There is little understanding of what the private higher education sector is and how it competes in the broader international higher education sector. Therefore, this research expects to develop a comprehensive model which best suits private higher education institutions need to enhance their performance.

A moderation analysis was employed to test the research model. However, the result indicated that organizational culture does not moderate the relationship between process of change, attitude toward change, dynamic managerial capabilities and organizational performance.
