnaire as a means for data collection. The analysis of these procedures showed that the cooperation between the university and the companies mediated by the foundations has benefited a reduced number of courses with a great variation of time to finalize the researches and evidenced the importance of fiscal incentives to stimulate the approximation between universities and the productive sector. The cooperation occurs primarily with private companies which have a large fluctuation in the participation of members of the academic community and the number of intermediations signed per year. Teachers have pointed out that academic projects in cooperation with firms do not only provide additional resources, but also a number of beneficial consequences that favor both the academic community and business. With this, it is concluded that the university as one of the participants of the subsystems of the national innovation system can assist in economic performance.<br>A presente pesquisa tem por objetivo estudar os resultados percebidos da cooperação entre UFCG e empresas estatais e privadas na área de Ciência da Computação, através da avaliação dos contratos e convênios firmados. O estudo procura identificar a evolução das parcerias firmadas em termos de especificidades dos contratos, evolução dos recursos, bem como a visão dos docentes sobre a efetivação dos contratos. A cooperação entre universidade-empresa pode ser entendida, assim, como um processo de intercâmbio que envolve a transferência, compartilhamento e/ou transformação do conhecimento, por meio do desenvolvimento de produtos e prestação de serviços. O processo de cooperação entre universidade e empresa promove a relação de diversos agentes, com objetivo de compartilhar conhecimento e, consequentemente, desenvolver relações necessárias ao alcance das motivações previamente estabelecidas. Esta dissertação caracteriza-se quanto aos objetivos estabelecidos como uma pesquisa exploratória e descritiva. Adotou como procedimento metodológico o estudo de caso, utilizando métodos quantitativos e qualitativos que envolvem tanto métodos de apreciação documental quanto a aplicação de um questionário como meios para coleta de dados. A análise destes procedimentos demonstrou que as cooperações U-E intermediadas pelas fundações beneficiam um reduzido número de cursos com uma grande variação de tempo para finalizar as pesquisas e evidenciou a importância dos incentivos fiscais\legais para fomentar a aproximação entre universidades e o mundo empresarial. As cooperações ocorrem prioritariamente com empresas privadas com uma grande oscilação na participação dos membros da comunidade acadêmica e do número de intermediações firmadas por ano. Os docentes indicaram que os projetos acadêmicos em cooperações com firmas não proporcionam, apenas, o acréscimo de recursos, mas também uma série de consequências benéficas que favorece tanto a comunidade acadêmica como as empresas. Com isso, conclui-se que a universidade como um dos participantes dos subsistemas do sistema nacional de inovação pode auxiliar no desempenho econômico.

Para sua estruturação, elaboraram-se três objetivos específicos, sendo o primeiro a construção de um quadro conceitual dos processos de internacionalização da educação e sua capilarização nas instituições de ensino superior, principalmente do Brasil; o segundo a análise das políticas e planos estratégicos institucionais visando ao processo de internacionalização da UFSC, e o terceiro o estudo do processo interno de construção e condução dessas políticas na gestão 2008/2011, verificando a influência nele exercida pelos professores, pesquisadores e grupo de pesquisa, bem como a existência de estruturas de gestão da cooperação acadêmica internacional e sua posição no organograma institucional. Em resposta aos objetivos, disponibilizou-se uma revisão da literatura nacional e internacional sobre globalização, internacionalização da educação superior e internacionalização de universidades, com a análise sobre de que forma e sob quais contextos esses processos se constituíram e de que maneira afetaram o desenvolvimento e a estruturação das políticas acadêmicas nacionais e institucionais no Brasil. Apresentou-se ainda uma síntese das concepções de alguns dos principais autores sobre as questões teóricas atinentes ao processo de internacionalização da educação superior e como ela se dá nos níveis nacional e institucional, apontando suas razões e motivações fundamentais, que podem ser econômicas, políticas, acadêmicas, culturais e sociais e os valores nelas implícitos. Assim, o estudo procura enfatizar o tema internacionalização da educação superior, buscando contextualizá-lo nos amplos processos de globalização que envolvem o mundo contemporâneo e compreender algumas das suas principais variáveis. Dentre essas, o papel exercido pelas organizações internacionais na formulação das agendas e das políticas nacionais para o campo, a mobilidade acadêmica internacional, o advento dos rankings acadêmicos internacionais, que pautados pela realidade dos países do Norte e por uma produção acadêmica basicamente publicada em língua inglesa, tentam homogeneizar aquilo que não é homogêneo, ou seja, os distintos sistemas nacionais de educação superior e ainda a fuga de cérebros, fenômeno controverso, tradicionalmente apontado como sua externalidade perversa, pela discussão que provoca frente às reais possibilidades de perda de capital humano qualificado com a circulação acadêmica internacional, um dos frutos do processo estudado. Ao referir-se à cooperação internacional, utilizou-se o conceito de cooperação acadêmica internacional, ou seja, aquela realizada no âmbito e para finalidades acadêmicas, diferentemente da tradicional Cooperação Internacional para o Desenvolvimento, cuja ação não se restringe ao âmbito acadêmico. Concluiu-se o estudo com uma síntese das razões e motivações da UFSC para sua internacionalização acadêmica e das suas principais políticas, estratégias e programas desenvolvidos com este fim. This thesis proposes to do a case study of the contexts and processes of defining and implementing institutional strategies for internationalization of the Federal University of Santa Catarina. For its structure we prepared three specific objectives, the first being the construction of a conceptual framework of the processes of internationalization of higher education and its capillarization in higher education institutions, mainly in Brazil, the second, the analysis of institutional policies and strategic plans aimed at the internationalization process of UFSC, and the third, to study the internal process of building and driving these policies in the management of 2008/2011, checking the influence exerted on it by teachers, researchers and research groups, as well as the existence of international academic cooperation management structures and its position in the institutional hierarchy. The response to the objectives was provided by a review of national and international literature on globalization, internationalization of higher education and internationalization of universities, with the analysis of how and under what contexts these processes are formed and how they affected the development and structuring of national academic and institutional policies in Brazil. It also presented an overview of the conceptions of some major authors on theoretical questions concerning the process of internationalization of higher education and on how it is achieved at the national and institutional levels, pointing to its basic reasons and motivations, which can be economic, political, academic, cultural and also the social values implicit in them. The study seeks to emphasize the theme of internationalization of higher education, seeking to contextualize it within the broader processes of globalization involving the contemporary world and understand some of their key variables. Among these, the role played by international organizations in the formulation of international policies and agendas for the field, the international academic mobility, the rise of international rankings, which are guided by the reality of the North and for an academic production basically published in English, trying to standardize what is not homogeneous, ie, the different national systems of higher education and lastly the brain drain, traditionally appointed as his perverse externality, which causes the discussion forward the real possibility of loss of skilled human capital with international academic circulation, one of the results of the process studied. Referring to international cooperation, research utilizes the concept of international academic cooperation, ie, that held within and for academic purposes, different from the traditional International Cooperation for Development, whose action is not restricted to academia. The study concluded with a summary of the reasons and motivations of UFSC for its academic internationalization and of its main policies, strategies and programs developed for this purpose. At its end, the study suggests a Capes proposition to the countries of similar status, a joint development of internationalization indicators most appropriate to the countries of South.

[Editor's Letter]: This 14th edition of Study South Africa foregrounds the celebration of 20 years of a democratic South Africa. Patrick Fish was commissioned to write a series of articles reflecting the development of South African Higher Education since 1994 for this edition. Reading through this the reader will hopefully experience a sense of the transformation of the South African Higher Education system. Although we all agree in South Africa that we are not done yet, we also recognise that given the South African realities, the change from a race based and fragmented system of higher education to a single but diverse system is well under way. The South African Universities transformed from mostly mono cultural to multicultural institutions that largely reflects the composition of the South African population. The University campuses also demonstrate the institutional appetite to be international. Not only do they jointly house more than 50,000 international students but are also involved in numerous ways in bringing the benefits of being globally connected to the local communities. We are one of the few higher education systems that largely fund our international activities from institutional budgets. This is one of the main reasons that South African Universities practice a style of internationalisation that is relevant to our institutional needs, as well as the local and national needs. Through our internationalisation endeavours we have connected with the rest of Africa in a very special way. Not only do we educate large numbers of students from other African countries but through the South African Higher Education alumni that now live all over the African continent we have built permanent connections that will enhance and develop long standing relationships. IEASA celebrates with all South Africans 20 years of democracy and realise that it is indeed a privilege to be practitioners in transformed ‘knowledge cities’. We are, however, saddened by the incidents of intolerance and destruction in other parts of the world that make the work of higher education institutions impossible, and can only in solidarity with those scholars at risk celebrate with deep appreciation the efforts and determination of those South Africans that made it possible for us to be Universities in a free and democratic society.

[Editor's Letter]: Study South Africa has been the global mouthpiece of the International Education Association of South Africa (IEASA) and South African Higher Education since the publication of its first edition in 1999. It grew from a publication that served as a guide to South African Higher Education to a comprehensive source of information for the international academic community and others interested in South Africa’s tertiary education sector. This annual publication requires knowledgeable contributors as well as skilful editorial and other technical support. For the past number of years the editorial team was ably supported by Loveness Kaunda from the University of Cape Town (UCT). She provided the publication with her time, energy and knowledge. However, as she retired from her UCT position, she will no longer be available to consult with on a regular basis. This edition of Study South Africa is dedicated to her as a token of gratitude for all her time and passion. Another source of knowledge and inspiration is Patrick Fish - a higher education specialist who does research on topics relevant to the South African Higher Education landscape and provides us with up-to-date information. His writing skills turn the first number of pages of this publication into a real source of information. The knowledge about South African universities will be incomplete without the contributions of the universities themselves. A common trend this year is the focus on excellence of teaching and research as well as the relevance of South African Higher Education to local students functioning in an ever globalising world. It is also evident that most of the South African universities are aware of the need to be globally competitive, not only to attract the best international students, but also to be able to compete in a very competitive global knowledge driven environment. Study South Africa is again proudly presented by IEASA. This edition, focussing on Internationalisation of Higher Education, with a specific focus on South Africa in a changing world, again illustrates the interconnectedness of global higher education. It is envisaged that future editions will explore and document the collaboration between IEASA and similar organisations that is promoting the Internationalisation of Higher Education as well as global trends in international higher education affecting internationalisation of higher education in emerging countries.

[Editor's Letter]: This, the 15th edition of Study South Africa, continues to provide a platform for South African universities to profile themselves. It also provides highlights from the South African Higher Education system for the past year. This edition will focus on research and the internationalisation of research in the South African context. Study South Africa has established itself as the international mouthpiece for South African universities and without missing a beat has been produced by volunteers who, with enthusiasm, have dedicated their time and intellect to promote Higher Education Internationalisation as well as to promote South Africa as a knowledge destination for students, academics and professional staff. It is a special privilege and honour to write the introductory message for this 15th edition of Study South Africa as President of IEASA and Editor of the publication. In an era where global re-organisation is dominating the Higher Education scene and new alliances are formed to emulate the new geopolitical landscape, we need to take note of all the challenges facing Higher Education Internationalisation. A number of trends can be identified as major influences on Higher Education on a global scale. I will focus on some of those trends affecting Higher Education in emerging economies and the developing world. The first of these trends is the focus on regional and south-south cooperation. South African universities indicated their intent to further develop closer relationships with universities in Africa through their participation in the re-thinking of Africa’s future during the African Higher Education Summit on the Revitalisation of Higher Education for Africa’s future, in Dakar, Senegal during March 2015. The vision agreed upon during the summit is to ‘develop a high quality, massive, vibrant, diverse, differentiated, innovative, autonomous and socially responsible Higher Education sector. This sector will be a driving force to achieving the vision outlined in the Agenda 2063 by the African Union with a commitment to a shared strategic framework for the inclusive growth, sustainable development and global strategy to optimise the use of Africa’s resources for the benefit of all Africans’. The role of universities would be to develop closer cooperation as well as to advance research with a focus on innovation and sustainable economic growth that will integrate African economies as equal partners in the world economy. It is clear from the vision that although the emphasis should be on inter-African collaboration, collaboration with institutions outside the African continent should not be excluded to achieve the knowledge creation needed to achieve Agenda 2063. Another Higher Education Internationalisation trend in South Africa is the development of closer cooperation within the BRICS countries. The agreements reached and strategies agreed to during the BRICS Summit in Ufa, and included in the Ufa Declaration of 17 June 2015, open doors to future collaborations between BRICS universities. It is envisaged that in the next year the constituent meeting of the BRICS University Network and the establishment of the BRICS Universities League will provide the necessary framework for future collaboration amongst universities from the BRICS member countries. It is imperative that organisations like IEASA and the Brazilian FAUBAI play a key role in the establishment and function of the above mentioned networks. We can provide the necessary support and leadership to other member countries where Higher Education Internationalisation is still at the early stages of conceptualisation and organisation. It will be important to make effective use of the occasion of the Global Conference on Higher Education Internationalisation, scheduled to take place in South Africa in August 2016, to debate and set the future agenda for the BRICS University Network in relation to the rest of the world. It is also vital that the BRICS universities as well as the universities in Africa integrate fully with the rest of the world instead of developing a separate grouping.

[Message from the Honorable Minister of Education, Prof. Kader Asmal]: Once again I am pleased to provide a message of support for the Guide to South African Universities and Technikons, particularly at a time when we are embarking on a new era with our plans for Higher Education in South Africa. Increasingly we have become aware of the need for higher education graduates who can make a significant contribution to the reconstruction and development of our country and, in this period of globalisation, the rest the world. With the dawn of a new century we need also to ensure that our system of higher education is relevant to the challenges we face in the years ahead. The onset of the 21st century has brought Minister of Education changes in the social, cultural and economic relations spawned by the revolution in information and communications technology. At the centre of these changes is the notion that in the 21st century, knowledge and the processing of information will be the key driving forces for wealth creation and social and economic development. Therefore we are driven by government policy that recognises the importance of human resource development. This involves the mobilisation of human talent and potential through lifelong learning, to contribute to the social, economic, cultural and intellectual life of a rapidly changing society. We need high-level skills training to provide the human resources to strengthen our region's enterprises, services and infrastructure. This requires the development of professionals and knowledge workers with globally equivalent skills, but who are socially responsible and conscious of their role in contributing to development efforts and social transformation. Finally we need to ensure the production, acquisition and application of new knowledge. This is essential for growth and competitiveness, and in turn is dependent on continuous technological improvement and innovation driven by a well-organised, vibrant research and development system which integrates the research and training capacity of higher education with the needs of industry and social reconstruction. Graduates from our higher education institutions have consistently shown that the quality of the education they receive is of a world class standard. Indeed, many developed countries try to lure our graduates away to work in their countries. Increasingly international students have recognised the value of our education system and are choosing to study in South Africa. We welcome them not only to our educational institutions but also to our beautiful country and the vibrant society that South Africa is today.

[Message from the Honorable Minister of Education, Prof. Kader Asmal]: It gives me pleasure to be able to once again give message of support for the Guide to South African Universities and Technikons. Government policy has placed higher education at the centre of the Human Resource Development Strategy. In the last edition I indicated the need to ensure that our system of higher education is relevant, accessible, efficient and provides the basis for lifelong learning. To this end we are embarking on a major transformation and reconstruction process to improve the capacity of our higher education institutions to respond nor only to national demands but also to the demands placed upon us by a globalised economy. TI1e envisaged higher education landscape should be better aligned to respond to the challenges of the constantly changing demands. The realisation of the African Union and the proposals contained in the New Programme for Africa Development calls for greater understanding of the international imperatives that will inform greater economic, political and social cooperation. All of this requires that higher education institutions should step up the pace in forging academic cooperation and linkages as well as providing an enabling environment for international students to study in South Africa. It also requires higher education institutions to ensure that the quality of the programmes offered matches or exceeds international benchmarks so that they become first choice institutions for students wanting an international experience. The initiative that the International Education Association of South Africa (IEASA) has undertaken together with the South African Universities Vice-Chancellors Association and the Committee of Technikon Principals is beginning to show some results. There has been an increase in the number of international students who seek study opportunities in our institutions. This can only strengthen our system as we gain more insight into international perspectives through these students. I wish all those involved in this endeavour success.

[Message from the President of IEASA, Dr Roshen Kishun]: We salute the thousands of South Africans From diverse racial backgrounds who 50 years ago put forward their vision, encapsulated in the Freedom Charter, to keep doors of education open. As we celebrate the 50th anniversary of this historic event we are aware of the Foundations laid then to allow us to reconnect to the world. In choosing “lessons in diversity' as the theme For the Sth edition of Study South Africa we support the need For South African higher education to keep its doors open in meeting the development challenges of Africa. The year 2005 has been described as critical For Africa because of a number of Factors that have come together. These include the New Partnership For Africa’s Development which spells out action plans to tackle some of the more intractable problems that Africa Faces, the Formation of the African Union with clear guidelines For governance and peace, and the Pan-African Parliament which promotes the concept of working together to solve the continent's problems. The launch of the Southern African Regional Universities Association in early 2005 by 45 of the region’s vice-chancellors recognised that the excellence and sustainability of university education, research and development will be a leading contributor to Future growth and poverty alleviation. Despite the tides of limited resources, external demands and internal policy challenges, the vice-chancellors were unequivocally committed to advancing the development agenda of higher education on the African continent. Critically, in recent years there has been acknowledgement of the ability of higher education to bring about economic and democratic reforms, as evidenced by the commitment and concerted efforts made by Foundations and funding agencies to support the improvement of higher education institutions in Africa. Most important from our perspective is the support for the ’’renewal’’ of higher education institutions as they are considered to be key vehicles For development on the continent. The Commission For Africa report, published in March 2005, endorses the Association of African Universities, Association of Commonwealth Universities and Higher Education South Africa’s joint 10-year partnership programme, Renewing the African University, The partnership programme calls, among other things, For constructive engagement between states and higher education institutions, increasing North-South and South-South collaboration, internationalisation of the curriculum and partnerships between universities and the corporate sector. The Commission makes clear its conviction that higher education's contribution to building professional skills and knowledge is key to achieving Fundamental development changes. The need for centres of excellence in science, technology and engineering is highlighted as key to Future development and growth. Higher education institutions need to be the “breeding ground For the skilled individuals whom the continent needs". The report stresses the need For urgent attention to be given to the management of natural resources, of Forests and water, improving sanitation and strengthening health systems to deal with pandemics such as malaria, tuberculosis and HIV-Aids. Other important developments needed are building the human and institutional capacity for good governance and strengthening leadership in public life, civil society and business. In Focusing on the theme “lessons in diversity’ the Guide captures the richness of the various “diversities ' in the South African higher education landscape. It describes the radical transformation of higher education in South Africa over more than a decade. It identifies South Africa's research system as being “by Far the biggest in Africa” and demonstrates the important role South African higher education can play in meeting the challenges of Africa. I hope that the information provided will allow those interested in South African education to make informed choices.

[Editor's Letter]: Welcome to the seventeenth Study SA, compiled as IEASA celebrates its twentieth anniversary. Study SA is the South African publication that provides an overview of South African Higher Education issues and developments. This edition has a special Commemorative section, celebrating 20 years of IEASA, as well as the standard sections found in every issue of Study SA, consisting of Higher Education in Context, Features and Medical Aid and the updated profiles of the 26 public Higher Education Institutions. Universities South Africa, USAF, kindly provided partial funding for this edition of Study SA and we are delighted to include a message from the current CEO Dr Ahmed Bawa, a consistent supporter of internationalisation in Higher Education. We also have a message from the former Minister of Higher Education, Dr Blade Nzimande (2009-2017). A voluntary organisation supported by a small secretariat, IEASA is testament to a group of people who saw the need for an organisation to support the South African Higher Education’s re-entry and engagement with the rest of the world, once it became a democracy in 1994. This edition includes articles by two of the founding members: lEASA’s first President, Dr Roshun Kishun and its first Treasurer, Dr Derek Swemmer. Our sincere thanks to all the committed individuals in South African Higher education, who have kept IEASA going from strength to strength. Thilor Manikam, lEASA’s longest serving staffing member and the Office Manager has provided continuity and institutional memory over the best part of the twenty years. Guided by lEASA’s Constitution, Thilor has ensured that regardless of the change in the Management Council over the years, IEASA operations are impeccably managed and that IEASA has received an unqualified audit every year since its inception. In its history, IEASA has had seven Presidents: Dr Roshun Kishan, Ms Fazela Hanif, Mr David Ferrai, Ms Merle Hodges, Mr Lavern Samuels, Dr Nico Jooste and the current President Leolyn Jackson, whose term will run until the end of 2018, when the current President Elect, Ms Orla Quinlan will serve a two-year term from 2019-2020. IEASA has facilitated the development of a close knit community of practice in South Africa with members drawing on each other’s strengths and skills; inviting each other to our respective institutions to share knowledge, skills and ideas on appropriate internationalisation, within the South African context. More than that, we have become friends and have developed a collective responsibility to present and represent South African Higher Education to the rest of the world. Sadly, we lost three of our very dear colleagues and friends in recent years: Mr Len Mkhize, Mr Jimmy Ellis and Professor Stan Ridge. We pay tribute to the energy and joy they brought to IEASA in all their endeavours. They are missed. Others who have supported IEASA over the years include PWC, who have provided free audit services up to 2017, as a contribution to South Africa’s Higher Education; ABSA and the Medical Aid companies, who have provided sponsorship to IEASA. Finally, its volunteer Management Council, members of which serve two-year terms, with the possibility of being re-elected, and each one of our members who participate in and support IEASA activities and events. IEASA continued its work with the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) to clarify the visa application procedures, communicate the processes and to request interventions when visa processing is unduly delayed or if there are extenuating circumstances, which require intervention. IEASA and DHA have held one joint workshop with universities in 2016; a second was held following the IEASA 20th conference in August 2017 and an initial meeting called by USAF was held with DHA, HR Directors from universities and IEASA in late 2017. Visa Facilitation Services (VFS) have introduced a new mobile biometric service for campuses who do not have a VFS office in their locality. IEASA will continue to work on behalf of the international students and the rest of the international Higher Education community to improve the clarity of immigration requirements and to help overcome any difficulties faced. An article providing an update on progress is included in this edition. The international landscape has shifted enormously in recent years, where previously unquestioned democratic principles are being contested in some of the world’s most established democracies. lEASA’s 20th Anniversary Conference theme was “Advancing internationalisation: overcoming hostilities and building communities”. While in reflective and celebratory mode about the achievements of the last twenty years during the the Colloquium, the conference attendees switched mode and engaged in robust debates, about the current challenges in Higher Education including economic and financial challenges, xenophobia, the lack of equity in existing partnerships, institutional strategies, opportunities for engaging with partners interested in South African Higher Education. IEASA is cognisant of its responsibility to build capacity for the upcoming professionals in the sector and workshops on themes pertinent to the professionals in International Offices included immigration, partnerships and developing internationalisation strategy.

[Message from the President of IEASA, Dr Roshen Kishun]: The fourth edition of Study South Africa; Guide to South African Tertiary Education coincides with a momentous event in the history of South Africa. It is the 10th anniversary of the democracy after the 1994 elections that ended apartheid. It is time to celebrate the achievements, the development strides, and the reintegration of South Africa into the world community. The International Education Association of South Africa (IEASA) welcomes the new Minister of Education, Ms Naledi Pandor, elected to the Cabinet after the April 2004 elections. We wish her well in her new and demanding portfolio. We are confident that the Minister will support the tertiary education sector to develop linkages between international education, skilled migration and the transition to knowledge economies. While we believe that a free and democratic country may be the most powerful attraction for international students wishing to study in South Africa there are other reasons. South Africa is rated as a technological powerhouse on the African continent. Comparatively South Africa’s educational infrastructure can be compared with the best in the world. Its research sector is by far the strongest in Africa. The country has adopted English as one of its official languages and it is the main medium of instruction in the tertiary education sector. A significant factor which makes South African qualifications attractive is the relatively lower cost of study. Study in South Africa offers the best of both worlds to international students, combining the experience of living in Africa with the opportunity to obtain quality education at a fraction of the cost. In the ten years since 1994, the opening-up of the tertiary education sector in South Africa is evidenced by the dramatic increase of international students studying in the South African public education sector from about 13 000 to more than 47 000 in 2002. While the headcount numbers include distance education students, it is possible that South Africa is currently the leading host country for international students in Africa. An IDP report predicts that by 2025 almost eight million students will be educated trans-nationally. The growth in international student numbers presents South Africa with some exciting challenges in the global context. South Africa is expected to become one of the top nations in the world hosting international students in the next ten yean. Study South Africa is published in the middle of one of the most intense periods of change when the South African education system is being restructured to eliminate duplications created under the apartheid system. The number of public institutions is being reduced from 36 to 23 through mergers and incorporations. The binary divide that existed in the public higher education system pre- 2002, where there were 21 universities and 15 technikons is blurred by the creation of the universities of technology. In spite of the massive transformation, the South African higher education sector has much to offer in the form of quality education, advanced research facilities and internationally recognized qualifications. The information provided in this Guide introduces the individual institutions, their academic offerings, support services provided and other relevant details needed to make a choice of study destination Study South Africa is also a useful tool in the development of a strategy to market South African higher education into the competitive world of international education. The decision by IEASA to develop a marketing strategy is not only a reaction to global higher education pressures, but is also an acknowledgement of South Africa’s return to the global higher education community and in identified geographical areas. IEASA realised that past isolation can only be overturned by conscious new strategies. This 'marketing initiative’ meant that the presence of South Africa was highly visible at some of the leading forums dealing with international education in the world. Study South Africa is undertaken by IEASA in association with the South African Vice-Chancellors Association (SAUVCA) and the Committee of Technikon Principals (CTP). These organizations themselves are set to merge in the near future. We appreciate the support of the Council on Higher Education (CHE), the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA), Unitech (Higher Education professional body for marketing, communication and development), and Professor T Mthembu. We are most grarefril to Karen MacGregor, our specialist writer, who compiled the excellent articles in this publication on achievements during the ten years of transformation. I wish to take this opportunity of thanking all those who made contributions for their support and all the tertiary education institutions in the public education sector for their participation. We are grateful to the Department of Foreign Affairs for the distribution of the Guide abroad and to members of the IEASA publications committee for their input. We appreciate the support of Artworks Publishing for working under pressure to meet publications deadline. Special thanks are due to Zandile Wanda for the work in coordinating the response from the tertiary education sector and to Alexandra van Essche for compiling and producing the Guide. Without their efforts it would not have been possible to publish the Guide.

[Message from the Honorable Minister of Education, Prof. Kader Asmal]: I am pleased to provide a message for this important Guide to South African Universities and Technikons so soon after my appointment as Minister of Education. Each country depends on the higher education system to meet high human resource needs and to be the engine for the creation of new knowledge and innovation, and critical discourse. Our system offers students a wide choice of career options in a variety of differing environments of a world-class standard. Our universities and technikons play a vital role in preparing students, by equipping them with the necessary knowledge and skills, to take up their rightful place in society and to contribute to the socio-economic development of our country and the many other countries from which students come to study in South Africa. This also affords them the opportunity of making a substantial contribution to the development of human resources in their specialised fields. Like schools, our universities, technikons and other third level institutions must become vibrant centres of community and cultural life. We are looking at the ways in which universities can contribute to the responsibility of citizenship - within an atmosphere of voluntary help. This may be in the form of community service, which many institutions are already involved in, or, for instance, in the form of assisting with a national literacy campaign. In addition they must provide a safe and secure environment conducive to promoting their mission of teaching and learning, scholarship and research, and community service. Proper preparation for the challenges of a fast globalising world is essential if our students are to contribute to the development of the societies and the countries in which they live. Therefore I am committed to building a responsive higher education system of high quality. Such a system should demonstrate its readiness to meet the challenges of the 20st Century.

[Preface - Nico Jooste]: For more than ten years, we have been involved in implementing internationalisation of South African Higher Education. The we I am referring too, are those who are both visionaries and passionately dedicated to the process of internationalisation. A small group of South African Higher Education administrators, academics and senior managers involved themselves in the process of internationalisation of their institutions, and collectively the South African system. This process of internationalisation started as an uncoordinated response to the demands of a South African higher education system that was determined to break with the past, and re-connect with global higher education, it was left to a few dedicated visionaries to create the support structure that would not only assist the higher education institutions, but also the system. The other bodies that were supposed to pay attention to this very important aspect of Higher Education in the 21st century were too busy with other, equally important, matters. It became clear that the priorities of organisations like SAUVCA were not internationalisation, and IEASA was established as the vehicle to promote it. This story of IEASA needed to be told. This book is not aimed at IEASA members only, but also at the broader higher education public. This is the story of an organisation that touched all parts of South African Higher Education society as well as the broader society. It is partly the ‘corporate memory’ of Internationalisation, as well as a reflection on achievements. Ten years looked like a short period to reflect on an organisations history, I am however of the opinion that in a society that is changing so rapidly, we need to reflect more frequently on the past so that we can plan a better future. For any historian operating in the modem era of electronic communication, access to sources of information has become a major challenge. IEASA, Thilor Manikam in particular, needs to be commended for the accurate record keeping of events over the past ten years. Kirstin Nussgruber very diligently captured the efforts of the forces driving the establishment of IEASA for the first two years. This book was mainly based on evidence gathered from minutes, reports and letters that are in the possession of the IEASA Office. I also had the privilege, and advantage, to be a member of the Executive Committee for the past five years. This book cannot be the last word on IEASA, as it is only the view of a member. The bias is thus toward IEASA and focusses mainly on its achievements. Chapter 3 focusses mainly on the achievements of a voluntary organisation. The efforts over the ten years of three persons namely. Roshen Kishun as President, Derek Swemmer as Treasurer, and Thilor Manikam as the Administrator stood out, and was the stabilising factor during the foundation years. The role of Roshen Kishun in the publication of Study South African cannot be underestimated. Without his vision, drive and effort, this publication would not be preparing for the launch of the seventh edition. It is a unique source of information about South African Higher Education. Very few other systems, if any. produce such a publication. Although the author was requested by the IEASA Executive Committee to write this book, the views expressed in this publication is not the views of the Executive Committee, but that of the author.

Malaysia is a transition economic country that aims to be a developed country by 2020. In realising this mission (Vision 2020), the cluster concept has been an interest and adopted by the central authorities. There are few years ahead to reach the targeted year and it interest of this study to investigate the relevant development on its own engineered cluster of the Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) that was put forward on the success of Silicon Valley in the US. This thesis focuses on the development of the MSC cluster in the Malaysia context. It examines and measures the state of the cluster, the role played by its core actors (from Triple Helix perspective) and their relationship in the MSC. The role of collaboration has been used to measure the relationship among actors with the key determinants of cluster formation. A mixed data collection method was used to answer the research question and objectives involved. A conceptual model for analysing the MSC cluster is proposed, bringing together insights from the literature on clusters, role of actors, collaborative relationship and the complex systems of innovation approach. This conceptual model uncover the weaknesses of social dimension (social infrastructure) in Porter’s diamond model and the general approach of Triple Helix model in the cluster development. The cluster lifecycle model is used to add the depth to the analysis on the condition of cluster development.

This thesis examines the history of Commonwealth Government higher education policy in Australia between 1958 and 1997 and its impact on the development of two groups of academic librarians: the Association of Librarians in Colleges in Advanced Education (ALCAE) and the Committee of Australian University Librarians (CAUL). Although university librarians had met occasionally since the late 1920s, it was only in 1965 that a more formal organisation, known as CAUL, was established to facilitate the exchange of ideas and information. ALCAE was set up in 1969 and played an important role helping develop a special concept of library service peculiar to the newly formed College of Advanced Education (CAE) sector. As well as examining the impact of Commonwealth Government higher education policy on ALCAE and CAUL, the thesis also explores the influence of other factors on these two groups, including the range of personalities that comprised them, and their relationship with their parent institutions and with other professional groups and organisations. The study focuses on how higher education policy and these other external and internal factors shaped the functions, aspirations, and internal dynamics of these two groups and how this resulted in each group evolving differently. The author argues that, because of the greater attention given to the special educational role of libraries in the CAE curriculum, the group of college librarians had the opportunity to participate in, and have some influence on, Commonwealth Government statutory bodies responsible for the coordination of policy and the distribution of funding for the CAE sector. The link between ALCAE and formal policy-making processes resulted in a more dynamic group than CAUL, with the university librarians being discouraged by their Vice-Chancellors from having contact with university funding bodies because of the desire of the universities to maintain a greater level of control over their affairs and resist interference from government. The circumstances of each group underwent a reversal over time as ALCAE's effectiveness began to diminish as a result of changes to the CAE sector and as member interest was transferred to other groups and organisations. Conversely, CAUL gradually became a more active group during the 1980s and early 1990s as a result of changes to higher education, the efforts of some university librarians, and changes in membership. This study is based principally on primary source material, with the story of ALCAE and CAUL being told through the use of a combination of original documentation (including minutes of meetings and correspondence) and interviews with members of each group and other key figures.

碩士<br>國立交通大學<br>管理學院碩士在職專班科技法律組<br>97<br>Most of the discussions about university-industry cooperation are related to technology transfer or incubator, and the discussions related to these two mechanisms are rare in Taiwan. Taiwan government conducted the affairs of university-industry cooperation in ten years ago, and separated these affairs into several parts for different departments to be in charge. The problems of inefficiency arise from the separation and experts from government and academy point out the necessary of integration. Although we know the necessary of integration, but there are not enough discussions of how to integrate. Initially, this thesis is going to clarify the definition and the scale of “university-industry cooperation” in Taiwan. Then the discussions will focus on the effect of integration, the factors of successful integration, service items, the situation of overlapping and complementarities. This thesis concludes the opinions from experts as below. First, it is necessary to integrate. Second, the key factors of successful integration are the supports of policies from universities and government, the definitude of duty, and the importance of personnel, especially the director. Neither TTO nor incubator equips with professional services. TTO is lack of the capability of evaluation and active promotion and incubator is lack of the capability of commercialization supporting. The direction of integration should be the sharing of R&D information, the support of professional consultant, the improvement of capability of evaluation and commercialization, and the cooperation of training course.

碩士<br>國立臺北科技大學<br>技術及職業教育研究所<br>95<br>The study was to analyze technology valuation factors of industrial-academic cooperation in university of technology, and to be the reference resources for the technology valuing. The method used in study was literature review, semi-structured interview, and questionnaire survey to attain the purpose of the study. First, to build the levels for technology valuation factors of industrial-academic cooperation in university of technology by literature review. Second, in order to know the importance of the levels for valuation factors and significance of index, the researcher interviewed with 10 experts who were experienced in the field. Finally, the persons who were dedicated to industrial-academic cooperation in 35 universities of technology were the population, and the samples were taken by purposive sampling to know the opinions about the importance of the levels for these technology valuation factors. After data collecting and analyzing, the major findings of the study are as follows: 1.There were 30 technology valuation factors in 4 aspects for the industrial-academic cooperation in university of technology. 2.The factors result in weakness of technology royalty negotiation could summarize to 10 items. 3.The opinions of importance which the persons who have been dedicated to industry-university cooperative in university of technology unit hold are much more than intermediate level. 4.The opinions of importance which the persons who have been dedicated to industry-university cooperative in university of technology unit hold are difference in the backgrounds which are tenure and industrial experience.

碩士<br>國立臺北科技大學<br>技術及職業教育研究所<br>98<br>The Ministry of Education initiated the Industrial-Academic Cooperation Plan in 2006, to cultivate basic technical personal and to industry continuous development. It has adjusted the number of participation schools annually. However, there hasn’t been many studies concerning the learning satisfaction of students who participated in the plan. This study mainly focuses on analyzing the students’ learning satisfaction in technological institutions and universities after participating the Plan. The purpose of this study is to provide useful information to those schools and education authority. This study employs questionnaire methodology and uses “The Questionnaire of the Students’ Learning Satisfaction of Industrial-Academic Cooperation Plan in Technological Institutions and Universities”. The samples were drawn from the students studying in technological institutions and universities in 2008 in Taiwan. The sample size is 500, and 449 respondents were successfully interview. The response rate was 90%. All the data collected was processed and analyzed with SPSS 12.0. The main findings are as follows: 1.Except “rights and welfare” the students’ learning satisfaction of industrial-academic cooperation plan in technological institutions and universities were above mid-level in all items, while “interpersonal relationship” was the highest one. 2."The school teacher&apos;&apos;s professional knowledge", "how to interact with others to communicate", and "is together well with the workplace colleagues" are the three items with highest level of satisfaction. "Practical training in the workplace, need to pay full tuition", "the workplace provides overtime pay, extra allowances, scholarships, etc.", and "a salary, year-end bonuses in the workplace" are the three items with the lowest level of satisfaction 3.Except for “gender”, all variables on this study are statistically significant.

Lewis (2003) provides a conceptual framework to draw a whole picture of TMS, comprising three parts: (1) specialized and differentiated team knowledge (specialization), (2) trust level between members and their reliance on each others’ knowledge (credibility), and (3) smooth, organized, and coordinated task processes (coordination) . However, past studies focused on the group level inside the organization, little work has been done on the organization level; this mechanism is applied to inter-organizational situation in this current study. We attempt to explore if TMS may exert an influence on the performance of inter-organizational cooperation in regional innovation systems (RIS). Data is collected from the industries in central Taiwan, which is a developing RIS. The main purpose of this paper is to reveal the implicit mechanism of inter-organizational cooperation. The results show that TMS is indeed a catalyst of organizational level collaboration. This research provides a new perspective to evaluate industrial cooperation, and the difference between the effects of these three dimensions is further discussed as well.

碩士<br>淡江大學<br>教育政策與領導研究所碩士班<br>99<br>The purposes of this study are: 1) to understand the current situation of university-industry (U-I) cooperation for private universities in Taiwan; 2) to document the difficulties faced by private universities in U-I cooperation; 3) to explore the strategies adopted by private universities in U-I cooperation; and 4) to provide suggestions to private universities. Research methodology for this study includes document analysis and semi-structured interview. Four private universities are selected to be studied. The conclusions of the study are as follows: I. Regarding the current situation of U-I cooperation of private universities: 1) The location of the universities does not influence U-I cooperation; 2) Classification of U-I cooperation differs among the universities; 3) The proportion of humanities field is low in U-I cooperation; 4) Universities adopt different developmental strategies; 5) Expenditures for U-I cooperation are mostly from outside sources; 6) Expanding the scale of U-I cooperation may solve financial difficulties; 7) Universities have employed professionals as consultants. II. Regarding the difficulties of U-I cooperation faced by private universities: 1)Universities have developed strategies to cope with equipment problems; 2) Transdisciplinary integration needs to be improved; 3) Complicated administrative procedures reduces faculty members’ desire to participate in U-I cooperation; 4) Faculty members’ performance in U-I cooperation is not considered in faculty promotion; 5) Faculty should watch out for infringement of research findings; 6) It is unclear what effects it might bring shall the government levy tax on U-I cooperation. III. Regarding the coping strategies adopted by private universities: 1)Universities have rented space to solve the problem of space deficiency; 2) Universities have carefully selected their cooperation partners, worked with alumni, and signed contracts to reduce the risk of failure; 3) Universities have built platforms to integrate university resources; and 4) Raising the level in charge of U-I cooperation may reduce internal dispute; 5) Faculty members should take on U-I cooperation projects through their universities.

博士<br>國立臺灣師範大學<br>工業教育學系<br>103<br>The purpose of the research was to discuss the mechanism of industry-academy cooperation between technological universities and colleges and cultural creative industries. The research included both qualitative and quantitative methods. First, via literature review, the researcher summarized the interview outlines, then the researcher discussed the related issues with 7 scholars and experts. After interviews, via coding, the “mechanisms of industry-academy cooperation between technological universities and colleges and cultural creative industries” questionnaire was designed and 75 offices of research and development of technological universities and colleges were investigated, and 450 questionnaires were sent, 310 questionnaires were received. The researcher used factor analysis to derive 5 factors, policies &; legislations, funds &; execution, human resources &; technics, intellectual properties, and vision of the future. The researcher found that the opinions of the 75 offices of research and development of technological universities and colleges on the cooperation mechanisms, from top scores to low ones, are human resources &; technics, vision of the future, intellectual properties, policies &; legislations, and funds &; execution. The recognition of different samples about mechanism of industry-academy cooperation between technological universities and colleges and cultural creative industries were non-significant in gender, seniority, school area, and school type. Furthermore, the whole questionnaire was high positive correlated with 5 factors. Based on the findings above, guidance and implications to the educational authorities, technological universities and colleges, cultural creative industries and further research about mechanisms of Industry-academy cooperation were proposed.

Die unternehmensbezogenen Prozesse der Individualisierung, des Sozialstrukturwandels, der Technologieentwicklung und der Internationalisierung stehen in direktem Zusammenhang mit gesamtgesellschaftlichen Veränderungen [VGL. TÜRK, K. / LEMKE, T. / BRUCH, M. 2006 UND VGL. BOLINSKI, S. 2000]. Struktureller Wandel in der Gesellschaft führt aber zwangsläufig zu Strukturproblemen im Bildungsbereich und in der Wirtschaft. Bildungsprozesse charakterisieren somit auch die Unternehmensorganisationen als Aktionszentren der modernen Gesellschaft. Diese gegenseitige Einflussnahme von Bildung und Wirtschaft steht für eine kommunikationsbasierende Symbiose, welche auch die gesellschaftliche und ökonomische Entwicklung bis hin zur heutigen Wissensgesellschaft kennzeichnet und die folglich durch ein hohes Maß an Innovation, Forschung und Entwicklung geprägt ist. Arbeitskräfte der Zukunft benötigen theoretisches Wissen gekoppelt mit praktischem Können. Eine persönlichkeitsbildende Entwicklung erfordert somit eine Kompetenzorientiertheit für selbstständiges Handeln. Diese Fähigkeiten vermittelt lernende Tätigkeit in kleinen und mittleren Unternehmen (KMU) z.B. durch duale oder kooperative Aus- und Weiterbildungskonzepte. KMU sind die in der Europäischen Union wirtschaftlich und sozial vorherrschende Unternehmensform. Sie stellen nahezu 99% aller Betriebe und bieten Beschäftigung für fast 70 Millionen Menschen. Kleine und mittleren Unternehmen erwirtschaften in Deutschland ca. 50 Prozent der steuerpflichtigen Umsätze, beschäftigen ca. 66 Prozent der Arbeitnehmer und bilden ca. 85 Prozent der Lehrlinge aus [VGL. WIPPLER, A. 2013]. Die vorliegende Arbeit liefert für die Beschreibung komplexer Phänomene einer Unternehmenssoziologie einen exemplarischen Beitrag, der normativ und explizit für das Fallbeispiel kleiner und mittlerer Unternehmen (KMU) das Bedeutungspotenzial dieses Betriebstyps als Träger wissensbasierter Handlungskapazität in der marktwirtschaftlichen Wirtschaftsordnung hervorhebt. Kleine und mittlere Betriebe sind darüber hinaus Träger einer neuen expandierenden Dynamik wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisfindung mit Vorbildcharakter. [vgl. Roppe, K. 2014]. Um diesen wachsenden Anforderungen gerecht zu werden, bedarf es in den KMU neuer Perspektiven, Ansätze und Modelle. Das führt folglich zu der Frage, welche konkreten Konzepte notwendig und erfolgversprechend sind, um diesen ambitionierten Leitanspruch in innovativen KMU umzusetzen und weiterentwickeln. Es wird daher untersucht, wie der Ausbau individueller und organisationaler Kompetenzen, die Erhöhung des internen Bildungsniveaus sowie die Forschungs- und Entwicklungsintensität in den kleinen und mittleren Unternehmen als konjunkturbelebende Triebkräfte in hochentwickelten Industrieländern dienen. Zudem wird aufgezeigt, dass die erziehungswissenschaftliche berufliche Bildung dafür einen wichtigen Baustein darstellt und durch Prozesse geprägt ist, die Berufspädagogik auch mit Arbeitsorganisation, Technologie und Innovation verknüpft [VGL. BACHE, I. / GEORGE, S. / BULMER, S. 2011]. Daher besteht auch eine tiefe Verflechtung zwischen den beruflichen Aus-, Fort-, und Weiterbildungsprozessen und der Organisations- bzw. Unternehmenssoziologie in den KMU. Ein Individualisierungsprozess im modernen Arbeitsleben einer Wissensgesellschaft hat demnach neue organisationale Funktionsmuster. Man spricht heute davon, die Effizienz von Bildungsleistungen zu steigern, indem man mehr „Wirtschaftsorientierung“ und „Markt“ in die Pädagogik einbringt [VGL. FISCHER, A. 1954 UND VGL. GONON, P. 1992] Die Herausbildung und aktive Förderung interessenorientierter Netzwerke mit Hochschulen und Bildungseinrichtungen sind unverzichtbar für diesen Individualisierungsprozess, der neue Strategien für „Innnovationskanäle“ konzeptualisiert [VGL. ICKS, A. / ISFAN, K. 2004]. Es zeigt sich, dass die komplementäre Kooperation zwischen KMU und fachspezifischen Universitäten besonders stark ausgeprägt ist und da vor allem durch den ingenieurwissenschaftlichen Sektor überdurchschnittlich repräsentiert wird. Somit sind die thematischen Schwerpunkte des technologieorientierten Wissenstransfers und der Innovationssynergien klar im Bereich ingenieurtechnischer Anwendungsforschung gesetzt. Man spricht in der Soziologie der Wissensgesellschaft auch von „Network Society“, um in globalisierender Deutung die neuen Strukturierungen netzwerkförmiger ökonomischer, sozialer und politischer Kooperationen zu würdigen (VGL. AUER, T. / STURZ. W. 2007]. Synergien, Individualisierungsausprägungen und marktwirtschaftliche Innovationen in KMU, die durch komplementäre Kooperation mit Hochschulen, Bildungsträgern und weiteren Unternehmen in wissenschaftlichen Verbundprojekten entstehen, werden oft lediglich theoretisch gedeutet, ohne die wesentlichen praktischen Aspekte, den Qualifikations- und Kompetenzgewinn sowie die weitreichenden Vorteile konvergierender Geschäfts- und Kompetenzwelten zu untersuchen. Die Gesellschaftswissenschaften reflektieren nur unzureichend, dass die Wirtschafts- und Gesellschaftsordnung den Bestand an Kompetenzen (Fach,- Methoden,- Sozial,- Personalkompetenz) in entwicklungsfördernder Konsequenz insbesondere über KMU verbreitet und reproduziert. [VGL. COLE, T. 2010 UND SOM, O. / JÄGER, A. 2012]. Die Erwerbsorganisation KMU bietet quasi als überschaubares verkleinertes Abbild der Gesellschaft die wissenschaftliche Perspektive eines Mikrokosmos, der die entscheidenden Auswirkungen des Wandels in Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft verdeutlicht. An konkreten Beispielen wird aufgezeigt, wie Handlungsoptionen aktiv gestaltet werden können und sich die veränderten gesellschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen für den Unternehmenserfolg nutzen lassen.

Ergebnisse, Resümee und Ausblick Literaturverzeichnis Internetquellen Versicherung<br>The business-related processes of individualization, of social structure transition, of technology development and of internationalization have direct connection with transition of society as a whole. [SEE TÜRK, K. / LEMKE, T. / BRUCH, M. 2006 AND SEE BOLINSKI, P. 2000] Structural change in society would inevitably lead to structural difficulties in education and in economy sectors. Thus, educational processes also characterize the business organizations as action centers in modern society. The influence of education and economy on each other sets measures in achieving the communication-based symbiosis, which also characterizes the social and economic development through to today’s knowledge-based society and which also, as a result, is shaped by a high degree of innovation, research and development. The future workforce needs the theoretical knowledge together with practical skills. Personality development requests therefore the competence-oriented development for independent action. In small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs, German: KMU), this skill can be taught, for example, by dual and cooperative training and qualification concept. In economic and social aspects, the small and medium-sized enterprises are the leading enterprise form in European Union. They constitute almost 99% of all the enterprises and provide employment for nearly 70 million people. The small and medium-sized enterprises generate about 50 percent of taxable transactions, employ about 66 percent of employees and train around 85 percent of the trainees. [SEE WIPPLER, A. 2013]. The present paper aims to contribute to the exemplary description of the complicated phenomena in business sociology and for the case study to normatively and explicitly emphasize the potential importance of business type of small and medium-sized enterprises as purveyor of knowledge-based operational capacity in economic order under market economy conditions. Moreover, the small and medium-sized enterprises are supporters of a new expanding dynamic of scientific recognition with model character. [SEE Roppe, K. 2014]. In order to meet the increasing requirement, new perspectives, approaches and models are needed inside the small and medium-sized enterprises. As a result, this leads to the question which concrete concepts are so necessary and promising, that this ambitious rule can be implemented and further developed in innovative small and medium-sized enterprises. Therefore, it will be researched, how the expansion of individual and organizational competence as invigorating driving forces in highly developed industrial country helps increase the internal educational level as well as the intensity of research and development in small and medium-sized enterprises. Moreover, the paper demonstrates that the educational vocational training is an important component and influenced by the process, in which the vocational education, labor organization, technology and innovation are connected. [SEE BACHE, I. / GEORGE, S. / BULMER, P. 2011] As a result, a deep interconnection between vocational education and organizational or enterprise sociology exists in small and medium-sized enterprises. The process of individualization in modern working life in knowledge-based society has gained therefore new organizational functional models. People say, the efficiency of education service increases, because the pedagogy is more economy and market-oriented. [SEE FISCHER, A. 1954 AND SEE GONON, P. 1992] The development and active promotion of interest-oriented network with colleges and educational organizations are indispensable for this process of individualization, which conceptualize the new strategy for “innovative channel”. [SEE ICKS, A. / ISFAN, K. 2004]. It is shown that the complementary cooperation between small and medium-sized enterprises and discipline-specific universities is particularly strong and by engineering science department it is representative above average. Therefore, the thematic priorities of technology-oriented knowledge transfer and the synergy of innovation fall clearly in the field of engineering science applied research. We also say “Network Society” in the sociology of knowledge-based society, in order to show recognition for new structure of network-like, economic, social and political cooperation in globalizing context. (SEE AUER, T. / STURZ, W. 2007). Synergy, forms of individualization and market economy oriented innovation in small and medium-sized enterprises, whose development is the result of complementary cooperation with universities, educational organizations and other enterprises in scientific joint projects, are usually only theoretical interpreted and without essential practical aspects, in which the gained qualification and competence as well as the extensive benefits of converging world of business and competence are researched. The reflection of social science is insufficient, that the economic and social order enlarges and reproduces the portfolio of competence (professional, methodical, social and personal competence) with development-enhancing consequence, especially about small and medium-sized enterprises [SEE COLE, T. 2010 AND SEE SOM, O. / JÄGER, A. 2012]. Small and medium-sized enterprises as business organization and as a clear and scale-reduced reflection of the society provide a scientific perspective of microcosm where the crucial impacts of economic and social transition are illustrated. Based on concrete examples, the paper shows how the options for action can be actively shaped and how the society’s changing basic condition can be of use for business success. In this way, the research results and knowledge gained are authentic, verifiable and reproducible.:INHALTSVERZEICHNIS Inhaltsverzeichnis I Abbildungsverzeichnis II Tabellenverzeichnis III Abkürzungsverzeichnis IV 1.

Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Commerce Law, and Management, School of Governance, University of Witwatersrand, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Master of Management in Public Policy (MMPP), Johannesburg, South Africa 2019<br>The notion of policy networks is an integral instrument of policy-making in democratic states. Significant policy challenges are deemed often too complex to be dealt with only through traditional hierarchal government structures. The notion of policy networks is used to analyse and evaluate policy processes and their outcomes. The knowledge gap that the study is dealing with is on the role and effects the interplay of power, cooperation and conflict has in the policy networks and the policy-making process. The aim of this study was to explore the interplay between power, conflict and cooperation in the free higher education policy network in South Africa. A dialectical approach to analysis of policy networks was applied to inform the conceptual frame used in the study. The methodology followed the interpretivist-constructivist paradigm, which then informed the use of qualitative methods in the study. A snowballing sampling approach was employed to identify the study participants. The study analysed the results by using a thematic analysis approach. Findings in the study confirmed that free higher education policy-making was happening through a complex policy network. This free higher education network was characterised by a dominance of power, along with high levels of conflict and cooperation among actors who tended to share the same interests. The presence of power, conflict and cooperation had an influence on the network’s structure, interactions, context and the policy outcome. The influence of power, conflict and cooperation demonstrated that there is an iterative and dialectical relationship between network structure, interactions, context and policy outcome.<br>XL2019

Submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Technology: Human Resources Management, Durban University of Technology, 2010.<br>To face the challenges of the 21st century, institutions need to address problems experienced by the modern world. The nature of modern work is changing and continually increasing, with knowledge, information and education. As we move further into the information and knowledge age, the workforce will require sophisticated education and training to sustain competitiveness and responsible development. In response to this challenge the DOE restructured Higher Education to make it relevant to the needs of society and industry. In terms of the National Plan Higher Education (2001) many Technikons were either converted to Universities of Technology (UOT) or merged into universities and became Comprehensive Universities. The Traditional University made up the third type of university. As a result three distinct types of institutions emerged, namely UOTs, Comprehensive Universities and Traditional Universities. In this configuration previous Technikons were reclassified as a UOTs and were able to offer degrees also. This research studied the development of UoTs and its evolution to “University” status. After being classified as Universities of Technology, it soon became clear that these universities lacked a philosophy. Its attributes were not clearly formulated by the DOE. It was left largely to the UoTs in South Africa to develop a set of attributes. This study developed an underlying philosophy, attributes, and performance indicators to guide the strategic direction and development of UoTs in creating a unique personality for itself. Five universities were studied in UK, Germany and Switzerland to develop a set of characteristics/attributes and performance indicators that can be adopted in South Africa. Five local UoTs were also studied, together with the South African Technological Network in building a set of common attributes. A Balanced Score Card was designed as a management model. Each attribute was linked to drivers and each driver was linked to performance indicators. The model included the various perspectives and components, which illustrated the interaction and cause and effect relationships. The philosophy of a Learning Organisation was adopted and its principals underpinned the interaction and relationships. This model will ensure that South African UoTs are able to comply with both national and international benchmarks. UoTs pride themselves by ensuring that they produce and apply knowledge to solve real world problems. These universities see themselves as part of the greater society and therefore partnerships are critical to its functioning. Technology transfer and leadership in technology is a key strategic goal in determining its unique position in the Higher Education landscape. The Balanced Score Card was used to develop a management model which is a tool in establishing a UoT with benchmarks, performance indicators and drivers.

The percentage of domestic entrepreneurs had increased year after year due to the fact of economic instability, personal goal and made more money etc. factors. Therefore, people had considered entrepreneurship even when they were at school. Universities of technology education is more emphasis on establish base professional information and practical skills than general universities, and students at universities of technology had more cognizant and acuity on economic’s and future economic situations’s development. The study’s research shows that students at the excellent university of technology in Higher Education Evaluation & Accreditation Council evaluate 2010 academia-industry cooperation and have executed entrepreneurial education. The study used entrepreneurial motivation and entrepreneurial capability questionnaire was developed as instrument in order that comprehend their perceptions and relationship between the two. 1,265 questionnaires were distributed and 1,053 effective questionnaires which accounted for 83.1%. Finally, this study achieved the following results through descriptive statistics, one-sample t-test, independent-sample t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s product-moment correlation, and multiple regression analysis were adopted and the conclusions were as follows: 1.The entrepreneurial motivation and entrepreneuriall capability of student’s perceptions were beyond the average level. 2.Students at universities of technology with the experience of taking entrepreneurial education, entrepreneurial experience of family, involvement campus and be a core member, working experience more than three years have higher entrepreneurial motivation. 3.Students at universities of technology with male, entrepreneurial experience of family, involvement campus, and be a core member have higher entrepreneurial capability. 4.Significant positive correlation resulted from the entrepreneurial motivation and entrepreneurial capability. 5.Internal motivation, external motivation, male, and involvement campus and be a core member can significantly predict entrepreneurial capability. Based on the results, the suggestions are provided for use the scale to assess, government and civic organization, execute entrepreneurial education in university of technology, students who want to create their own business and follow-up studies as a reference.
