Research Guide
What is Digital Transformation University Management?
Digital Transformation University Management refers to the adoption of ERP systems, data analytics, and AI in higher education institutions to enhance administrative efficiency and strategic planning.
This subtopic examines how universities implement digital technologies amid Industry 4.0 pressures (Castro Benavides et al., 2020, 583 citations). Key areas include student data management and technology-driven satisfaction (Pandita and Kiran, 2023, 86 citations). Over 10 papers from 2016-2023 analyze ROI and digital competencies in university administration.
Why It Matters
Universities use digital tools like education databases for data-driven management, addressing enrollment and funding issues (Kustitskaya et al., 2023). ERP and analytics improve service quality and economic outcomes (Al-Ababneh and Alrhaimi, 2020; Stankić et al., 2018). Castro Benavides et al. (2020) systematic review shows 583 citations linking transformation to institutional survival. Pandita and Kiran (2023) demonstrate technology interfaces boost sustainable student satisfaction amid enrollment shifts.
Key Research Challenges
Digital Competency Gaps
Staff and economists lack digital intelligence for transformation (Larionov et al., 2021; Glazunova et al., 2021). Training lags behind technology adoption in HEIs (Castro Benavides et al., 2020). Universities struggle to upskill for data analytics and AI administration.
ROI Measurement Barriers
Assessing returns on digital infrastructure investments remains unclear (Kustitskaya et al., 2023). Funding pressures complicate ERP implementation without proven metrics. Pandita and Kiran (2023) highlight engagement metrics but lack standardized ROI frameworks.
Integration with Legacy Systems
Blending new digital tools with traditional management faces technical debt (Ravichandran et al., 2016). DevOps practices are underused in education (Qolamani and Mohammed, 2023). Sadovaya et al. (2019) note social reality shifts exacerbate compatibility issues.
