Network and Data Transfer Security Management in Higher Educational Institutions

The article discusses the issues of automating the management of a higher educational institution and possible ways to solve them. The subject of research in this article is the regularities of higher educational institution management, which should be taken into account when building automated higher educational institution management systems. The purpose of the study is to consider the features of the laws governing the management of a higher educational institution and their consideration in the construction of automated control systems for a higher educational institution. As research methods, a systematic approach, analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, abstraction, generalization, and a method of modeling managerial situations were used. In the chord of the study, the following was found. There are two approaches to automating the management of higher education institutions: an approach to automating management based on standard solutions in the field of automation of management, and an approach based on individual solutions in the field of automating the management of higher education institutions. An analysis of these approaches shows that in order to improve the efficiency of managing higher education institutions, it is necessary to use a two-loop scheme of management automation. At the same time, a typical solution should be used as an external loop for automating the management of higher education institutions, while an individual solution in the field of automating the management of a higher education institution should be used as an internal loop for automating the management of higher education institutions. At the same time, in order to ensure the effectiveness of the interaction between the internal and external circuits of automation of the management of higher educational institutions, they must be harmonized with each other.

ABSTRACTThe last two decades have witnessed an increasing intensity of quality management in higher education institutions and quality discourses which were followed by debates about and attempts of evaluating the efficacy of quality management in the sector. Accordingly, the article presents a SWOT analysis of impact evaluation of quality management in higher education institutions. The analysis is based on a contemporary SWOT conceptualisation and on reflections of impact evaluation, ranging from theoretical models through case studies to practical experience in a European research project. The analysis reveals that certain weaknesses can be overcome (e.g. budget and process time restrictions) while others cannot (e.g. systematic limitations of methodologies). Similarly, certain threats can be tackled (e.g. proper implementation of methodologies) while others at most can only approximately be solved (e.g. attribution problem). The article concludes that a SWOT analysis may be a tool for bridging the gap between methodological challenges and the implementation of impact measurement in systematic quality management.

The article discusses the benefits of improving the independent work of students in higher education institutions to achieve quality results in the educational process, which defines the research topic. It is argued that improving the organization of independent work of learners will positively influence the effective management of higher education institutions. The theoretical basis of students' independent work as a form of organizing the educational process is systematized, the advantages of implementing didactic conditions for effective independent work of students are outlined, and levels of student independent activity are determined. The components characteristic of independent work, including motivational links, setting specific tasks, choosing methods of execution, execution, and control, are identified. The experience of European countries in organizing the independent work of learners is examined, which indicates a close connection between the educational process and the market, production, and possible areas of future student activity. The application of various forms of organizing students' independent work, depending on the specialty and educational programs offered by departments when developing discipline work programs, taking into account the needs of stakeholders and the labor market, is justified. The aim of the article is to analyze existing approaches to students' independent work and improve its organization for effective management of higher education institutions. Various scientific methods were used in the research and solution of the tasks, the main ones being systematization, comparison, analysis, questionnaires, and graphical analysis. As a result of the conducted study of the organization of independent work in higher education institutions, the positions of learners and teachers were determined, which generally have common views on the need to improve the identified problem. Specific steps to improve this form of the educational process were identified through the analysis of anonymous questionnaires of students and teachers. The scientific novelty lies in the connection between improving the organization of independent work of learners and effective management of higher education institutions, which allows asserting the improvement of the quality of educational services and the improvement of the educational process through the improvement of the independent work system. The practical significance of the study lies in the application of existing developments to improve the existing system of organizing students' independent work, aimed at training highly qualified specialists in various fields for the further development of society and the country.

The article explores the current aspects of creative management of HEI as an important factor in their sustainable development and increasing competitiveness in the context of globalization of the educational space. The essence of the concept of "creative management", its key principles and functions in the context of HEI activities are revealed. It is emphasized that modern challenges require management teams not only efficiency, but also the ability to innovative thinking, flexible response to changes and continuous improvement of management processes. It is noted that in the current conditions of modernization of management of higher education institutions, the implementation of structured, logically interconnected management models that are able to ensure the integrity, efficiency and flexibility of management decisions is of particular importance. Such models should not only meet modern challenges, but also provide for dynamic interaction between different levels of management. Special attention is paid to strategies for forming a positive image of a higher education institution as one of the main results and at the same time tools of creative management. It is proven that a positive image contributes to an increase in the level of trust from target audiences, attracting gifted students, highly qualified personnel, developing international cooperation and increasing the rating positions of the institution. The publication analyzes the main factors that influence the image of a higher education institution, in particular the quality of educational services, scientific activity, digital communication, social responsibility and innovative activity. A model of creative management is proposed, which is based on strategic planning, openness to new ideas, a team approach, digitalization of management processes and orientation to the needs of stakeholders. The importance of forming an innovative culture within a higher education institution is emphasized, which provides a long-term positive effect both for internal development and for the external perception of the institution. It is concluded that creative management is not only a modern approach to the administration of a higher education institution, but also a necessary condition for the formation of a positive image as a strategic resource. It is the combination of innovation, flexibility and value orientation that allows higher education institutions to effectively respond to the challenges of the time and strengthen their own competitive positions in the market of educational services.

Objective: Showing the shortcomings of operational risk management in universities that inhibit the achievement of strategic objectives and organizational goals is the central objective of this research. Method: To this end, a diagnosis of the current state of the associated variables was carried out in accounting and administration faculties in Mexico, Ecuador and Cuba. Results and Discussion: Among the main findings, it is highlighted that the most affected dimension is the Strategic orientation design of the organization for risk management, although in general, none of the dimensions evaluated presents a favorable behavior, which indicates the need to apply risk management tools with a strategic and integrated approach and a greater follow-up of prevention plans to achieve a better correspondence between planning and control. Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by providing a systematization of knowledge available in scientific literature on risk management in higher education institutions to subsequently verify the behavior of these variables in higher education institutions that operate in contexts as diverse and different as they belong to countries like Mexico, Ecuador and Cuba that respond to different socio-economic environments.

As China’s economy has experienced rapid growth, the economic landscape for higher education institutions’ financial systems has become increasingly intricate. Consequently, there has been a heightened demand for enhanced financial management in these institutions. Notably, in 2012, the country’s Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Education introduced a new financial system for higher education institutions, and in 2022, the Ministry of Finance publicly revised this system to further standardize financial practices within higher education institutions, align with financial management requirements, and foster the development of these institutions. This paper offers an extensive examination of the updated financial system for higher education institutions compared to the previous version, delving into aspects such as the financial management framework, professionalization criteria for financial directors, enhancements in managing the proceeds from technology and research achievements, and the incorporation of management accounting reports. Additionally, it provides a comprehensive analysis of the challenges faced by financial management in higher education institutions and outlines strategies for addressing these issues.

The teaching management of higher education institutions (HEIs) has traditionally focused on processing compliance with regulated curricular conditions, rather than normalizing the learning and knowledge developed, to be transferred to society. The motivation of knowledge management in HEIs should be aimed at strengthening knowledge preservation strategies. In recent decades, this model has been a growing interest on the part of academics and academic institutions at the international level. The main objective of this study is to analyze research trends on knowledge management in HEIs worldwide during the period 1980-2019. Bibliometric techniques were applied to a sample of 1931 scientific journal articles selected from the Scopus database. The study documented a rapidly growing knowledge base, mostly written by academics located in developed societies. This chapter provides a point of reference for future research on this topic, as well as revealing the intellectual structure of this interdisciplinary field.

Information Security Management in Higher Education Institutions in Compliance with the Organic Law for the Protection of Personal Data

PurposeThis study investigates internal control implementation contribution to quality management at higher education institutions (HEIs).Design/methodology/approachThis study employed a qualitative method by conducting semi-structured interviews. The research respondents (interviewees) consisted of internal auditors, HEI management members and accreditation assessors of Indonesian HEIs. A total of 15 respondents were successfully interviewed to collect the data; 12 were from different HEIs, and 3 were from the HEI accreditation board.FindingsThis study deduced that internal control implementation could contribute to HEI quality management and improvement if integrated with other control policies, such as internal quality assurance, performance measurement systems and performance-based budgeting. By doing so, internal control corroborates total quality management (TQM) implementation within HEIs since it promotes employee empowerment and supervision, reduces budget wastage, increases the achievement of budget targets on output and outcome of programs and activities, enhances strategic and integrated system practices, provides reliable information for better decision-making, and promotes effective communication and coordination and good leadership culture.Practical implicationsThe current study presents beneficial suggestions for HEI management on how internal control contributes to quality management at HEIs.Originality/valueAs suggested by Chalmers et al. (2019), most studies related to internal control were conducted in profit-oriented organisation settings, i.e. companies, and focused on their impact on economic aspects, such as profitability, cost efficiency and fraud mitigation. Meanwhile, internal control-related studies in the context of non-profit-oriented organisations, such as HEIs, and their role in non-economic aspects, in this case, the quality management in HEIs, is still lacking.
