MANAGEMENT MODEL FOR HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS BASED ON RANKING OF UNIVERSITIES

Carla França Medeiros, Adalena Kennedy Vieira, Raimundo Kennedy Vieira

Abstract


The demands and pressures of the market are felt in higher education, necessitating continuous improvement in every aspect. A desirable approach would be implementing a management model of excellence in education, particularly emphasizing evaluation, and service enhancements. Such assessments can influence the positioning of universities in the market and enable them to identify their strengths and weaknesses. This study proposes a conceptual model of excellence management for HEIs (Higher Education Institutions), based on analysing university rankings. The model will be developed by identifying convergent factors of the EFQM and BCPE Management Models, verifying convergence factors among the leading five international rankings, and presenting the procedures for using Rankings as Performance Indicators. This research has a bibliographic character. As a result of this research, it was possible to propose a management model of excellence in which university rankings are used as performance indicators. The proposed model is flexible and can be utilized by different HEIs.
