Institutional Initiatives

During the last decade, an intensification of evaluation at the Greek universities has been noted, encouraged by the state and institutional initiatives aiming to reform, modernize, and cultivate a culture of excellence. The progress that has been reported was facilitated by global developments that gradually strengthened the cultural and scientific foundations of university performance evaluation and set the foundations for continuous institutional improvement and transformation. However, the role of academic leadership is crucial if universities wish to fully embrace the concept of excellence in their operations and services not from an obligatory, but from an evolutionary perspective that would allow them to learn and improve. As Greek universities are currently in the process of quality accreditation, the chapter briefly presents the framework for quality accreditation in Greek universities and underlines the critical role of academic leadership for achieving accreditation and establishing a culture for sustainable excellence.

Grey Relational

In this article, the authors apply the big grey relational decision-making algorithm to improve performance evaluation effectiveness of the higher educational resources utilization. First, they discuss the performance evaluation indexes in higher education. Second, they propose the big data grey relational decision algorithm. Third, they establish the mathematical models of entropy weight and grey evaluation method. Finally, the authors carry out an evaluation simulation analysis on four cities as researching objects. The results show that the big data grey relational decision-making algorithm is an effective method for evaluating the higher educational resource utilization.

New Strategies

The 21st century is envisaged to be an era of the highest growth of the higher education (HE) system with multiple qualitative and developmental changes. Namely, public universities are faced with numerous challenges: reduction of public funding, public accountability, cost efficiency, digitization, marketization, social corporate responsibility, and competition. In order to cope with these changes, governments have been implementing new strategies with the aim to improve the economic efficiency of HE systems and achieve optimal utilization of public resources. Hence, there is a growing demand for the measurement, management and reporting of university performances. Based on the developed conceptual framework of integral performance measurement and evaluation system of universities in Serbia, this chapter provides a framework for intellectual capital (IC) reporting system according to the needs, characteristics, organization, and functions of the Serbian public universities.
