Dear Maia Chankseliani , thank you for your comment and contribution!
Dear Ronny Gey , thank you for your comment! I would be grateful if you disclose your comment a little bit more.
As knowledge-driven organizations, it is not surprising that colleges and universities should be greatly affected by the rapid advances in information technology -- computers, telecommunications, networks. This technology has already had dramatic impact on campus research activities, including the creation of an entirely new form of research: computer simulation of complex phenomena. Many of the administrative processes have become heavily dependent upon information technology
There is an increasing sense that it will have an even more profound impact on the educational activities of the university and how to deliver the services. To be sure, there have been earlier technology changes such as television, but never before has there been such a rapid and sustained period of change with such broad social applications.
Most significant here is the way in which emerging information technology has removed the constraints of space and time. Educators can now use powerful computers and networks to deliver educational services to anyone at any place and any time, no longer confined to the campus or the academic schedule.
The market for university services is expanding rapidly, but so is competition, as new organizations such as virtual universities and "learning-ware" providers enter this marketplace to compete with traditional institutions.
Emerging information technology is a driver of change in higher education, and we can consider its impact in two areas: (1) the changing nature of our fundamental academic activities, and (2) the changing nature of the higher education enterprise.

Hi Vardan Atoyan,
You may want to think about how universities pursue to be more collaborative instead of competitive or both.
