| Abstract: | This paper addresses to the question of how to empower research competence of a kind which would lead a peripheral university
like SNU to becoming a world-class university. There have been noticeable achievements in building competitive, first class
universities in many developing nations, particularly in Asian countries. This paper will examine the process by which SNU
can be transforming SNU into a world-class university in Korea. The analysis will focus on the internal reforms implemented
at SNU over the last 10 years and the effectiveness of these policies. The main strategy undertaken to bring SNU up to the
world-class level was to emphatically pursue excellence in research. Long before governmental funds were allocated for this
purpose from 1999 onwards, SNU had already vigorously pursued excellence in research and teaching. The experiences of SNU
in these endeavours represents an important case study that bears vital theoretical and practical implications for other Korean
universities, as well as for universities in other middle-income countries. |
