In the second step, after methodical screening, out of 70 articles, 29 articles were selected for reanalysis. Findings based on content analysis led to recognize a trilogy studies: studies consistent with the neo-liberal approach (55% Percent); studies unable to recognize approaches/ Confused (38% Percent); critical/tolerant studies (7% Percent). Based on the academic genealogy patterns, the re-analyesed studies were classified into two genealogies: research / sustainable university and guild / corporate / entrepreneur higher Education institute.
