Much work has been done to maintain the high quality of teaching and research and to cultivate international links. And following the Strategic Planning Workshop for senior management held in May 1998, much contribution has been made by units across the University to the formulation of an institutional development pla n that clearly defines the University's vision, mission, and strategic direction, identifying areas o f strength for focussed development and outlining action plans for the realization of specific goals. What results is a university that is imbued with a new sense of direction and solidarity, a university that is highly praised by the UGC for its exemplar y management, a university that is ranked among the top te n in Asia, and a university that is always ready to surmount obstacles to achieve even more. m a n a g e m e n t r e v i e w The series of internal audits and management efficiency reviews lauched since early 1997 continued well into 1998-99 .
