Management of Performance in Higher Education Institutions: The Application of the Balanced Scorecard (BSC)

Abstract Universities play a crucial role in the development of any nation. The success of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) is the bedrock of the growth in human capacity required to support the growth of an economy. However, HEIs have been criticized for not playing their rightful role in national development. This has been partly attributed to not being able to manage their performance in view of the dynamic and turbulent environment they are operating in. Most HEIs have been caught up in the “business as usual” situation preferring doing things in the traditional ways as opposed to changing with the times. As a result their survival has been at risk especially from those HEIs who have adopted the “business un-usual” mentality. It is as a result of the challenges facing Kenyan HEIs that this paper proposes an adoption of the Balanced Scorecard as a management tool in HEIs. This paper provides a review of literature on the HEI environment globally and in Kenya, highlighting the challenges faced by Kenyan HEIs and proposes the use of the BSC to address the same. The BSC is a tool that helps mainstream the vision and mission of HEIs in their activities thus making the HEIs become strategy focused organizations. The BSC is a strategic planning and management system used to align business activities to the vision and strategy of the organization and to monitor organization performance against strategic goals. Finally, a sample BSC for HEIs in Kenya is proposed. It is felt that if HEIs focused on the issues proposed and measured their performance on the issues identified, their performance will be improved tremendously.

Enhancing the Approach to Forecasting the Dynamics of Socio-Economic Development during the COVID-19 Pandemic

This study reveals the approach to scaling socio-economic indicators to ensure economic security through regional budget expenditures to the GRP ratio example. Indicator choice is conditioned by the necessity to determine the degree of the federal center's rational influence on the regional strategic goals of sustainable development. The study aims to develop and test the system for assessing the dynamics of Russian socio-economic development based on the authors' interpretation of the scaling factor values. The main research method is scaling, which provides additional perspectives reflected by preserving proportions when changing the target parameters. The new method's effectiveness is confirmed by calculating the scaling factor. Its value interpretation gives a tool for assessing the effectiveness of the strategy development system and its economic security. The study's relevance is due to adaptation to global transformations based on the management system's capability to act under various crisis scenarios and make anti-crisis decisions important for the Russian economy. The findings improve the basis for implementing a sustainable strategic planning system and strengthening national security in the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings make it possible to predict the further evolution of the relationships between indicator groups in order to increase the role of per capita budgetary expenditures in GRP.

Integrating strategic planning and performance management in universities: a multiple case-study analysis

Over time, public universities have been involved in a process of modernisation based on a new concept of governance and managerial methods for increasing efficiency and effectiveness, as well as transparency and accountability. This paper aims to investigate the link between strategic planning systems and performance management systems in Italian universities by answering the following research question: to what extent do strategic planning tools contribute to performance management systems and, vice versa, to what extent can performance management systems help in the reshaping of universities’ strategies? To this end, we adopt a qualitative approach by conducting a multiple case-study analysis in the Italian context. Data are gathered through documentary analysis and interviews as primary research methods. Since scholars have mainly focused their attention on strategic planning or performance management in universities in isolation, the originality of this research lies in the attempt to connect these two important research fields, whose mutual interdependences are still to a certain extent unexplored. The implications of this study concern recommendations and suggestions for universities’ governance bodies to support their decision-making processes in the definition of their long-term objectives and performance management systems.

Развитие системы стратегического управления в условиях цифровизации

The introduction of digital technologies has a significant impact on the development of the entire public administration system and its most important element — the strategic planning system. Modern digital intelligent technologies and the work of government bodies based on the advanced achievements of management science and the unity of methodological approaches make it possible to raise the strategic planning system to a qualitatively new level. The key to success is the coordinated development of both the public administration system itself and the nationwide information and control systems. The authors, based on the analysis of the content of strategic management activities and the information used for this activity, formulated general approaches to the choice of information technologies to ensure the implementation of the stages of strategic management.

Стратегическое планирование и промышленная политика на современном этапе циклического мирохозяйственного развития

The article substantiates appropriateness of the network industrial policy to technological and socio-economic challenges of the modern era of the VI technological order (the second stage of the third technological megacycle). Given the fact that at the present stage technological and sectoral priorities of the national economic development can be formulated more clearly (compared to the previous stage of the technological megacycle), one of the key elements of industrial policy is strategic planning. It is concluded that in Russia since the 2000s there has been a process of establishing a national system of strategic planning, accelerated after the 2014 events. At the same time, its contradictory nature is shown, which determines the low effectiveness of the strategic documents implementation. This, in its turn, significantly reduces the probability that in the XXI century Russia would be able to become one of the world economic leaders.

Strategic development methodologies — a systematic approach

Strategic development is presented as an organic set of functional elements — development strategies at successive time intervals of development and their connections. Strategic planning of an organization is presented as a set of individual functional elements and their links, focused on achieving the goal. From an organizational point of view, strategic planning is presented as a time-structured project that develops over time and contains a strict sequence of elements (stages). Financial planning is an infrastructural element in the strategic planning system. The basic principles on which the methodology of the project presentation of the strategic development of the organization is based as a systematic way of economic thinking are formulated.

A Potential Framework for Allocating National Park Service Budgets

The US Department of Interior, including the National Park Service (NPS), has interest in developing a national fire budgeting process that reflects and promotes program (fuels and preparedness) efficiencies while being transparent, fair, stable, and predictable. A systematic approach should have the potential to operate at all scales (national, regional, and park). To accomplish these objectives, the research introduced a Budgeting Analysis that can be integrated into the STARFire (Strategic budgeting and planning system for wildland fire). The approach used is known as the “gradient method” reflecting the concept that budgets are allocated based on proportionate performance. Using the gradient method, budget increments were allocated to fuels and preparedness programs to improve return on investment (ROI). Three-dimensional performance surfaces were generated for each of the parks in the NPS’s Alaska Fire Management Zone and a gradient was fit to each surface. The individual park gradients were then used to allocate the zone budget increments to the parks and in turn, to the park’s fuels and preparedness programs. These allocations were then summed up to illustrate regional and park level allocations and allocations by program. The results show how a full range of budget increments can be allocated from the zone to each individual park and to each park’s program. The process and the allocations are repeatable and defensible while meeting the NPS budgeting criteria. They also address the concerns expressed by the US Government Accountability Office and reflect the objectives of the Cohesive Strategy. In the current study, we demonstrate a pragmatic example of implementing this method.

Foresight Research as а Strategic Planning Component

An important component of the state organizational and economic mechanism to promote high-tech production is the presence of a well-established system of strategic planning, which helps to determine the trajectory of long-term changes in technological competitiveness. Creating an effective policy framework in the field of science, technology and innovation (STI), its planning is an important element of a sustainable policy system. Roadmaps, on the basis of which development strategies and plans for achieving the set goals are developed, are a modern tool of strategic planning, in particular in the field of STI. From the point of view of economic and social management, the technological foresight, as an element of the roadmap, provides the basis for the decision-making process on science and innovation by identifying key long-term prospects for science, technology, innovation and long-term investment in STI. Foresight outlines future priorities for science and innovation, focusing on various aspects of projected change. Prediction is not the same as forecasting. While forecasting tries to predict a single «correct» version of the future, Forsythe uses several alternative plausible futures based on their usefulness to develop sound, forward-looking policies. The object of research of this work is the roadmap of science, technology, innovation (STI), as a tool for strategic planning in the field of STI; subject — foresight research. The main purpose of this work is to study the structure of the STI roadmap and the place of foresight research in it, to develop recommendations for integrating the results of the national technological foresight in the regulatory field of Ukraine. To achieve this goal, the article presents the stages of road map development, outlines the place of Foresight in it, presents a brief methodology and the results of foresight research conducted in Ukraine in 2021. These results represent new priority areas for the development of science, technology, innovation, which will be approved by the Law of Ukraine and the basis of plans for STI contributions to the Development Strategies of various sectors of Ukraine and for the Sustainable Development Goals.

A Review of Strategic Planning and Strategic Management

According to longitudinal study in Australia from 1982 to 1993, strategic planning systems played a significant part in the strategic management efforts of large industrial companies. But strategic planning has changed dramatically since the early 1980s as companies have made their planning systems more flexible, decentralized strategic planning divisions or business units, moved planning responsibility from the employees to managers and changed the function of corporate planning departments. In addition, companies tried to build their corporate culture by focusing more on client orientation and quality management in general. They have increased their global activity while concentrating on core business activities via acquisitions and disposals. The future is expected to increase total quality management and benchmarking, with companies concentrating more on appropriate training and recruitment procedures. As new generations rise to power, leadership and corporate cultures become more and more essential. Digital technologies and artificial intelligence in all its forms will have a major impact on the area of strategy.

Business Strategy and Corporate Environmental Performance: Evidence from High Environmental Risk Countries in the Asian Region

This study aims to provide empirical evidence of the effect of business strategy on the management and operational performance of the company's environment. This study examines business strategy as a company's fundamental element in corporate decision making and focuses on prospector and defender business strategies as strategies that are at opposite extremes of the continuum. The research sample is non-financial companies listed on the Indonesia, India and China Stock Exchanges. The final sample in this study consisted of 869 company observations and years, with the research period from 2015 to 2019. Data analysis was carried out by panel data regression using STATA 16 tools. We found that the company's business strategy had a significant effect on environmental management performance and performance. operational environment of the company. Overall, prospector and defender business strategies have different tendencies towards the level of environmental management performance and environmental operational performance. Companies with a prospector business strategy, even though they have a lower level of environmental management performance, are able to maintain their environmental externalities well. Meanwhile, a company with a defender business strategy managerially has a strategic planning system that has been stable but tends to limit involvement in environmental activities in real terms with cost considerations. This research can serve as an illustration for regulators to consider proactive environmental policies for companies. Keywords : business strategy, environmental management performance, environmental operational performance
