“…The connection between social investments and economic growth Positive connection, which makes the social and investment model of economic growth natural and organic in developed countries (Prada-Blanco and Sanchez-Fernandez, 2017;Marino et al, 2021;Xie, 2021;Bajraktari et al, 2022) Negative connection, which hinders the developing countries' transitioning to the social and investment model of economic growth (proved by the example of the CIS countries) Role of institutes in the implementation of the social and investment model of economic growth Direct role: direct stimulation of social investments, including state financing of higher education (Wong and Chu, 2020;Askari and El Refae, 2022;Fadda et al, 2022;Lee et al, 2022;Lima et al, 2022;Usman and Ab Rahman, 2023) Indirect role: the creation of a common stable macro-economic situation and favorable investment climate with the market self-regulation of social investments Source: Authors.…”

“…Wong and Chu (2020), Lee et al (2022), and Lima et al ( 2022) point to the direct role of institutes in implementing the social and investment model of economic growth. This direct role consists of the direct stimulation of social investments, including state financing of higher education (Askari and El Refae, 2022;Fadda et al, 2022;Usman and Ab Rahman, 2023).…”

The goal of this article is to develop an institutional approach to the development of education in the social and investment model of economic growth in developing countries by the example of Russia. The hypothetical and deductive principles and regression analysis are used in this research. The research results show that the social and investment model of economic growth is being implemented in the countries of the CIS and Russia, and—as of now—the development of education slows down economic growth, instead of accelerating it. To solve this problem, we offer an institutional approach to the development of education in the social and investment model of Russia's economic growth. The new approach allows for a flexible selection of measures of management depending on the needs of education's development: development of only current, only future, or all workforce. The developed approach is based on the institution of the legal framework's adaptability to digital business models. Since workforce and skills play a key supporting role in digital business, the development of the institution of legal framework's adaptability to digital business models will stimulate the development of higher education and will ensure Russia's transition to the social and investment model of economic growth. For the practical application of the new approach, we develop an optimization model of institutional management in the interests of the development of education and transition to the social and investment model of economic growth in Russia. The model has shown that an increase in the possibility of the legal framework's adaptability to digital business models up to 100 points with a stable level of development of other institutions allows increasing skills of the current workforce by 44.05% and the future workforce by 20.96%.

“…Conversely, studies based on surveys/other empirics have expanded significantly after 2015 (45 of 53 articles), with articles examining a large sample of universities in the same country (e.g. Fadda et al, 2021) and different countries (e.g. Andersson and Sund, 2022;Camilleri, 2021).…”

“…Second, another research focus is on the links between funding systems and performance measurement of universities. For instance, Teixeira et al (2021) discuss performance-based funding systems in European universities and their institutional effects in terms of financial incentives, and Fadda et al (2021) research the links between performance-oriented funding systems and competitive allocation mechanisms to provide universities with a staff recruiting budget in Italy.…”

PurposeThis paper undertakes a structured literature review to analyse the literature on performance management and measurement (PMM) in universities over the last four decades. Over that time, PMM has emerged as an influential force in universities that impacts their operations and redefines their identity.Design/methodology/approachA structured literature review approach was used to analyse a sample of articles on PMM research from a broad range of disciplines over four decades. This was undertaken to understand the impacts of PMM practices on universities, highlight changes over time and point to avenues for future research.FindingsThe analysis highlights the fact that research on PMM in universities has grown significantly over the 40 years studied. We provide an overview of published articles over four decades regarding content, themes, theories, methods and impacts. We provide an empirical basis for discussing past, present and future university PMM research. The future research avenues offer multiple provocations for scholars and policymakers, for instance, PMM implementation strategies and relationships with various government programs and external evaluation and the role of different actors, particularly academics, in shaping PMM systems.Originality/valueUnlike a traditional literature review, the structured literature review method can develop insights into how the field has changed over time and highlight possible future research. The sample for this literature review differs from previous reviews in covering a broad range of disciplines, including accounting.

“…as a means with which to steer a policy), the adoption of this tool of evaluation in the Italian case has represented a way through which the policy tools themselves have been attributed the role of ruler. The consequence has been, for example, that there has been a structural push to the already existing delineation among universities in a context in which historically universities based in Centre-Northern Italy were in better organisational and financial conditions than those based in Southern Italy (Viesti, 2016;Fadda et al, 2021).…”

Governance Reforms in Comparative Perspective and Their Path in the Italian Case

Reforming governance in higher education has been a kind of mantra that has characterised governmental policies worldwide. Under the pressure of massification, globalisation and socio-economic demands, governments have continuously intervened to redesign the characteristics of the governance arrangements of their higher education systems as well as institutional governance. This common effort has been characterised by the adoption of a common template (i.e. the ‘steering at a distance’ model), mainly based on the idea of making universities more accountable to the societal goals through the massive use of evaluation, assessment and monitoring. The final results are highly differentiated, owing to the fact that each country has implemented a common template according to its own national characteristics and legacies. In this context, the Italian case shows its own peculiarities, whereas evaluative tools have been significantly adopted in a design highly contradictory of other dimensions such as institutional governance, the rules of careers and academic recruitment and the lack of clear systemic goals to be reached.
