In Pakistan, the establishment of new universities has been on the rise for the past two decades. However, their performance has concurrently declined or remained stagnant, as evident in global rankings due to various factors.

Utilising the Resource-Based View (RBV) theory and a quantitative survey methodology, this study thoroughly examines public and private universities in Pakistan. In this research, the unit of analysis is the institutions, with university administrators as the respondents.
