“…There are many examples of CI concerning non-profit organizations such as British charities (Bennett, 2003, pp. 335-345), human services organizations (Emerson and Harvey, 1996), public libraries (Harrison and Shaw, 2004) and education -in this latter case, using benchmarking and environmental analysis (Weller, 1996). It was therefore appropriate to undertake research into the competitive environment for HEIs in a major Chinese city, Tianjin.…”

E-governance initiatives are common in most countries -industrialised as well as developing, as it promises a more citizen-centric government with reduced operational cost. Unfortunately most of these initiatives have not been able to get the claimed benefits. Often the reason for this failure is a techno-centric focus rather than a governance-centric focus in the initiative. This paper explores the necessary attributes of a governance-centric initiative under the banner ''excellent e-governance' (e 2 -governance) and describes a methodology called 'e-governance engineering', which if used will ensure excellence in e-governance implementations.

Supervision is generally recognised as playing a crucial role in the quality of a research student's doctoral experience and their academic outcomes and, in common with most areas of higher education, there is a desire to pursue excellence in this important area. Excellence in research degree supervision is, however, an elusive concept and on close scrutiny most of the discussions of high quality supervision, even those which purport to be identifying excellence, are couched in terms of competence rather than excellence. This paper examines two potentially national authoritative perspectives from which excellence in research degree supervision might be explicated (codes of practice and learning and teaching awards) from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and the United Kingdom, but concludes that the complex nature of the activity and the complexity of the concept itself mean that rather than identifying excellence in supervision we can only respond to claims for excellence.
