“…university itself can clearly say: what is the digital future going to be and what the competitive infrastructure should be like? In this regard, the mobilization of a significant number of resources is required (Bruckmann, et al, 2018;Nguyen et al, 2019;Poleman et al, 2019;Silva et al, 2018). The university's largest stakeholders, cultural values including formal and informal rules of conduct, traditions, brand, reputation, investments and translation, should become integral parts of the infrastructure logic.…”

Digitalization and transition to a new technological structure bring humanity to another level of development. The changing technological structures, industry and society progress, enhance the importance of improving the university development model. The existing management system and infrastructure in universities are often outdated and unable to ensure their competitive and adequate functioning. Hence, the need to improve the processes of using the university infrastructure through digital technology. The composition and range of the resources should also be reviewed and supplemented with new components.The purpose of this work is to reveal the principles and requirements for improving the university infrastructure using digital technology.The methodology is based on modeling the university management system, with the concept of infrastructure logic as a core, meant to include new elements in the university management infrastructure: university stakeholders, cultural values, investments and translation.The management model transformation implies a transition from structural to infrastructural approach, from infrastructure management to managing the infrastructure logic. The digital network platform incorporating the information on all the infrastructure facilities, their status, will provide effective user access management to each university resource.The recommendations formulated to improve the university infrastructure using digital technology will make higher education more effective.

“…There are also recent attempts to understand the hybridity in the context of professional work (Noordegraaf 2015) and management positions in professional work (Mcgivern et al 2015;Hendrikx and van Gestel 2017).

The academic profession is challenged by the changing environment. Global trends, such as managerialism and new public management, have been influencing all public organizations, including universities. The academic profession is dynamic by its nature; it reflects any changes in its environment. However, the academic profession is also characterized by continuity. In this study, we describe the current changes and continuities of the academic profession in Finland, as perceived by top and middle managers employed in Finnish Universities. We found out that logics and values by organizational professionalism are emphasized; however, occupational professionalism is also deeply rooted in the practices of Finnish universities. Additionally, we found out that changes are often associated with managerial values, such as control and evaluation, and in contrast, the continuities of academic work are commonly related to professorial authority and academic identity. These two aspects of the profession and organization are not opposite, they occur simultaneously; however, there are tensions between them. In this article, we would like to emphasize that change of the academic profession is a hybrid, there exists both, changes and continuities in the logics and values related to the profession and the organization.

“…The significance of growing responsibility, endless high-tech enhancements, adjustments in working life and increasing accountability require leaders of higher education to respond novel. The higher education institutions during the past three decades have been changing and moving away from the traditional bureaucratic archetype towards a more managerial one (Bruckmann & Carvalho 2018). Universities through education, research, and community involvement play a central role in addressing global environmental challenges and have both multiple and multiplier effects on society (Ralph & Stubbs 2014).…”

“…It is an old but ongoing debate, the leadership style debate, which matters the most, put roughly, who leads or where and how to lead (Breakwell &Tytherleigh 2010). The higher education institutions during the past three decades have been changing and moving away from the traditional bureaucratic archetype towards a more managerial one (Bruckmann & Carvalho 2018). Higher education is no longer a luxury: it is essential to national social and economic development.…”
