UNIVERSITY RESEARCH EVALUATION AND FUNDING IN TERMS OF STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT

La competitividad garantiza pertinencia y sustentabilidad a una organización,debiéndose fundamentar en una planeación estratégicatipo mega que garantice el logro de su misión y visión; donde los indicadores constituyen los signos vitales, precisos y válidos sobre el desempeño,identificados en tres niveles de planeación tendiente a definir y lograr el éxito organizacional: Mega (Estratégico), Macro (Táctico) y Micro (Operacional); partiendo de analizar la contribución social y valor agregado, alineandodespués metas y resultados de la organización.En este contexto, con base en referentes para el área de evaluación eninvestigación universitaria y benchmarking1aplicado sobre universidades de excelencia, se propone una selección de indicadores, perfilados a fortalecer el desempeño y controldela función misional de investigación universitaria.Palabras clave: Planeación estratégica, evaluación institucional, instrumentos de medición, investigación institucional, gestión estratégica. Abstract Ensure competitiveness and sustainability relevance to an organization, whichever be based on a strategic planning mega type to ensure the achievement of its mission and vision; where indicators are vital, accurate and valid signs on performance, identified three levels of planning aimed at defining and achieving organizational success: Mega(Strategic), Macro(Tactical) and Micro (Operational); based on analyzing social contribution and value added, after aligning goals and outcomes of the organization. In this context, based on benchmarks for the assessment area in university research and applied benchmarking1 universities of excellence, we propose a selection of indicators, outlined to strengthen the performance and control of missionary function of university research.

SUMMARY We study the effects of public evaluation of university research on the pay structures of academic departments. A simple equilibrium model of university pay determination shows how the pay–performance relationship can be explained by the incentives inherent in the research evaluation process. We then analyse the pay–performance relationship using data on the salary of all UK university full professors, matched to the performance of their departments from the 2014 UK government evaluation of research, the Research Excellence Framework (REF). A cross sectional empirical analysis shows that both average pay level and pay inequality in a department are positively related to performance. It also shows that the pay–performance relationship is driven by a feature of the research evaluation that allows academics to transfer the affiliation of published research across universities. To assess the effect of the REF on pay structure, we take advantage of the time dimension of our data and of inherent uncertainty in the evaluation of the performance of academic departments generated by the rules of the exercise. Our results indicate that higher achieving departments benefit from increased subsequent hiring and higher professorial salaries with the salary benefits of REF performance concentrated among the highest paid professors.
