Copyright © 2015 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd. Research performance is a critical measure of management in education. Faculties in developing economies are left bewildered and pressured how to enhance research output. Humanities and social sciences particularly suffer between quantitative bibliographic data versus research quality. An icebreaking model using a case study of humanities faculty in Thailand illustrates how to enhance collaboration among faculty members who are knowledge workers and management. The model captures knowledge to identify six discontinuities between sample groups. By focusing on the managerial implications of six key barriers, discussion illustrates how the model enhances collaboration, generates shared vision and improves managerial strategies in education.
