Troika!: The Remarkable Ascent of a Great Global University, Nanyang Technological University Singapore, 2003–2017
This book provides a personal history of Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, and its remarkable rise, starting from 2003, into the ranks of the top universities in the world as a leading Asian university and the youngest (less than 50 years old) to have achieved this status. It describes the role of the leadership team of Su Guaning, Haresh Shah, and Bertil Andersson, which together formed the 'Troika'. It provides a record of NTU's growth and how it came about through a root and branch reform of the university executed, with the support of the Singapore Government and the NTU Board of Trustees, by the Troika, to become such a prominent academic institution.
