• Professor Stephen Marshall
• Professor Colin Evers

Summary

This study aims to establish a model that enables the development of private higher education (PHE) in Vietnam, using a combination of institutional logics, institutional theory and agency theory to conduct a comparative study between Vietnam, China and Korea. The research findings highlight the impact of institutional factors in the development of PHE in the three countries, resulting in a series of implications for developing a more effective model that encourages a healthy development of Vietnamese PHE.
