Abstract
Since late ‘80s, higher education reform policies in Europe as well as in the most developed countries have been characterized by a strong emphasis on, and a commitment towards, the development of market or market-like logic and arrangements both in governing and organizing higher education sector and institutions. Generally, it is acknowledged that market-oriented reforms and policies in higher education are based on three main pillars: 1) awarding a larger and substantive autonomy to higher education institutions, paralleled by accountability and performance-based evaluation for allocating public resources; 2) a growing pressure on institutions to seek and retrieve entrepreneurially economic resources in order to complement, but also to expand, their financial budgets as the state growingly retrenched; 3) competition among institutions, as well as within individual institutions, on attracting students, scholars and economic resources (both public and private).
