Members' Research

The aim of this Research Projects page is to provide ATEM members with a means to share these research activities, to keep up to date with recent research and to avoid any "reinventing of the wheel".

ATEM defines research is defined as any activity that investigates a subject of professional interest to tertiary education management practice.

Items for this section may include PhD research undertaken by members, projects undertaken to improve administrative practice in institutions, reviews of activities and outcomes, experiences of restructurings and reorganisation of institutions, etc. as well as research that relates directly to the work and profession of tertiary education management.

Criteria to determine inclusion on this page are broad. The research:

  • should relate directly to tertiary education managers, their work or their profession;
  • may be undertaken as part of paid employment, or as part of an award course (eg PhD, MA, MBA project or other Masters project);
  • may be work-in-progress;
  • can be institution specific or be more generally applicable across institutions or roles; and
  • can relate to a single event (eg the introduction of a new appeals process), or to a broader series of events over time (eg the implementation of a new quality management system).
