Summary/Abstract: The article seeks to answer the question of what lessons can be drawn from the success factors of knowledge-intensive organisations in the competitive sector in the context of changes of the Hungarian universities. It highlights good practices that can be successfully applied in universities. It draws attention to four success factors that have received much attention in the literature: knowledge-friendly organisational culture, trust, a pro-innovation mindset and a transformational leadership style. In the light of these success factors, the analysis points to some of the management and organisational risks that universities face in the process of change. The novelty of the research is demonstrated by the fact that this approach is unprecedented in the university literature.
