In all World countries, universities are the organizations that will make a mark in the 21st century. Therefore, if we try to understand the 21st century with the notions of the 20th century, we fall into a big mistake. While the 20th century is a century expressed by the concept of "change," the 21st century is a century that should be expressed with the concepts of "Development" and "Transformation." That is why our task is to prepare our universities for Development and Transformation. Our universities have to adopt an appropriate management approach in order to reach this aim.
