Abstract
Arguably, the demise of communism in Central and Eastern Europe was the largest environmental change for higher education institutions in the last half-century. Hundreds of higher education institutions in tens of countries were challenged, inter alia, to:
change their governance and management structures to more democratic ones that would allow more autonomous behaviour;
-change their curricula to match the transformation from socialist economies to market economies;
-change their mission from mainly teaching-oriented to incorporate research; and
-compete with a new sector of private higher education institutions of varying kinds.
