Purpose This paper aims to analyze the sustainability approach within higher education institutions. Universities, as institutions of knowledge, play an important and strategic role in maximizing social and economic benefits in a hands-on way. However, some studies on sustainable development and HEIs reveal a distancing between students and the application of sustainable initiatives in universities. This fact differs from the premises of the Talloires Declaration, which points to students as a community and as global leaders and ambassadors for sustainability. Design/methodology/approach This paper mapped the approaches, present in the literature, used to develop sustainable campuses and in particular the apparent dichotomy between the changes indicated as top-down or bottom-up in HEIs. To that end, scientific articles focused on sustainable actions in HEIs were analyzed to identify implementation approaches for sustainable development and student involvement in the process. Findings Results have shown that sustainability promotion models in universities generally occur in a top-down manner, where students are receptors and not sources of development for sustainable policies in universities. Thus, the authors highlight the importance of students becoming central players in sustainable initiatives. Originality/value The article becomes original when it identifies the dichotomy between top-down and bottom-up approaches. It does so through multidimensional scaling and exploratory factorial analysis in scientific articles on the topic Sustainability Funding in Higher Education. These findings show that, unlike what is discussed in the literature, sustainability promotion in universities generally occurs in a top-down manner, where students are receptors and not active agents in promoting sustainability. In response to this, the authors discussed the importance of the bottom-up approach, where they are key players.
Este artigo tem como objetivo verificar a implantação do SkandiaNavigator como uma ferramenta de gestão em um programa de cursoslatu sensude ensino a distância como fator avaliativo da capacidade absortiva. O SkandiaNavigator se baseia no conceito de capital intelectual para articular recursos, capacidades e competências organizacionais, assim foi utilizado para mensurar a capacidade absortiva da IES no tocante ao curso lato sensu Ead.O SkandiaNavigator consiste em trinta indicadores divididos em sete áreas, sendo o foco financeiro referente aos resultados ocorridos e os focos nos clientes, nos recursos humanos e nos processos voltados ao que ocorre no momento na empresa. Os focos restantessão referentes à capacidade de renovação e de desenvolvimento da organização que permitiriam vislumbrar o futuro da empresa.Utilizou-se drivers de mudança institucional no SkandiaNavigator como forma de mensurar a capacidade absortiva da IES no tocante ao latu sensu de ensino a distância. Ao mensurar nas áreas: financeiras; cliente; processos internos; renovação e desenvolvimento; humanos;capital intelectual; e eficiência do capital intelectual, procurou-se verificar a capacidade da IES para aprender e implementar de novos conhecimentos. Como resultado da pesquisa se considera adequado o uso do SkandiaNavigator é uma ferramenta que pode auxiliar na mensuração da capacidade absortiva da instituição.

SELF-ASSESSMENT AND INSTITUTIONAL CHANGE DRIVERS BASED ON ABSORPTIVE CAPACITY ABSTRACTThis article aims to verify the implementation of SkandiaNavigator as a management tool in a program of courses Ead as evaluative factor of absorptive capacity. The Skandia Navigator is based on the concept of intellectual capital to coordinate resources, skills and organizational skills, and was used to measure the absorptive capacity of the HEIs regarding the broad sense course Ead. O Skandia Navigator consists of thirty indicators divided into seven areas, and the financial focus on the results occurred and the focus on customers, human resources and processes geared to what happens at the moment in the company. The remaining spots are for the renewal of capacity and development of the organization that would allow a glimpse of the future of the company. We used institutional change drivers in Skandia Navigator as a way to measure the absorptive capacity of the HEIs regarding the broad sense of distance learning. In measuring areas: financial; client; internal processes; renewal and development; human, intellectual capital; and efficiency of intellectual capital, sought to verify the ability of HEI to learn and implement new knowledge. As a result of the research is considered appropriate to use the Skandia Navigator is a tool that can assist in measuring the absorptive capacity of the institution.Keywords: Skandia Navigator; Absorptive Capacity; Drivers.
