Successful Global Collaborations in Higher Education Institutions is an insightful read. This guide is geared towards university administrators, faculty, and staff who want to join forces with other institutions and make their universities preeminent institutions of the 21st century and beyond. The guide is broken into three sections with the first section being my favorite. The first section highlights King Abdulaziz University (KAU) who is the pioneer institution that created the blueprint for global collaborations. Personally, I have never heard of this university before opening the book. However, King Abdulaziz University collaborated with other academic and research institutions which catapulted them into their success in global ranks. The first section also highlights how institutions could create a climate that will assist in creating global partnerships.

“We are on the precipice of an epoch,” in which 21st century organizations are facing a complex, competitive landscape driven largely by globalization and the technological revolution (Hitt, 1998, p. 218). As such, Bikson, Treverton, Moini and Lindstrom (2003) have urged universities to develop a global leadership curriculum, based on their prediction of a future shortage of global leaders in all sectors. This essay examines the critical role of global and culturally responsive leadership for graduates of higher education institutions.

Abstract Strategic planning becomes, nowadays, an integral part of higher education institutions management. It aims at supporting universities and colleges to anticipate changes, mobilize institutional energies and potentials around a shared vision and face new challenges. In spite of the well-acknowledged added value of strategic planning in higher education institutions worldwide, it still has not received enough attention within Algerian research institutions where traditional long-run planning is still prevailing. The present article aims at exploring the practice of research planning among Algerian research institutions focusing on its main elements, namely planning model, setting research priorities, alignment of objectives, research project planning, criteria of validating research projects, researchers' motivations and research projects monitoring. The article also highlights the potential value that strategic planning can deliver to help Algerian research institutions improve their performance and achieve their goals.

The Future

The purpose of this article is to reveal the experiences of the higher education accreditation model and expectations of the freedom to learn policy or “Merdeka Belajar-Kampus Merdeka” (MBKM). Indonesia has more than 4000 higher education institutions that are building quality to educate the nation’s life. But only a few of these managed to become centers of excellence. There has been a widening quality gap between universities in Java and outside Java. Without radical policies in the higher education sector, the future of the young generation will be threatened. MBKM policy, with a few notes, can be an alternative solution for the 21st century.
