The purpose of this study is to examine the leadership and strategic management at various MARA educational institutions, namely MARA Professional Colleges (KPM)/MARA Colleges (KM), MARA Vocational Institution (IKM) and MARA Junior Science Colleges (MRSM).

MANOVA analysis shows significant differences in leadership between IKM and MRSM. There has been an interactive effects based on gender and education stream which showed that males from science stream are better leaders than males and females from art stream. Pearson correlation shows significant relationship between leadership and strategic management domains. Multiple regression analysis shows that leadership domains contribute towards strategic management and vice versa.

The collaboration of MARA education sector and entrepreneur sector is crucial in order tto produce graduates and knowledge workers who are competitive with entrepreneurship orientation.
