“…This trend seems to be the main reason for the high degree of integration when it comes to QM principles. Indeed, authors either theoretically discuss QM approaches (Torgersen & Torgersen, 1997;Anyamele, 2007;Bilen, 2010;Tambi, Ghazali, & Yahya, 2008;Law, 2010;Bagautdinova, Novenkova, & Sarkin, 2013), or accreditation models (Ayers, Gephart, & Clark, 1988); or develop empirical studies on the implementation of different QM models in HE, as with EFQM (Tarí, 2006), TQM and ISO 9000 quality standard (Doherty, 1993), or SERVQUAL (Pariseau & McDaniel, 1997).…”

This paper presents the results of a systematic literature review showing how the literature on quality management (QM) in higher education (HE) has evolved. As a first contribution, this work presents a systematic breakdown of research in the field of HE quality management. Its second and most innovative contribution is its coverage of the process of introducing quality management into institutions' global management systems. Theoretically, we believe this second point to be a general trend in the evolution of the quality management literature, and empirically it represents a trend for quality management principles and practices in governance and management systems of higher education institutions (HEIs). The literature was analysed by distinguishing three main levels in HEIs: a process level, an organisational level, and, since our focus is specifically on the field of quality management, a quality management principles level. Overall, this paper concludes that integration at the three levels of analysis is strong. Moreover, we were able to identify a trend towards the development of holistic and comprehensive quality management approaches both in conceptual and empirical research studies.

“…Although higher education managers now devote more attention to the quality of teaching and learning (Saarinen 1995), it remains unclear whether quality management really enhances educational quality (Stensaker 2003). Similarly, the effect of quality management systems on the overall performance of higher education institutions remains disputed (Tambi et al 2008). Missing evidence for the impact of quality management is partly due to methodological problems: according to Harvey and Newton (2004), it is impossible to control for all relevant factors when mapping causal relationships.…”

In recent years, international accreditations from private providers have gained importance among business schools all over the world. Higher education managers increasingly see these accreditations as a way of assuring and developing quality in order to comply with international standards, enhance performance, and increase reputation. However, given that an accreditation process requires a great deal of resources and that it might increase bureaucratization and control, international accreditations remain highly disputed in academia.This paper contributes to the discussion, providing quantitative empirical evidence regarding the effect of international accreditations on the research performance of business schools. On the basis of an international survey, we analyse how the acquisition of an AACSB and/or EQUIS accreditation affects the institutions' position in the Top 1000 Business School Ranking of the Social Science Research Network, as compared to other quality management approaches. We find that international accreditations are positively related to research performance, while other forms of quality management do not exhibit any significant relationship to ranking positions. These results point to the importance of professional coaching in quality management. Because of AACSB and EQUIS's high standards concerning a coherent strategy and the quality of faculty, applying for an international accreditation seems to be a useful way to improve a business school's research performance.

“…Por conseguinte, as IES privadas brasileiras têm enfrentado maior concorrência, processos de fusões e aquisições e abertura de capital (Nogueira e Oliveira, 2015), demandando fontes de vantagem competitiva (Milan et al, 2013). Além disso, os gestores também se sentem pressionados pelos rankings de classificação das IES e dos cursos pelos jornais e revistas (Bittencourt et al, 2009), a exemplo do que ocorre em outros países (Tarí e Dick, 2016;Tambi et al, 2008).…”
