Research Framework of Education Supply Chain Research Supply Chain and Educational Management for the Universities (original) (raw)

Research Framework of Education Supply Chain, Research

This paper investigates the education supply chain, the research supply chain, and educational management as major constituents in integrated educational supply chain management (SCM) for the universities. This empirical study depicts a holistic view, comprising inputs, the process, and outputs of the educational supply chain. Educational management represents the process component, which may be accomplished in three levels, including strategic, planning and operating levels. The exploratory research provides educational management a new dimension to understand how supply chain management contributes to successful university operations. This conceptual framework provides two main contributions including human resource contribution and research contribution to the end customer, i.e. the society.

An Empirical Study of Educational Supply Chain Management for the Universities

The exploratory study addresses education supply chain and research supply chain as major constituents in the educational supply chain management model for the universities. Model constructs were identified and confirmed by 493 respondents, representing university administrators, faculty and staffs, employers, and graduates. The resulting model was subsequently evaluated for accuracy and validity by multiple linear regression (MLR) analysis and the structural equation modeling (SEM) technique. The research model furnishes stakeholders of the supply chain with appropriate strategies to review and appraise their performance toward fulfillment of ultimate goals, i.e. producing high-caliber graduates and high-impact research outcomes for the betterment of the society.

An exploratory research on educational supply chain management

IEEE International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management, 2011

The exploratory study investigates the education supply chain and the research supply chain as major constituents in the educational supply chain management for the universities. Its applicability was successfully verified and validated through survey data from leading universities around the world. Model constructs were identified and confirmed by 493 respondents, representing experts and administrators, faculty, staffs of the university, employers, graduates, etc. The resulting model was subsequently evaluated for accuracy and validity by multiple linear regression (MLR) analysis and the structural equation modeling (SEM) technique. This model furnishes stakeholders of the supply chain with appropriate strategies to review and appraise their performance toward fulfillment of ultimate goals, i.e. producing high-caliber graduates and high-impact research outcomes, which represent two main contributions, for the betterment of the end customer, i.e., the society.

An Empirical Research of Educational Supply Chain for the Universities

The exploratory study investigates the education supply chain and the research supply chain as major constituents in the educational supply chain for the universities. Its applicability was successfully verified and validated through survey data from leading tertiary educational institutions around the world. Model constructs were identified and confirmed by 493 respondents, representing experts and administrators, faculty, staffs of the university, employers, graduates, etc. The resulting model was subsequently evaluated for accuracy and validity by multiple linear regression (MLR) analysis and the structural equation modeling (SEM) technique. The research model provides a novel approach for decision makers of each supply chain components to review and appraise their performance toward fulfillment of ultimate goals i.e. producing high-caliber graduates and high-impact research outcomes, which represent two main contributions, for the betterment of the end customer, i.e., the society.

An Empirical Study of Tertiary Educational Supply Chain Management

The exploratory study investigates the education supply chain and the research supply chain as major constituents in the tertiary educational supply chain for the universities. Its applicability was successfully verified and validated through survey data from leading tertiary educational institutions around the world. Model constructs were identified and confirmed by 493 respondents, representing experts and administrators, faculty, staffs of the university, employers, graduates, etc. The resulting model was subsequently evaluated for accuracy and validity by multiple linear regression (MLR) analysis and the structural equation modeling (SEM) technique. This model furnishes stakeholders of the supply chain with appropriate strategies to review and appraise their performance toward fulfillment of ultimate goals, i.e. producing high-caliber graduates and high-impact research outcomes, which represent two main contributions, for the betterment of the end customer, i.e., the society.

Integrated Educational Supply Chain Management (IESCM) for the Universities

The proposed Integrated Educational Supply Chain Management (IESCM) for the universities provides two main contributions to the society, including human resource contribution and research contribution. This empirical study depicts a holistic view, comprising inputs, the process, and outputs of the educational supply chain. Educational management represents the process component, which may be accomplished in three levels, including strategic, planning and operating levels. The two innovative ideas, which are education and research, for managing IESCM in the universities are explored. The research provides educational management a new dimension to understand how supply chain management contributes to successful university operations.

International Supply Chain Management: Integrated Educational Supply Chain Management (IESCM) Model for the Universities

From the point of view of international supply chain management, this chapter introduces Integrated Educational Supply Chain Management (IESCM) model for the Universities by the empirical research. The widespread implementation of supply chain management induced manufacturing and service industries to move beyond national borders is enticed by the global competition in business and service. Applying supply chain management overall in service industries like educational institutions generally considered it successful in managing their supply chains. The exploratory study addresses education supply chain and research supply chain as major constituents in the integrated educational supply chain management for the universities. Educational supply chain management consists of supplied input to the university and supplied output of the university. The authors identified different factors that have been formularized by the Structural equation modeling through AMOS. The survey questionnaire was developed and analyzed the reliability and validity of the tools. The findings of the research show the significant relationship among different factors of the educational supply chain management. From the global perspectives, the conceptual model for the universities provides a novel approach for decision makers of each supply chain components to review and appraise their performance toward fulfillment of ultimate goals, i.e. producing high-caliber graduates and high-impact research outcomes for the betterment of the society. The research model provides two contributions to the end customer, i.e. the society including human resource contribution and research contribution.

An Integrated Framework for Research and Education Supply Chain for the Universities

The exploratory study addresses the education supply chain, the research supply chain as major constituents in integrated educational supply chain management for the universities. As different parties are involved in the universities, this paper depicts the single-level, multi-tier, bi-directional supply chain for producing graduates with desirable quality and significant research outcomes for the end customer, i.e. the society. This framework provides two main contributions to the society, including human resource contribution and research contribution. The proposed conceptual framework for the universities provides a novel approach for decision makers of each supply chain components to review and appraise their performance toward fulfillment of ultimate goals, i.e. producing high-caliber graduates and high-impact research outcomes for the betterment of the society.
