Abstract: Abstract This chapter defines the methods of data collection and explains the motives for performing the university surveys and selection of a case study, the selection of the sample and composition and operation of the survey. We explain that the data from the university survey provides us with the required information, which is particularly useful for presenting a public-private comparative analysis to identify the role of use of ICT to enhance connection and transformation in Sudanese universities from the public-private perspectives. One advantage of the university survey is that it examines the problem after integrating the three different perspectives of academic teaching staff, support staff and students. Another advantage is that, due to their close association to educational and training institutions, the approached academic teaching staff, support staff and students provided some useful information, particularly from both the analytical and policy perspectives. Moreover, the data evaluates the role of use of ICT to enhance connection and transformation in Sudanese universities and policies for the enhancement of the role of ICT to improve creation, production and transfer of knowledge in Sudanese universities. The coverage of the university survey has the advantage of enabling us to compare between universities according to two criteria, i.e. the nature of the institutions (public-private) and the fields of specialisations (arts and humanities—science and engineering).
