  3. 2. Currently dominant paradigm:Core and Periphery Theory by Altbach

  4. (continued) “Unless they are able to build effective universities that can educate a growing proportion of the population while competing globally for research and knowledge products, Asian countries will be doomed to peripheral status.” Altback, P. G. (2001)

  5. (continued) As a result, we all care about rankings!!

  6. 3. Followership • Proposed by Barbara Kellerman, Professor, Harvard University, in 2008 • Followers “have less power, authority and influence than their superiors, and who usually, but not always, fall into line.” • Originally for individuals, but also useful and applicable for organizations

  7. (continued) “Followership is not about changing the rank of followers, but instead about changing their response to their rank, their superiors and the situation at hand.” “Followers are creating change and changing leaders." Barbara Kellerman (2008)

  8. (continued) • Five types of followers based on level of engagement by Kellerman:

  9. 4. New ideas for a new paradigm • Interactions among leaders and followers • Group rather than individual • Possibility of network universities

  10. (continued) dominant paradigm new paradigm (a platform for ips cell research)

  11. 5. A possible project • Get right persons to create a task force • Discuss the framework of “network universities” • Think of both domestic and international ones • Think of every possible field • Learn from existing cases/experiences • Take time

  12. “Like many good ideas, the East-West Center was not the product of a single mind. The concept of an institution given to East-West interchange germinated in many intellects and over several decades.” EWC The first twenty-five years (1985)
