Wisdom of the Elders: Strategic Leadership Conversations with Australian Vice-Chancellors and Members of the Professoriate View Digital Media
Paper Presentation in a Themed Session Tess Howes
The Australian Higher Education sector is one of the most technically sophisticated and globalised of all the Australian industries. In 2018 it contributed $37.9 billion to the national economy, of which $30.3 billion was generated by Australian universities. In 2018 the sector employed 121,718 people (total FT and fractional FT staff) including 52,669 academic and 69,049 non-academic staff who are collectively responsible for educating more than 1,562,520 of Australia’s most promising students. Yet, evidence suggests that three decades after ‘strategic’ planning was implemented in Australian universities as part of the wide scale structural reforms led in 1988 by the Hon. John Dawkins, then Commonwealth Minister for Employment Education and Training, several leadership tensions are often expressed between the Commonwealth Government and the Australian university sector, as well as between the executive and academic staff. A collection of interviews with former Vice-Chancellors and members of the professoriate (Howes, 2020) brings to the discussion insights from a representative sample of academic leaders who led, or witnessed, the implementation of the ‘Dawkins Reforms’ in the Australian higher education sector and discuss the impact the introduction of strategic leadership and the implementation of strategic planning has had on Australian universities. University executives have a responsibility to act in the best interests of the university. They also have a responsibility to act in the best interests of all their stakeholders, past, present, and future. These two primary leadership responsibilities should not be in conflict.
The New Normal: Business Education for Medical Students and Practicing Physicians View Digital Media
Paper Presentation in a Themed Session Alan Whiteman, Bailey Pierce, Urmala Roopnarinesingh
The business of medicine has reached a pinnacle of complexity, leaving physicians at a loss for successfully operating their individual practice or taking a role in the leadership of a larger group practice. The arising trend is for medical students and practicing physicians to seek business training through healthcare focused MBA programs or MHA programs. This study highlights these issues and offers solutions.
How to Enhance the Value of Education and Training: Comprehensive Application of Effectiveness Evaluation and Personnel Management View Digital Media
Paper Presentation in a Themed Session Li Wei Ou, Chi-Tung Tsai
This study is based on the four-level model proposed by Kirkpatrick in 1994, taking the N unit of the W Research Center as an example to discuss how to improve the existing education and training to achieve the purpose of the formulation. In the past, the W Research Center did not have a complete system for education, training and evaluation, which led to the low willingness of members to participate, but also directly affected the research quality of research members and caused inaccuracy in the research process. Therefore, this study uses Kirkpatrick's four-level model to propose related supporting programs, so that the unit will not only improve the research quality of the members, but also create a good organizational identity and achieve the goal of sustainable development.
