Australian higher education institutions have, since the late 1980s, been subjected to strong internal and external pressures. They face increased competition for education and research activities, coupled with greater demands for accountability from governments. These pressures, which began with the Dawkins white paper in 1988, culminated at the University of Sydney in 1992 in an extensive review of the activities of its central administration. Thereview, assisted by the Boston Consulting Group, resulted in significant recommendations which challenged traditional assumptions about the role of university administration. A controversial implementation phase resulted, during which the University struggled with the recommendations. Whilst the review process itself is over, the changes the review precipitated are still unfolding. As the first major attempt at comprehensive reform within the University of Sydney, the review processes and outcomes merit detailed examination.
