Acknowledgments
The original research on which this book was based was carried out with the support of an Australian Postgraduate Award and with the great benefit of advice from Associate Professor Jeff Archer, Dr. Tim Battin, Professor Lynn Meek, and Associate Professor Leo Goedegebuure. Thanks also to Professor Lynda Garland, who, without hesitation, made available an adjunct position to enable this book to be prepared for publication, and to Associate Professor Neil Marshal, who offered timely advice on a publication strategy. Some parts of this work have appeared in different forms. Case study 1 was the basis of various presentations and conference papers and case studies 2 and 3 have been adapted as articles for the journals Public Policy and Higher Education Research and Development Policy, respectively. Many others have provided help and support along the way, not least members of my family and my colleagues at the University of New England.
