Citations in the corpus

• The impact of a pathway college on reputation and brand awareness for its affiliated university in Sydney (2010, background): “Further, ever-changing and increasingly complex market forces mean that well-established universities can no longer rely upon reputation alone and need to assure the quality and price of offerings ( Briggs, 2006”
• University choice: what do we know, what don’t we know and what do we still need to find out? (2015, background): “There are no factors or characteristics of universities identified which drive the choices of all students, academic reputation was the highest ranked factor in a study conducted in the UK by Briggs (2006), see also studies on “reputation” by Nguyen and LeBlanc (2001), Daily et al.”
• First year student expectations: Results from a university-wide student survey (2009, background): “Students enrol in university programs for disparate reasons (Batchelor, 2006; Briggs, 2006) and their reasons for continuing, or discontinuing, their studies are complex (Zepke, 2006).”
• Making sense of higher education: students as consumers and the value of the university experience (2014, methodology): “Were the study to be continued this way, then analysis could be extended by using a prioritisation scheme to identify those ‘objects’ having the largest positive/negative student impact (e.g. Briggs 2006; McKnight 2009).”
• Brand personality in higher education: anthropomorphized university marketing communications (2017, background): “The location of the institution relative to a prospective student’s home is also quite important (Briggs, 2006; Vrontis, Thrassou, & Melanthiou, 2007).”
• Management-by-results and performance measurement in universities – implications for work motivation (2014, background): “Unlike in many other countries, university rankings and league tables (see, for example, Briggs 2006) play only a minor role in student choice.”
• Can a higher education institution's marketing strategy improve the student‐institution match? (2011, background): “For example, students today are increasingly more active when making decisions in relation to consumer choices with the best possible outcomes for them ( Briggs, 2006”
• Which university? A study of the influence of cost and information factors on Scottish undergraduate choice (2007, background): “This study is part of a larger study (Briggs, 2006) that considered the importance of the 22 factors listed in Table 1, with ordered mean results by session of entry.”
