- Abstract
Purpose: The overall goal of the study was to determine how sustainability can best be implemented in selective GIAC by identifying the critical sustainability initiatives affecting the success of GIAC. The rationale for the various questions posed was to identify experiences and challenges faced by respondents collaborating in the GIAC programme, and to provide insights and guidance to consortium attempting to implement a sustainable approach to collaborate within the GIAC programme. Design/methodology/approach: A case study involve an E&E consortium in Malaysia, employed in this qualitative research provided insights into the basics of the variables under study. A primary mode of data collection in this study was through face-to-face interviews. Eight respondents were interviewed. Information was also obtained through document review and analysis. Observations and field notes were additional sources of data acquired. Findings: As the consortium involves with heterogeneous collaborators to be harmonised toward the same objective, the implementation of the even studied factors was not strictly enforced. Moreover, a range of purposive actions needs to be taken to increase the academic involvement and redefine the role of universities under the current circumstances down to activate complex mechanisms of collaboration instead of the current simple mechanisms. Research limitations/implications: This preliminary data cover CREST only as it was the first phase of the ongoing research and the responses from the other Malaysian consortium, by then, may coincide or contrast with the current understanding.
