THE LITERATURE REVIEW ON KEY COMPONENTS OF HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTION MANAGEMENT AIMING FOR EXCELLENCE IN TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT AND INNOVATION

Abstract

This article presents a literature review on the key components of higher education institution management aimed at achieving excellence in technology development and innovation. The review synthesizes research from international databases published between 2007–2024, integrating essential concepts, theories, and indicators relevant to higher education institution management in this context. The findings identify eight primary components and their sub-components: (1) Process management – work system design, work process auditing, and work process development; (2) Staff focus – workforce planning, development, engagement, and environment; (3) Strategic planning – strategic formulation, plan formulation, implementation, and monitoring/evaluation; (4) Innovative leadership – innovative vision, creativity, innovation organization, change leadership, and risk management; (5) Student and stakeholder focused – needs/expectations and relationships; (6) Results focused – learning outcomes, process effectiveness/efficiency, stakeholder/staff/leadership results, and budgetary/financial/marketplace/strategy results; (7) Knowledge Management – identification, sharing, application, creation, utilization, and storage; and (8) Resource Management – in-kind and in-cash resources. These components provide a comprehensive framework for analyzing HEI management practices and serve as a foundation for future confirmatory factor analysis and empirical validation.
