The liberalisation of the education industry has exposed
the institute of higher learning (IHL) in Malaysia to the financial
challenges. Without good financial standing, public institution will
rely on the government funding. Ostensibly, this contradicts with the
government’s aspiration to make universities self-sufficient. With stiff
competition from private institutes of higher learning, IHL need to be
prepared at the forefront level. The corporate identity itself is the
entrance to the world of higher learning and it is in this uniqueness, it
will be able to distinguish itself from competitors. This paper
examined the perception of the stakeholders at one of the public
universities in the east coast region in Malaysia on the perceived
reputation and how the university communicate its preparedness for
self-sustainability through corporate identity. The findings indicated
while the stakeholders embraced the challenges in facing the stiff
competition and struggling market conditions, most of them felt the
university should put more efforts in mobilising the corporate identity
to its constituencies. |
