摘要：
Similar to several other Western European countries, a 'managerial revolution' has swept through Dutch higher education. Partly in response to the new Act to Modernise the Structure of University Governance, many universities have set up education institutes. Purpose of the investigation was to find out whether the establishment of education institutes serves to improve education quality. A suitable framework for analysing the information gathered was obtained by applying Ernst Marx's analytical model of the university administrative organisation. The application of this framework isolated four factors critical for the success of education institutes. In four out of the eight institutes the organisation of education is having a beneficial influence upon education quality. The director of the education institute plays an important role due to either demonstrable educational or transformative leadership qualities or by allowing teachers to take initiatives and above all making teaching teams responsible for parts of the curriculum. © 2000 International Association of Universities.
