Research Mentoring in a Changing Environment: A Case Study

Mentoring, as an arrangement for academic and professional development in higher education, is a relatively recent innovation. Planned and structured collegial support has been seen to serve two functions, these being of a compensatory and nurturant kind. The case study, reported here, is distinctive in that it discusses research mentoring in an institution undergoing significant academic restructuring. The nature of the project was one in which the mentor/mentees relationship was developed in recognition of the participants being peers but having experienced different academic histories. The process was seen to be a generative one which passed through four stages: initiation; cultivation; separation and redefinition. The study is coauthored by all participants in the process and can be represented as reflexive inquiry as it captures the growing awareness and insightfulness of each person playing out his or her roles. In this sense, then, the paper is a reflective evaluation of the process rather than an account of research in progress.

Changing the Name of a Major University: A Case Study and How-To Guide

There is nothing more exciting for a school than taking on a new name that is more reflective of what the institution has become. Many schools have changed names from “College” to “University” or have been renamed for prominent individuals. On August 28, 2005, Southwest Missouri State University officially became Missouri State University. This change was 20 years in the making and did not happen without a tremendous amount of effort on the part of administrators, faculty, students, alumni, and many elected officials at all levels of government. Though seemingly a simple thing, implementing the name change was anything but. This case study explains the steps taken to complete the transition, including the important branding decisions made along the way. It also provides a detailed guideline for other schools facing similar challenges.     

Blurring Boundaries and Changing University Staff: The Case of the University of Hong Kong

In the changing higher education environment, universities increasingly engage in areas outside the traditional teaching and research missions. The new missions extend over wide yet specialized areas, such as technological advancement, internationalization, entrepreneurship, and enhancement of teaching and learning. To effectively handle these areas, universities require specific talents that may not be found in conventional academic and administrative cadres. The transformation highlights blurred boundaries between academic and non-academic spheres of the university. Situated in the University of Hong Kong (HKU), this paper explores how the university utilizes new professionals and administrative staff in new missions. Qualitative interviews with university staff reveal their profiles and perceptions in evolving organizational structures. By examining understudied subjects in Hong Kong, it discusses implications of changing university staff and how universities may optimize their new talent.     

大学内部的利益冲突与组织决策——以某地方综合性大学旧房改造项目为例

本案例中,大学的规章制度与组织结构规定了参与旧房改造项目相关决策的群体和机构以及做出相关决策所需要的步骤与程序,也规定了不同群体在这一决策过程中的不同地位和可能拥有的资源,甚至是他们的决策倾向;旧房改造项目的冲突根源在于计划经济体制向市场经济体制转型过程中大学内部出现的不同群体的利益分化,但值得注意的是,这些不同群体的利益冲突却是以质疑相关环节上决策者行为的合法性为中心展开的,而关于合法性的争议则更多地涉及了对相关行为的价值意义的解释.     

关于开放大学发展原点和如何发展的思考

新时代,社会大众多样化、个性化的教育需求和继续教育改革需求为开放大学建设带来了机遇。在开放大学建设过程中,政策的模糊性给电大系统整体转型带来了困惑,办学定位、办学模式和管理体制的转变给开放大学建设带来了挑战。开放大学应该担负起大学使命,发挥自身的开放性、区域性和系统性优势,明确"大学、体系和平台"三者综合定位,在服务定位、人才培养、资源整合、理念确定等方面着力,进而更好地为终身教育体系和学习型社会建设服务。     

A Case Study of Changing the Learning Environment in Law: Introducing Computer-Supported Collaborative Activities

This article reports on a 3-year case study of the introduction of computer-supported collaborative activities in a previously traditional lecture-based law course at a large North American research university. The evolving design of the activities is described, as well as the students' and professor's reactions to the new learning environment. Results show that students perceived that the new emphasis on skills was valuable, and that the collaborative learning activities contributed to their learning of content and technical skills as well as teamwork. Implications for design of such activities as well as factors to consider are presented, for instance, any changes must be considered systemically, with evaluation and workload being key components.

金融集聚与区域经济增长的关系研究——以安徽省为例

金融业的健康发展对国民经济发展具有直接的影响,在中国金融业发展过程中,产生了金融集聚现象,而金融集聚与区域的经济增长紧密联系。本研究以安徽省1996—2016年数据为基础,利用区位熵模型对新常态下金融集聚与区域经济增长的关系进行分析评价。结果表明:(1)安徽省金融产业集聚程度要低于全国水平,区位熵值仅处于0. 5左右,金融集聚能力有待加强。(2)安徽省金融行业中银行业集聚对于经济增长的推进力度最大。(3)安徽省应该把握好新常态下经济增长的规律,及时调整对金融行业中不同产业的扶持力度,推进金融产业市场化改革,优化产业服务,向金融大省迈进。

经济环境与人文环境对区域传媒产业发展的影响研究

基于2013年中国大陆31个省级行政区传媒产业发展数据,考察了地区经济环境和人文环境对当地传媒产业发展的影响。回归结果表明,从经济环境分析,人均GDP和城镇化率对当地传媒产业经营收入影响不显著,而城镇居民年人均可支配收入对当地传媒产业经营总收入有显著的正向影响;从人文环境分析,传媒核心受众人数对当地传媒产业经营收入有显著的正向影响而媒介消费时长对当地传媒产业经营总收入呈负相关。说明我国传媒产业的发展力主要来自于其核心受众的社会消费力1。
