Globalisation, accounting and developing countries (2017, background): “…also have a responsibility to DCs.

Transforming Higher Education in Whose Image? Exploring the Concept of the ‘World-Class’ University in Europe and Asia (2008, background): “One major consequence of this is the intensified competition among universities to prove their performance through global university league tables or ranking exercises (Dill and Soo, 2005; Guarino et al., 2005; Liu and Cheng, 2005; Merisotis and Sadlak, 2005; Marginson, 2006).”
Competition and efficiency: overseas students and technical efficiency in Australian and New Zealand universities (2009, neutral): “For example, Winston (1999) and Franck and Schönfelder (2000) note the ‘credence good’ nature of much of university output, while Marginson (2006) focuses on the ‘positional good’ nature of university qualifications.8 It is true that the quality of many of the university outputs is unknown.”
Global and national prominent universities: internationalization, competitiveness and the role of the State (2009, background): “…investment on human resources is mainly laid on the graduate school and on the research effort of the university as a way to sustain and improve the current research capability and the student selectivity that supports the reputational base that these universities hold worldwide (Marginson 2006).”
The impossibility of capitalist markets in higher education (2013, background): “…poles: the elite sector, which generates scarce social goods on the basis of autonomous cultural standards; and the mass tending to commercial sector, which is driven by quantity objectives and is partly heteronomous in relation to government and markets (Bourdieu 1993; Marginson 2006, 2008).”
The Research University in Transition: The Emerging Global Model (2008, background): “Their foreign student body is often linked less to research and more to institutional desires to grow in size and thus to contribute to the universities’ bottom line (Marginson, 2006).”

Student mobility reviewed: attraction and satisfaction of international students in Turkey (2011, background): “They perceive the flow of students from the periphery toward the core as a tool to respond to excessive demand for higher education in the periphery (Altbach 2003), to build higher education capacities ( Marginson 2006 ), and to contribute to ‘‘nation building’’ purposes of home countries (Knight 20”
New challenges for higher education: global and Asia-Pacific perspectives (2009, background): “Globalization has thus affected many aspects of higher education, such as governance, faculty academic programs, finance, and student enrollment (Marginson 2006; Stromquist 2007).”
Global University Rankings: Implications in general and for Australia (2007, background): “education as a global market of nations and of universities in both research and doctoral education, and vocational programs ( Marginson, 2006, 2007 ).”
Competition and strategy in higher education: Managing complexity and uncertainty (2016, background): “In effect, internationalization forces universities to compete not only in a national arena but also in a global arena; these two competitive arenas are distinct but feed into each other (Marginson, 2006).”
Why do higher education institutions internationalize? An investigation of the multilevel determinants of internationalization rationales (2016, background): “Elite HEIs are strongly embedded in a global context, which is characterized by a strong competition for status and reputation (Marginson 2006; Cantwell and Taylor 2013).”
