Profit Centres, Cost Centres

Abstract

Value for money, cost effectiveness, enterprise and quality assurance are rapidly becoming the new catchwords in higher education management. Corporate forms of management are considered as polytechnics and universities struggle to find organisational structures to cope with the world of competition. Fundamental issues of management and not just profit centres/cost centres are discussed.
