  • Todays our private universities have been facing with serious survival competition according to the opening of education market, the diminishment of college voluntarists and the increase of education supply. In coming the beginning of the year of 2000, though the equal formula. 'The fixed number of students of universities = The number of graduates of high schools' will he formed, even though the tendency of the fixed number of students of universities is maintained as it is, and it has been expected the unlimited competition would be unvaoidable, so private universities and private junior colleges which are weak in financial power are roaring the crisis consciousness that they may have to close doors before making every effort. Based on such presentation of problem as its study object, the range of study is limitted to the educational financial portion related to higher education field. Especially, the financial portion of private universities of higher educational field is discussed in priority. Besides, the present status of financial condition of our universities was portionally compared with that of in the advanced nations. It is true that pursuing the academic superiority of university education in our country, and attaining object of university as well as developing reflection in future should stand side by side. Therefore, payment of fee, supporting subsidy, etc. is attached too much importance to the financial problem. In our country, the financial allotment is attached too much importance to national universities. This is against the principle of equity to the tax payers, and equality of opportunity, so the level of supporting national funds should be upward formed and supported from 1.0% to higher than 20%. In conclusion, our private universities should adopt as many alternatives of rationalization of finance as possible, such as securing lots of funds and subsidies, and rationalized management of finance, and ensuring finance according to the increasing number of students after university specialization, etc.

  • The entrepreneurial university concept is a new challenge and opportunity for science and technology universities in Korea. The traditional university functions of education, research, and community service are still highly relevant, but increasingly so are new types of collaboration for research outcomes and funding resources. Strategic university management is needed to handle socioeconomic contribution, involving the creation and maintenance of proactive relationships with firms, national and regional governments, and other regional entities. The emergence of the entrepreneurial university in Korea is similar to the socioeconomic changes observable in the history of university development in America and in many other developed countries. In this paper, we examine the emerging paradigm of entrepreneurial universities in Korea and discuss the interactions among universities, firms, and government strategy and policy by investigating and comparing two universities, POSTECH and KAIST, in their leadership, adaptation to changes in the environment, business strategies, organization, and cooperative network. We conclude with policy points that emphasize the fact that while entrepreneurial universities are an emerging concept, they can expand innovation and creativity in education and research in Korean universities in the mid-to-long term if university administration, policymakers and public administrators, and regional innovation actors take an interest in the need for a new organization and system where university research can contribute socioeconomically.

  • In this paper, I studied several universities which are especially famous for video and media fields in the United States to develop our international competitiveness. I selected the outstanding US universities and researched the various indexes of corresponding department, internship program and other activities related with company. Then, analyzed the research results and compared with the department of Video Broadcasting at the K women's university in our country. As a result, the retention rate and the graduate rate of the 4-years universities(bachelor's degree) are very higher than the 2-years associated degree among the US universities. On the other hand, although the department of Video Broadcasting at the K women's university is the associated degree course, it shows up the highest the retention rate and the graduate rate than the US universities. Therefore, we are able to recognize that K Women's University has managed its students well. However, the employment rate of the K Women's University was poor than the US universities due to the lack of the internship programs, other activities supported by companies and the career service center.

  • Green campus means the environmentally-conscious universities that are trying to increase campus sustainability by reducing carbon emissions, expanding eco-friendly activities. This study was carried out to compare the recognition level on green campus between Korea and Japan universities. For investigating the recognition level of students and faculties on green campus, the questionnaire surveys were conducted by personal interviews in Korea and Japan, separately. The 40% and 68% respondents in Korean A and B universities, respectively, pointed out the energy issue as one of the serious environmental problems while the corresponding ratio among Japanese respondents was 44% and 34%. The participation intention for green campus movement in Japanese universities was higher than Korean universities. The 70% or 52% of Korean students in A and B universities, respectively, replied that they did not participate the green campus movement. It is needed to strengthen the educational program to achieve the sustainability of campus in Korea.

  • The study explores factors that affect the performance of responsibility accounting at public universities in Vietnam. The study conducted a survey of 130, out of 154 public universities in Vietnam and uses regression analysis methods. The results identify eight groups of factors affecting the performance of responsibility accounting at these establishments of higher education: Division of the organization into responsibility centers, Estimation and Reality, Cost and income allocation, University autonomy, Management decentralization, Estimation, Reward, and Report. Costs and income allocation for responsibility centers, university autonomy, and the division of universities into responsibility centers are shown to significantly affect the performance of public universities in Vietnam. The results show that the performance of responsibility accounting at public universities in Vietnam is influenced by decentralization of management, division of the organization into responsibility centers, reward, cost and income allocation, estimation, evaluation of the results achieved between the estimation compared with reality, release of reports and university autonomy. Among the factors, cost and income allocation, university autonomy, division of the organization into responsibility centers, reward and evaluation of results achieved between estimation and reality have strong impacts. The study findings also indicate that the school council does not affect responsibility accounting at these universities.

  • This study aims to examine the level of students' satisfaction toward the services (i.e. accommodation facilities, transportation facilities, and recreation and sports facilities) provided by the public universities in Bangladesh. The study also aims to identify the major service factors that influence students' satisfaction in public universities in the country. A cross-sectional survey was conducted at six public universities to obtain primary data. A standardized questionnaire was distributed to a total of 500 randomly selected students to collect the data. Several statistical tools, namely, reliability analysis, descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis were employed to analyze the data. The findings revealed that recreation and sports facilities have the strongest impact on students' satisfaction in the public universities in Bangladesh. Transportation facilities also have positive and significant impact on student's satisfaction. However, the study found a negative correlation between accommodation facilities and students' satisfaction indicating that students are not satisfied with the accommodation facilities provided by the public universities. The findings of this study provide an insight about students' satisfaction that might be useful to authorities of the public universities and other higher educational institutions in designing policies for various services and facilities to be provided to their students.

  • Purpose: This study examines some successful and failed cases of Korean private universities' profitable business and explores the desirable economic value and direction of their profitable business business operations with a view to shedding light on some clues conducive to their financial health and quality education. Research design, data and methodology: This study reviews news articles, reports and literature to find out Korean universities' financial condition and examines some successful and failed examples of their corporations' profit-making business operations to suggest a direction. Results: Private universities suffer declining enrollments and/or tuition freeze but they lack in making efforts to secure financial health. The reviewed examples of private universities' profit-making business operations suggest both universities and their corporations should first assume the public accountability prior to engaging in diverse business activities. Conclusions: First, to remain financially healthy, university corporations should exert themselves to transform their low-profit-margin lands and buildings into high-profit-margin businesses and to credit the realized income to their school-expense accounts. And, the ultimate purpose of universities' profit-making business operations is to realize a decent income without prejudice to their public accountability for the country and community, while forging a virtuous cycle by investing the income for the betterment of their educational quality and competitiveness.

  • The core of the university policy pursued by the Moon Jae-in administration is to strengthen university competencies through the diagnosis of universities. To this end, the word structural reform evaluation is changed to strengthening the basic competencies of universities, and is trying to escape from the past reduction of pro-class capacity. Deputy Prime Minister Kim Sang-gon insisted, "We will improve the university structure evaluation, which is biased toward quantitative quota adjustment, with a diagnosis of basic university competency to support the autonomous development of the university." The Ministry of Education expressed its intention to strengthen the capacity of local universities by saying that it would also consider regional conditions in reducing the university quota due to the decrease in the school-age population so far. In the meantime, as the school-age population declined, the Ministry of Education promoted the reform of the university structure by dividing it into three cycles from 2014. This paper focuses on the problems of diagnosis of education reform and improvement measures, and tries to find out what is the desirable direction for education innovation. This paper studied the structural reform of universities following the decline of local universities. The policy alternatives in this paper are as follows. First, the contents of the government's push for university structural reform were analyzed. Second, we considered the problems of university structural reform. Third, they sought ways to develop local universities and enhance their competitiveness.

  • The aim of this research was to look into the relationship between leadership; transformational leadership, transactional leadership, and employee innovation, as well as the mediating impact of cultural diversity between leadership and employee innovation. Structured questionnaire was used to collect the data from 633 public and private universities' employees in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) with the help of the stratified sampling technique, and hypothesis verified through structural equations modelling (AMOS-21). Findings of the study shows that leadership has positive impact on employee innovation and cultural diversity partially mediates the relationship between leadership and innovative performance of UAE universities' employees. Practical implication of the study is to understand how universities can enhance their employees' innovation which is crucial for their competitiveness and survival. Moreover, the increasing prevalence of cultural diversity, as work arrangements in universities, raises the question of how to successfully manage employees. Although few studies have looked into how transformational and transactional leadership styles affect employees' innovation performance, this study expands on the topic by concentrating on sub-dimensions of leadership that foster innovation through idea generation and execution at the United Arab Emirates universities. This study offers valuable insights for educational leaders and throws light on the main characteristics of leadership which helps the employees to perform better in terms of innovation.

  • 본 논문은 한국연구재단의 대학 산학협력활동실태조사 자료를 기초로 110개 대학의 5년간 기술이전 데이터 4,182건을 분석에 활용하여 대학유형별로 대학의 기술이전성과에 영향을 미치는 요인들과 이들 요인들 간의 영향의 경로와 정도를 분석하고, 선도TLO지원사업 참여여부에 따른 성과 차이를 분석하였다. 그 결과 지방대학들과 수도권 사립중소형 대학들은 연구자 인센티브가 중요한 요인이 되었으며, 특수목적대학은 지식재산권 보유현황이 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 대형 대학들은 전임교원수가 절대적으로 영향을 미쳤고, 사립대학의 경우에는 특허관련 정부지원금이 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 선도TLO 지원여부에 따라서는 지원받은 대학들이 그렇지 못한 대학들 보다 모든 변수의 평균값이 높게 나타나 향후에도 정부의 지속적인 지원정책이 필요함을 보여 주고 있다. 또한 대학 유형에 상관없이 대부분의 기술이전이 중소벤처기업에 집중되어 있어서 대학의 우수한 기술들이 성공적으로 상용화 되기 위해서는 산 학 관의 유기적인 협력이 필요하다 하겠다.
