Abstract
Higher education reforms happening in Europe, Africa, South-East Asia and all over the world demand changes at higher education institutions. The reforms are a consequence of globalization, expanding access to higher education, new technologies (computer, internet), new concept in public management, formidable competition, and convergence of higher education policies. Universitas Ma Chung as a new university in the midst of competition of 3,673 state and private universities in Indonesia, and universities around the globe, implements higher education management strategies employing a variety of approaches. This paper addresses one of its management strategies using the Project Action Plan (PAP) to strengthen the University Centre of Excellence aiming at sharpening and brightening the colour and excellence in the university research sector at national and international level through four activities which are expected to make impact internally, nationally, and globally. They are (a) a new grand design of the CORE Ma Chung Research Centre for Photosynthetic Pigments (MRCCP) in biotechnology, (b) creating the foundation of excellent research atmosphere, (c) strengthening the existing collaboration and the position in the international consortium, and (d) creating the national consortium in the core area of research. The result of the PAP implementation over eight months shows that (1) a project action plan is a reliable tool for initiating, planning, implementing, controlling, and evaluating a project to help an organization in making a project succeed by determining the time, place, person in charge (PIC), personnel involved, support needed, and is a measuring instrument to gauge detailed success with clear milestones. The PAP-implementation further shows that, (2) the right human resources are the main movers of PAP in particular, and organization in general. It is finally recognized that, (3) the execution of PAP is determined by a number of internal and external factors that require the art of management and leadership.
