Purpose-The purpose of this research was to assess the role of organizational innovation in sustainable competitive advantage of universities in Kenya. Specifically, the study examined the role of product innovation, administration innovation, and process innovation in sustainable competitive advantage of universities in Kenya. Design/methodology/approach-The paper adopted a cross-sectional survey design to generate quantitative data to test the research hypotheses. Stratified random sampling technique was used to select a sample of 57 universities out of a target population of 67 universities accredited to undertake university education in Kenya. Primary data was collected by use of self administered questionnaires which were distributed through drop and pick method to a total sample size of 285 academic leaders selected by purposive sampling. A total of 215 complete responses were used for analyses. Data analysis was by descriptive statistics and inferential statistics using the Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 24. Simple and multiple regression analyses were used for hypotheses testing. Findings-This research provides empirical evidence on the links between organizational innovation and sustainable competitive advantage. Results revealed that organizational innovation, product innovation, administration innovation, and process innovation play significant role in sustainable competitive advantage of universities in Kenya. The research concluded that organizational innovation forms the basis for building sustainable competitive advantage. Research limitations/implications-This research has some important limitations that need to be taken into consideration. The study used a cross-sectional survey design with only quantitative measures which can be improved upon by longitudinal studies with mixed quantitative and quantitative measures. Practical implications-The research has significantly attempted to expand extant literature in strategic management, organizational innovation and sustainable competitive advantage by making several significant contributions.

“…At the core of this approach is the recognition that the various stakeholders of an institution might value different outcomes, and therefore, diverse views must be considered in defining relevant IE criteria (Balduck & Buelens, 2008). As Ashraf and Kadir (2012) appropriately argue, the stakeholder approach to effectiveness integrates the concept of social responsibility and might be readily attractive for application in HE environments where effectiveness often has to be adjudged through the eyes of multiple constituents, both internal and external to the institution.…”

“…A paradox exists in the role of students as stakeholders in education. While many argue that educational institutions exist primarily to serve the interests of students (Ashraf & Kadir, 2012;Bitzer, 2003;Ronco & Brown, 2000), evidence of the vulnerability of students in the power relationship with regard to other primary stakeholders within HEIs persists (Glasser & Powers, 2011;Seale, Gibson, Haynes, & Potter, 2015).…”

Orientation: This study outlines institutional effectiveness (IE) in higher education (HE) and interrogates its underlying elements from a student perspective. Following a review of contemporary perspectives on student educational outcomes, the study identifies and explores the importance of four pertinent indicators of IE in the context of a South African (SA) higher education institution (HEI). Research purpose: This study aimed to explore the structural validity and reliability of the Student Educational Outcomes Effectiveness Questionnaire (SEEQ), administered to students at an SA HEI, collecting data on their perceptions of IE. Motivation for the study: Institutional effectiveness is a contested concept in HE and several approaches to define it, using various sets of underpinning elements, can be found. The conceptualisation and measuring of IE within the SA HE sector is a hugely neglected area of research. This study therefore attempted to delineate and to gauge IE, utilising the perceptions and preferences of students at an SA HEI. Research design, approach and method: Data for this study were collected using a self-selection sample (N = 807) of students from four schools at the selected HEI. Reliability and exploratory factor analyses were performed to explore the internal consistency and structural validity of the above-mentioned SEEQ. Main findings: The reliability of SEEQ is deemed to be acceptable and the validity of the four theoretical constructs (or dimensions) hypothesised in respect of IE from a student perspective were supported. Practical/managerial implications: Preliminary empirical evidence suggests that SEEQ could be employed in a cautious manner by HEIs (especially in SA), with a view to gauge IE, as well as to promoting the scholarship and management of institutional performance and student success. Contribution or value-add: This article presents a multidimensional approach to the depiction and measurement of IE from a student perspective. It makes a handy initial contribution to a grossly under-researched phenomenon in the SA HE sector.

“…The effectiveness of an organization, according to the strategic constituency model, mainly relies on the minimum satisfaction of all the strategic constituencies of an organization. The strategic constituency of an organization includes all the individuals linked with the organization in various capacities, for example, the investor community, suppliers and partners in the supply chain, employees, regulators, government, customers, and environment [20]. The strategic constituency model could apply to organizations where the relation between the stakeholders could not be quantified in a cost-benefit relationship, such as corporate social responsibility (CSR).…”

“…For example, for an organization in the manufacturing sector, increased production generates more profits for investors and management but also can cause an increase in waste and pollution generated from the manufacturing operations. In this type of conflicting scenario, organizational efficiency, according to this model, ensures the minimum satisfaction level of the opposing strategic constituencies [20].…”

Organization efficiency is a pivotal paradigm for an organization's profitability in short-term cycles and long-term sustainability as a responsible stakeholder of a society. Measurement of organizational efficiency primarily depends on tracking the performance of the organization based on key performance indicators established commonly and differently by sectors. Literature on measuring organizational efficiency is limited in quantity and qualitatively poor, specifically on organizations operating in the Middle East and the Arabian Gulf where specific culture and traditions take precedence. This paper brings about a comparative review on organizational efficiency models, measurements, and indicators based on international best practices and conduct a comparative analysis from the Qatari organizational context. The methodology involved in measuring and benchmarking organizational sustainability identify the "as is" state of organizational sustainability and efficiency in the organization. Identifying the best sustainability practices across peer organizations and equipping organizations with the appropriate tools and skills to implement the identified best practices to fill the efficiency gap is essential. Defining and benchmarking indicators with peer organizations help the management to understand the "as is" state of the organization and is the impetus for the advancement of short-and long-term sustainability goals. The key performance indicators and focal themes for air transport, electricity-public utility, oil and gas, retail banking, and steel manufacturing are compared and identified.
