“…In general, academics value accreditation as a moderately positive process, while managers evaluate it as very positive (Cardoso et al, 2013;Stensaker, Langfeldt, Harvey, Huisman, & Westerheijden, 2011). To this end, Larrauri et al (2012) reviewed 22 studies about quality management perceptions among academics and managers from nine countries, four of these having Spanish as official language, i.e., Argentina, Chile, Mexico, and Spain. They found that opinions EDUCATION.…”

“…We have reviewed the several English-language questionnaires to assess perceptions toward quality management and accreditation that have been developed over the past 40 years (Kleijnen et al, 2011;Larrauri et al, 2012). The Higher Education Survey, used by the New England Association of Schools & Colleges (NEASC, 2006), has 25 items that assess perceived impact of accreditation processes inside an institution.…”

“…The need to clarify the effects of quality systems on educational institutions, in terms of empirical evidence of perceptions and attitudes about accreditation is increasingly relevant (Cardoso, Rosa, & Santos, 2013;Cardoso, Rosa, & Stensaker, 2015). The study of opinions and attitudes of academics regarding quality assurance/ management in university education has gradually gained recognition as a field of research in itself (Larrauri, Espinosa, Rosario Muñoz, & Lechosa, 2012), and has experienced significant development during recent decades in countries like the United Kingdom, US (Larrauri et al, 2012), Portugal (Cardoso, 2009;Cardoso et al, 2013;Cardoso et al, 2015;Cardoso, Rosa, & Videira, 2018) and Chile (IPSOS, 2010b;Lemaitre, Maturana, Zenteno, & Alvarado, 2012;Zapata & Torre, 2012).…”

Las políticas de mejoramiento de la calidad ocupan un lugar central en la educación superior y representan requisitos importantes para las instituciones educativas en una economía globalizada, en tanto que la legitimidad de los procesos relacionados con la calidad se ve reforzada por la participación de la comunidad académica. En consecuencia, el propósito de este estudio es desarrollar y validar una escala en castellano destinada a evaluar las percepciones sobre el proceso de acreditación y la gestión de la calidad en las Instituciones de Educación Superior. En base a hallazgos anteriores, y utilizando un diseño transversal en un solo momento en el tiempo, se encuestaron 339 académicos en cuatro ciudades académicas importantes de Chile. Utilizando el modelado de ecuaciones estructurales, se encontraron dos soluciones con índices de ajuste adecuados: una solución de cuatro factores que incluye Relevancia institucional de la Acreditación, Objetividad de la evaluación de acreditación, Relevancia de la Unidad de Calidad Interna para la acreditación, Valor de la acreditación para el sistema educativo, como principales constructos, y una solución de seis factores, que incluyó dos constructos adicionales: el Valor de la gestión continua de la Calidad y el Valor de la participación de los Estudiantes.El cuestionario desarrollado en nuestra investigación, permite a las instituciones de educación superior evaluar y cuantificar objetivamente los beneficios de la gestión de la calidad y la acreditación. Sus resultados son particularmente pertinentes para países con el castellano como lengua oficial considerando la importancia de la internacionalización de la educación superior.

“…Therefore, it will not depend exclusively on the export of raw materials such as oil, copper, bananas, flowers; but, on the contrary, A country should evaluate undergraduate and postgraduate projects that take on the challenge of being proactive in the fields of medicine-health, agriculture, wearable technology, education, food, software development, as considered by [7,8]. In this way, it generates value-added products, which may involve the evaluation of those undergraduate and postgraduate programs that have fulfilled their mission and should be taken out of the citizen context, affirms [9].…”

Nowadays, many universities are employing metrics that are used by other countries as the focus moves towards academic management. A shared vision and collaboration is required to identify success cases. Leaders at senior and middle management need to be guided by a road map to get a clear vision, a list of different strategies and successful outcomes. Consequently, this article proposes an academic management strategy to guarantee student-centred education. This strategy has an emphasis on hierarchical process in layers, in order to optimise and achieve efficiency, reliability and resilience. In this paper, the “what”, “ how” and “where” are taken into account in order to respond to academic and administrative adjustments which are necessary to reduce the risk of investment in training and formation of human capital, which warns about the need to acquire knowledge, especially from countries with scientific expertise. It is also shown the indicators that motivate the effort based on the merit that human capital produces. A methodology of flipped learning or blended learning is applied to presume a human capital that is able to break down barriers, such as: English as a universal language. A bibliometric analysis has been based over 2000 scientific articles from the Web of Science and Scopus databases. So It was possible to identify countries, universities and researchers specifically for each area of knowledge based on the results of this analysis. Besides, university careers can even be validated according to the development and scientific interest that is presented by the bibliometric analysis, which could be compared with studies based on economics and wealth from sources such as Forbes.

This research presents an application of a mixed narrative review, including grey literature, to broaden knowledge about the value of educational management information systems (EMIS) for accountability in higher education institutions (HEIs). The review was focused in understanding the relationships among quality management (QM), EMIS use and accountability. Analyzing 39 documents produced between 1990 and 2018, we confirm the tight QM–EMIS use–accountability relationship. A weak link between QM and EMIS use was found, resulting in a low accountability level, nevertheless e-maturity successfully describes the link between QM and EMIS use and legitimizes the HEIs in the society. Finally, the value of mixed narrative reviews, including gray literature, is demonstrated in the fields of management information systems and higher education.
