Abstract
In 2004 and 2005, a group of researchers from 22 countries agreed to plan and carry out an international survey of theChanging Academic Profession(CAP), focusing in part on the theme of academic perceptions of university governance and management. Twelve of the countries represented by these researchers had participated in a similar survey in 1992 (Boyer et al. 1994; Altbach 1996), and thus the CAP study opened up for these countries the prospect of a detailed comparison of some of the 1992 results with more recent findings.

In the initial depiction of this model, the six stages were portrayed as loosely causal with earlier stages shaping later stages. Additionally drivers were positioned in front of beliefs. In the depiction above, beliefs are positioned ahead of drivers reflecting the prominent role of culture in this book’s analysis.
