EXPECTATION

PERFORMANCE
(Performance-based Incentives.)
Professionalisation of
Research Management
To be alert of a changing policy environment.
To design and operate new structures and
processes for simulating, guiding and
managing research.
To make strategic decision-making with public
research priorities and industry sources.
Successful research at an institution depends,
not only in academic matters (on depth of
expertise) but also in management and
leadership.
Challenges of Research Mgmt

Need good articulation and coordination
between the academic and administrative
sides.
Need coordination between centrally located
and faculty based staff.
Administrative staff need to understand and
appreciate research process and issues.
Researchers need to understand project
mgmt, legal, communication, leadership, and
basic technology business knowledge.
Research Mgmt Issues

Education: To raise the level of skill in project
management, research strategy, intelligence
and resources.
Communication: Not just within an
organisation but also between organisations.
Exploitation: Managing and exploiting
research product.
Pengurusan Penyelidikan Yang Baik

Pengurusan penyelidikan masa kini memerlukan mindset yang
berbeza, kerana keberhasilan dari aktivi penyelidikan yang
diharapkan oleh negara pada masa kini juga adalah berbeza.
Penyelidik kini perlu mahir bukan sahaja dalam bidang
kepakarannya tetapi juga dalam perkara lain yang berkaitan
seperti pengurusan, komunikasi, kepimpinan, dan hubungan dengan
pihak lain.
Pengurusan projek penyelidikan masa kini perlu dilaksanakan
secara profesional dengan menitikberatkan beberapa elemen
seperti ketelusan, keluhuran, etika dan akauntabiliti.
Urus tadbir penyelidikan disemua peringkat bermula dari
peringkat individu, kumpulan, pusat, universiti sehingga
keperingkat agensi dan negara perlu diperkemaskan.
