"This book provides a history of Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, and its unbreakable rise from 2003, into the ranks of the top universities in the world - a leading one in Asia, and the youngest (less than 50 years old) in the World. It describes the role of the leadership team of Su Guaning, Haresh Shah, and Bertil Andersson, which together formed the 'Troika' taking NTU to the heights that it achieved; and provides a record of its growth and how it came about through a root and branch reform of the university to become a prominent institution"--Provided by publisher. |
