Perspectives
Decentralisation of Colleges
T he term college in a university usually refers to a residential college. However, in certain uni-
versities, a college can also refer to an independent entity that operates under the umbrella of
the parent university. In fact, the college can be more successful and well known than the parent
university. The structural transformation, currently underway at UUM from the faculty concept
to the college concept, which is seen as a transformation from centralised to decentralised in its
governance, hopes to enable UUM to change itself into a universal management university.
It is envisaged that with this new concept more graduate students can be produced and
higher quality inter-disciplinary research in the field of management can be conducted. It is ex-
pected that, through the college system, inter-disciplinary research, publications and consulta-
tions could be easily managed and at the same time reduce administrative costs. This new system
is seen to have autonomy in administrative decisions and in generating income to the college.
This concept is in line with the Fourth Strategy of the University Strategic Planning, which is the
capability to generate income.
In general, decentralisation refers to giving some administrative and decision-making power
of a central organisation, to a smaller part of an organisation, or withdrawing the administrative and decision-making power
from a centre or place of concentration. It is hoped that with the college system, a big administrative bureaucratic entity can be
transformed to smaller entities which would increase efficiency and reduce bureaucratic processes.
However, the success of this decentralised system is highly depended on two factors; first, the leadership and the innovation
of the colleges involved, and second, the clarity of boundary and power of authority within the college (intra-college), among
colleges (inter-college), and with the parent university.
The vagueness in the boundary of authority will not only delay the decision-making processes but also hinder the flow of
information. Worst yet, this vagueness might induce the negative factors of nepotism, patronage and paternalism in the deci-
sion-making process. Those in the management level should be seen as role models in their respective fields. Their positions
should reflect their academic excellence, rather than just some position with the power of authority.

T he dictum ‘Change is inevitable…’ is about to unfold in Malaysia’s premier management univer-
sity – Universiti Utara Malaysia. In particular, the university populace will brace themselves with
the restructuring of academic units from 13 faculties to three (3) colleges – Business, Arts and Sci-
ences, and Law, Government, and International Studies. Optimists and sceptics have been bustling
with hopes and doubts on what the future can offer for them. Let me take the side of the former
and scribble some thoughts on what lies ahead with this looming organisational change.
I see the restructuring as a ‘differentiation strategy’, one that can provide us something that is
unique and distinctive in the Malaysian higher education landscape. This will also allow us to re-
channel and optimise our financial resources for academic programmes, services, and products
that are highly in demand and responsive to local and global educational needs. I am positive that
the restructuring will serve as a platform for us to improve our financial efficiency in its broadest
sense.
In addition, it will hopefully ‘right-size’ our human resources, both academic and non-academic, and minimise or avoid any job
redundancy, if any. I am positive that it will also foster better and closer working relationships as there will only be three big
‘families’ to manage as compared to the existing 13 ‘households’. As we get ‘smaller’, there will be more chances for social inter-
action, professional dialogues, and academic discussions that will subsequently facilitate better morale, higher team spirit, and
stronger cohesion.
The future is definitely uncertain, as things may change and metamorphise into something unexpected although carefully
planned. Nevertheless, it is this uncertainty that gives a spectrum of motivation and challenge to continually search for what is
best for the greater good of the constituents. Being a management university, to innovate and lead is of utmost concern, and I
see this restructuring initiative as a commendable move. Que sera sera….
