title = "Processes of Modernisation in Two Public Universities in Vietnam: University Managers{\textquoteright} Perspectives",
abstract = "This chapter examines key processes of modernisation as perceived by senior managers and middle managers in two public universities in Hanoi. Managers{\textquoteright} perceptions highlight the importance of multi-disciplinary expansion and research development to the formation of each institution{\textquoteright}s development strategy. The chapter begins with a profile of the two case universities and a description of their development strategies. Next, managers{\textquoteright} comments in respect to market competition, the regulation of higher education, and the institution{\textquoteright}s approach to change management are reported. To conclude, the chapter briefly discusses the contradictions facing public university managers in Vietnam as they pursue market-driven strategies in an environment of severe resource constraints and government control.",
