The academic institution quality and managerial capability valuation of university management

Abstract

International and national ratings of university institutions are now beginning to play a crucial role in the assessment and valuation of the quality of education and its research facilities. The authors give respect to the quality of universities and the quality of their management, and suggest different approaches to the selection of senior managers of universities in different parts of the world. The question arose of how managers are needed today and what general competences they have in general, relating to science, with an emphasis on their personal characteristics. Detailed discussions have taken place regarding the capability valuation of managers – based on their knowledge IQ, practical skills AQ and social intelligence SQ. They highlight their importance and also why social intelligence comes to the fore. Based on their knowledge to look inside the academic community, they criticize the current methods of selecting university managers which are based on the necessary changes regarding this. They point to somewhere partial or to a strong academic isolated area from the pragmatic business environment - this is especially so when as an opinion of the conservative view of "old colleagues" that are in managerial positions and are more plentiful in numbers than younger academics and authors who have re-considered the need to change their current thinking and attitudes. This article also ensures that specialized centres make a good choice, or if there are any other ways of finding quality managers in the university environment. Ways and means for selecting officials in the academic environment and what can be considered as a good choice or chosen strategy for selection are dealt with here.
