According to the findings from this study, the University of Melbourne, Moscow State University, and University of Cape Town have more tendencies towards the academic self-governance model, while Technical University of Munich, Massachusetts Institution of Technology, The Open University, and the University of Oxford tend to be administered in the marketoriented model and the other selected universities are in the nearest location towards the state-centered model in Clark’s Triangle.
