Approaches Universities Take in Their Own Leadership and Management

This chapter focuses on the responses to the core research question and related sub-questions about the approaches of universities to organisational leadership and the related, complementary questions included in the Interview Schedule. As the interviews were semi-structured, there was considerable scope and discretion for interviewees to give broad as well as detailed information and to make asides and comments. The information obtained needed sifting and sorting to identify those parts of responses that answered the questions, and to put aside for later analysis broad and specific points raised about other related matters. This was done using the categories of Descriptor Sets and Concept Sets described in Chapter 3.
