As such, this study was conducted to understand why some PHEIs perform better than others; and whether the differences in performance are due to the choice of strategy.Finally, this study explores whether the organisational distinctive capabilities influence towards the institution choice of strategy. Based from a sample of 97 PHEIs, the study depicts that differentiation strategy was significantly link to performance with a spectrum of organisational capabilities influencing the institution’s choice of strategy.
