Abstract

Enterprise risk management (ERM) has been the centre of focus for many private organizations especially financial institutions. Like their counterparts, non-profit organizations are not safe from risk exposures and it is more crucial when their funding originated from the public. There is little work done on the enterprise risk management factors in the public organizations and research is needed to find out whether these organizations are serious in managing their risk and do they have a formal structure and framework to handle that. therefore, this study intended to develop enterprise risk management model (ERMM) that can be used to improve MTUN universities performance. Also, data will be collected from academicians at Malaysian Technical University Network (MTUN) which bring together four technology-based universities in Malaysia (the University Malaysia Perlis (UNMAP), Technical University of Malaysia Malacca (UTEM), the University of Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM) and University of Malaysia Pahang (UMP). The outcome of the study will be encouraging, as it indicated that ERM factors of this study would have varying levels of influence on university performance. The contribution of the current study would be the improvement of the operations management (performance) and risk management practices by producing high quality publications, get good quality of international students, get high ranking and good reputation. It would assist top management in make the right decision that lead to improve the university performance in control the risk in the university.
