This study aimed to explore the attitudes of students of a higher education institution towards infopreneurship. The study emanated from observations that the widespread use of information technologies has created a new sector in the labor market – infopreneurship. The study adopted the case study research design based on focus group discussions to establish the students’ attitudes towards infopreneurship. The participants for the focus groups were students of the Information Science department at the University of Technology, Cape Town. Data collection during the focus group discussions was based on unstructured interviews. Quantitative data analysis was applied based on data reduction from codes to categories. An enterprising attitude (26.4% code frequency) dominated the positive responses while negative attitudes were mainly reflected by a critical attitude (20.8% code frequency) towards infopreneurship. While it appeared that positive attitudes were more prevalent than negative attitudes, there were notable observations that the respondents were critical or neutral towards the essence of infopreneurship in the South African context. It was found that the belief that infopreneurship is not a viable form of employment was still prevalent. Some respondents believed that employment means working for someone. They felt that there is greater respect in being employed than engaging in infopreneurship. Some respondents, however, appear to have stronger entrepreneurial orientations and felt that infopreneurship offers the best employment opportunities. The study recommends changes in higher education curricula and the creation of a stimulating environment for infopreneurship.

This article explores the perceptions a private Higher Education Institution’s employees have of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).

A brief analysis of secondary unsolicited data was conducted to further explore the organisation’s role in CSR. It was found that employees of the organisation are not positively predisposed to CSR and that many of them lack an understanding of the concept.

A seleção de portfólio de projetos vem sendo estudada em diferentes contextos e a partir de diferentes abordagens. Dentre as abordagens, verifica-se o uso de modelos multicritério de apoio à decisão (MCDA) e, dentre estes, a abordagem construtivista (MCDA-C), utilizada como estratégia para facilitar a compreensão do problema quando este diz respeito a situações complexas. Assim, neste artigo, o MCDA-C foi utilizado como ponto de partida para elaborar um mecanismo de apoio à tomada de decisão relacionada à seleção de projetos em uma instituição federal ensino superior (IFES), com base em focus group envolvendo, dentre outros, o reitor e seus assessores. Dentre os resultados está a identificação de aspectos gerais que podem vir a ser tratados de maneira diferentes no contexto da seleção do portfólio de projetos de uma organização. Por fim, destaca-se a complexidade e diversidade de assuntos relacionados à construção de um modelo com abrangência institucional no âmbito de uma instituição de ensino superior.

The implementation of Performance Management (PM) in an institution can come with barriers that affect its success rate. The aim of the study was to assess the perceptions and attitudes of staff towards the implementation of PM at a higher education institution. The research was undertaken at a higher education institution (HEI) in South Africa where employee performance suffered as a result of PM implementation challenges within the institution. The research study was exploratory and employed mixed methods, that is; quantitative and qualitative research methods. A survey questionnaire was administered to groups of university employees drawn through stratified random sampling. The strata groups were academics, administrators, and senior executive managers. Hundred questionnaires were distributed with eighty-three questionnaires returned. In qualitative research, a heterogeneous focus group interview was scheduled which involved twelve people. Results from the questionnaires indicated that respondents perceived PM process as lacking transparency, unaligned to employee rewards and development lacks objectivity from appraisers and poorly implemented due to lack of training for its users. Key themes that emerged from the focus group interviews revealed that the majority of participants perceived PM as a management punitive tool that is not developmental in orientation, a political tool that lacks objectivity and benefits only the employer. Furthermore, they articulated that it was not aligned with their rewards and development. It was therefore recommended that; proper design and implementation of the PM system is vital, fairness, training of all parties involved, moderation of results and providing effective feedback should be employed in PM, effective communication, transparency, consultation and shared benefits for all participants are key to ensuring a broadly supported PM within the institution.

The development of the personal potential of academic staff and higher education applicants as an integrated criterion for the effectiveness and efficiency of university management is substantiated in the article. To give ground to his position, the author proceeded from determination of the effectiveness and efficiency of university activities. The effectiveness of university activities is defined as the degree of compliance with the result secured by the goal it pursued. The efficiency of university activities is a qualitative indicator that determines the degree of use of resources (human, material, financial, etc.) in achieving a particular result. Methodological incorrectness of determination of efficiency of university activities by formal criteria is emphasized. In particular, the diploma of higher education regardless of the level of competence and development of the personal potential of its owner. The impossibility of correct differentiation in the value expression of the results of educational and scientific activities of the university is proved. The necessity of defining and substantiating alternative criteria that would orient the management to ensuring the effective and efficient operation of the higher education institution is kept current. In case of incorrect appeal to quantitative criteria, it is suggested for the management to focus on evaluation of criteria in determining the results of university activities. Assessment scales of such relevance are recommended. They should guide the management of a higher education institution to improve the activities. At the same time, the improvement of results should be achieved not at any cost of resources, but at the minimum permissible without deteriorating their quality. It is noted that only with the use of such methodological approach the efficiency of the university's activity as a guarantee of its competitiveness can increase. The competitiveness of the university is proposed to be considered as an integrated indicator of corporate competence of all participants of its activities, including managers, academic staff and applicants for higher education. It is emphasized that unlike other resources that are inevitably spent, human resources in the process of their use are self-renewing and developing. Self-renewal and the development of human resources or human capital are better the more developed the personal potential of university participants is. In addition, the level of development of the personal potential of higher education applicants is the current and final result of the university's educational activities. The more advanced personal potential the university graduates have, the more productive they will be in their careers, therefore, more expensive in terms of value and vice versa. After all, the more productive persons with higher education, the more productive the society in which they work is and the more prosperous life in such a society is. In its turn, the development of the personal potential of higher education applicants in the learning process depends directly on the level of personal capacity development of the academic staff with whom they interact. Not only the effectiveness of educational but also scientific activities depends on the personal potential of academic staff.
