Abstract
As complex organizations, higher education institutions (HEIs) comprise a highly interactive set of structures, activities, and currencies. Despite the extant effect of historical experiences and national particularities, it is useful to view HEIs as consisting of familiar structural components (e.g., divisions into undergraduate and graduate education, students, faculties, staffs, disciplines, schools, etc.); governance components (e.g., internal administrative structures, governing boards, linkages to external constituencies including governments, networking with other HEIs either within or between nations, engaging professional societies, etc.); activities (e.g., teaching, research, community engagements); and currencies (e.g., publishing, exchanging personnel, creating, validating and exchanging credentials [including grades, credits, and degrees], quality markets [such as program and institutional accreditation], and intellectual/knowledge content).
