“…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 The existing management system and infrastructure in universities are often outdated and unable to ensure their competitive and adequate functioning.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.

“…Previous studies on participation in higher education have varied widely. For example, Silva et al (2018) focused on the perspective of the faculty in terms of the impact of higher education expansion and how it was driving the diversification of higher education institutes. Gannon et al (2018) tackled the issue of under-represented groups' professional successes and personal lives in higher education participation.…”

PurposeThis study aims to explore the higher education expansion phenomenon and to what extent that expansion could reshape the pattern of gender.Design/methodology/approachWe selected Taiwan's higher education as a research target. First, we describe the gender diversity patterns in the humanity, social science and STEM programs according to Trow's definition. Second, we identify discrepancies in gender in the major programs according to different indices. Becker’s D, Blau index, GPI, trend analysis and multiple comparisons were used to transform the comparison series data.FindingsFirst, to assess system-wide gender diversity, it was shown that in the elite stage, the D is more sensitive than the Blau index in plotting trends. Second, neither the D nor the Blau index showed sensitivity in humanity and social science programs in the post-mass stage. Third, the GPI more accurately detects differences in gender patterns in the mass and universal stages.Practical implicationsThis study illuminates gender diversity patterns with indices transformation in higher education. Considering higher education expansion is a global phenomenon, the fitted indices can be used to detect gender diversity issues in wider higher education settings.Originality/valueThis study provides an example for addressing the issue using different indices to identify previous and future trends in the higher education system. The study suggests alternative interpretations for gender diversity in various programs that will assist in modifying related gender policies in higher education.
