“…Strategic planning has long been considered a cornerstone of effective educational management. A study by Smith and Johnson (2019) delves into the role of strategic planning in navigating the complexities of higher education. They argue that institutions adopting robust strategic plans are better positioned to respond to shifting global trends, economic challenges, and the demands of an increasingly interconnected academic environment.…”

Educational management plays a pivotal role in shaping the landscape of higher education on a global scale. As the demand for quality education grows, institutions worldwide face the challenge of adapting to dynamic socio-economic environments while meeting diverse cultural and technological expectations. This abstract explores the multifaceted impact of educational management on higher education through an international lens. Effective educational management encompasses strategic planning, resource allocation, curriculum development, and faculty engagement. In the international context, diverse cultural backgrounds and educational systems contribute to the complexity of management strategies. Globalization has intensified the need for cross-cultural competence in educational leaders, fostering collaboration and exchange of best practices. Furthermore, the advent of digital technologies has revolutionized educational management, enabling innovative teaching methodologies, data-driven decision-making, and adaptive learning platforms. The integration of technology in higher education management facilitates streamlined processes, enhances communication, and expands access to education on a global scale. However, it also presents challenges related to cybersecurity, digital literacy, and ethical considerations. The impact of educational management extends beyond institutional boundaries to influence national and international education policies. Collaborative efforts among countries enhance academic mobility, research collaboration, and the standardization of academic credentials. Effective management fosters a conducive environment for internationalization, attracting diverse students and faculty, and promoting the exchange of knowledge and ideas. In conclusion, the impact of educational management on higher education is profound and dynamic, especially in the context of globalization and technological advancements. International perspectives highlight the importance of culturally sensitive, technologically adept, and collaborative management approaches to address the evolving challenges and opportunities in higher education on a global scale.

“…At the local level, individual institutions depend upon the national plan to develop strategies. Smith and Nguyen (2010) noted another aspect of visions for higher education in Vietnam. Vietnam education lacks not only thorough analysis of emerging internal and external environments both domestically and internationally but also the ownership and commitment necessary for the reform to be implemented.…”

Purpose Vietnam is experiencing rapid expansion in the provision of higher education that requires quality assurance appropriate for the Vietnamese-centralised Confucian cultural context. This paper aims to examine the concept of quality from the perspectives of academic leaders, quality assurance members and academics at three higher education institutions in Vietnam. Design/methodology/approach Based on an interpretative study, semi-structured interviews were used as a major research instrument augmented with document analysis across three case studies. Interviews were conducted with 35 participants from three groups of stakeholders. Findings The concept of quality was found to be under-conceptualised in this Vietnamese context. Quality was conceptualised as meeting societal needs across the case studies underpinned by the belief that the purpose of higher education is to prepare graduates for employment. Research limitations/implications The study was conducted in similar disciplines at three state-owned universities in Vietnam in 2011. This provides insight within this context and timeframe that may not be generalised. It is suggested to extend this research to other disciplines, the private sector and other groups of stakeholders. Practical implications The paper discusses the necessity of revisiting the philosophy of higher education and re-conceptualising quality in Vietnam that informs quality assurance processes that are relevant to the cultural context. Originality/value This paper provides a centralised Confucian perspective to the literature on quality assurance in higher education. How quality is perceived by academic leaders, quality assurance members and, in particular, academic staff can be used to inform policy. In a centralised country such as Vietnam, academic leaders and quality assurance members may indicate their “obedient” attitudes to policies, leading to the same view with what is centrally enacted, while the academic staff have a different perception of quality.
