Overview

World-class universities (WCU) are regarded as cornerstone institutions of any academic system and imperative to develop a nation?s competitiveness in the global knowledge economy. Visibility and performance are among the most watched concepts in relation to develop WCUs, but remain complicated in nature and with no agreed upon definitions. Existing literature have focused on how to raise universities? prestige, status, impact and rankings in the global and regional arena on the one hand, and how to enhance universities? quality, efficiency, effectiveness and academic output on the other. However, whether visibility is a legitimate indicator of performance, or vice versa, is yet to be answered. This book provides insights of developing academic excellence from global, national and institutional perspectives, and intends to stimulate discussion on how universities can be?globally visible and locally engaged? and how visibility and performance can be integrated and balanced in practice.
