Digital Transformation of Research Process at Higher Education Institutions

What research tells us about leadership styles, digital transformation and performance in state higher education?

“…The strong adherence to digital transformation in higher education (Rodríguez-Abitia and Bribiesca-Correa, 2021), including public HEIs (Chen et al. , 2019), as well as the positive relationship with these institutions' performance (Matkovic et al. , 2018), highlights the importance of identifying the main aspects of the digital transformation processes carried out in these institutions.…”

“…Digital transformation has also been associated with improved higher education performance, as this allows the automation of processes and stimulates innovation, through technology such as cloud computing, social networks, artificial intelligence and others, allowing employees to concentrate their efforts on other aspects, increasing satisfaction at work, cooperation and collaboration, and reducing the workload of administrative activities (Matkovic et al. , 2018).…”

“…However, the lack of a strategic plan, leadership and clear institutional orientation are institutional barriers to the use of technology in HEIs (Birch and Burnett, 2009). Strong leadership is necessary to stimulate belief in its effectiveness and commitment amongst collaborators (Bandura, 1997), in order to overcome the barriers to technology adoption (Birch and Burnett, 2009) and improve HEIs' performance (Matkovic et al. , 2018).…”

Dynamic Monitoring and Assessment for Digital Transformation in Higher Education

“…Dynamic monitoring and assessment that is expected to bridge the improvement in the development of digital transformation in a college [4]. architecture management could provide an essential contribution in structuring digitization efforts and that enterprise or knowledge portals could play a role in implementing the strategies investigate the dynamics of higher education funding and the ensuing impact on part-time teaching, staff to student ratios, staff development, research productivity, and hence the perceived quality, using a system dynamics simulation model [5]. The model developed is based on higher education literature in the developing world in general and particular they use the resulting model to review policies on funding and quality in higher education, and ultimately envisage that the model can easily be adapted to higher education in other environments [6].…”

Digital Maturity of Higher Education Institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina: Teachers’ Assessment

“…Thus, he points out that perceiving the digital transformation in the context of reshaping the student experience would include a series of changes (according to Clark, 2018), such as: attracting future students digitally using social media and text messages, allowing students to register on student information systems via mobile phones in the cloud, providing different online learning options so that students have enough different opportunities to choose key courses/courses in their academic careers, use technology to monitor student progress and performance and execute intervention protocols, establish partnerships with the industry due to digital badges and certifications which would improve the student's chances of achieving a successful career. Matković et al (2018) state that digital transformation in higher education aims to redefine educational services and products and renew operational processes using one of three approaches: first service transformation, first process transformation, combined, the simultaneous transformation of both services and processes. Sandkuhl et al (2017) point out that digital transformation in higher education aims to redefine educational services and redesign all business processes.…”
