Abstract:

The silo effect in higher education institutions refers to the rigid reporting structures and decentralisation, which have become barriers to providing staff and students with essential information and services. Changing the processes and procedures that support the delivery of student services in higher education would result in improving the experience for everyone, for example, reducing the time spent transferring their calls or making them visit several campus buildings to resolve a query. Connecting cross-functional teams to define problems and design solutions, has proved challenging bec

The purpose of this study was to investigate staff retention at an institution of higher learning. The University of South Africa (UNISA) was the institution under scrutiny in this study.

Abstract:

<p> Anchor institutions are colleges and universities that, in recognition of the interdependence they share with their host community, collaboratively engage in effort to better their locale. Anchors strategically approach community partnerships and the contribution of institutional assets they provide towards selected efforts that are beneficial to both the community and the institution.
