Abstract

This paper examines the strategic transformation of the Faculty of Accountancy at Universiti Teknologi MARA in enhancing its global visibility through integrated efforts in research, publication, and commercialisation. Aligned with UiTM’s aspiration to become a Globally Renowned University by 2025, FPN adopted a human capital-centric strategy that prioritizes academic leadership, a performance-driven culture, and structured institutional planning. Key initiatives—including Fit to Publish, Route to High Impact Publication, and the Research Grant Venture—have significantly improved research grant acquisition, indexed publication output, and commercialisation activities. Notably, FPN recorded a significant increase in research grant value and high-impact publications, and the successful commercialisation of a flagship CSR-fintech project. Furthermore, the faculty demonstrated academic leadership through an increase in research advisory roles and improved global rankings. These outcomes underscore the critical role of strategic human capital investment in elevating institutional reputation and improving MyRA performance. The paper concludes with policy implications and proposes a replicable model for higher education institutions aiming to enhance academic excellence and global competitiveness.
