Comparison of Methods by Which Universities are Managed In Third World and Developed Countries

In today’s world, countries’ progress and development are based on information and Science. Research and production of science and technology are the most important bases for economic, social, cultural, industrial and political growth and development. Change and growth, human development, progress and advancement of science and etc each have an important position and have their own domain that are ultimately driven with correct management (Nourshahi, 2011). In this manuscript after review of the topic’s literature, University management in third world and developed countries is evaluated and discussed, compared side by side and finally strategies for improvement of management in Iran and third world countries are suggested. If there is any change or important action to be taken about higher education and research, one of the successful methods based on experience of large and number one universities in the world is delegation of election of university chancellor to the board of trustees. Research on this topic first requires consideration and serious thoughtfulness in the election of the members of the board of trustees themselves. These members should be selected from the most well known scientific, university, economic, social and cultural figures and the board should be considered the main place for legislation and selection of the University chancellor and director.
