Reviews
“Neubauer and Gomes have assembled diverse and rich perspectives on the challenges facing higher education in the Asia Pacific region. They point to ways of assessing quality on a continuum, against transnational standards, and in achieving strategic plans.” (William M. Plater, Chancellor’s Professor Emeritus of Public Affairs, Philanthropic Studies, and English, Indiana University, USA)
“This timely volume delves deeply into what quality means for institutions, and how they ensure, assure, and demonstrate quality. The editors develop a useful device for institutions to consider in their journey towards quality. This book deserves the attention of institutional leaders, funding agencies, and all concerned with the quality of our higher education institutions.” (Lily Kong, Provost; Lee Kong Chian Chair Professor of Social Sciences, Singapore Management University)
