Quality control is an important and integrated part of the scientific system. However, developments in science and society are changing quality control into quality monitoring. New, virtual, and fluid organizational forms are emerging. Common boundaries are seen as being broken down as, for example, in the "triple helix" and the "mode 2" concepts. The stakeholders in science are showing an interest in being more involved in science. They want their evaluation criteria to be used, and they want evaluations to be done on a regular basis because they do not trust the new scientific institutions to be left on their own. Quality monitoring changes the requirements for conducting evaluations as part of quality control. Assessing the societal value of research becomes increasingly important. Finally, quality monitoring emphasizes organizational learning rather than controlling quality in scientific organizations.

We investigate the choice of quality, or academic content, in higher education in a two-sector model. Individuals are differentiated according to their cost of acquiring human capital. A higher academic quality increases productivity upon training, but is also associated with higher cost of acquiring skill. We consider both a differentiated university system in which quality is tailored to the individual need, and a uniform quality system being politically determined. The former yields a higher income dispersion. Average quality decreases under both systems when the skill premium increases. Moving from a single stage to a two-stage scheme reduces quality in the first stage and increases quality in the second stage. Increasing differentiation in higher education can decrease student effort and skill of medium ability types.

This article examines the role of successful Division I football and basketball programs in motivating alumni and other donors to make charitable educational contributions to U.S. universities. Results from fixed effects analysis of panel data on 87 universities for the period 1986–87 to 1995–96 indicate that year‐to‐year changes in athletic success have a positive impact on levels of alumni giving, but that other types of donors are not as responsive. Also, long‐standing athletic traditions established prior to the sample period appear to generate academic benefits in the form of increased charitable donations from all sources. However, the estimated impact of a successful athletic tradition is relatively weak when compared to the effect of student and faculty quality on educational contributions.

Accreditation is a series of activities in meeting and or maintaining the quality of education in line with the government's regulations. This research aims to explain the role of BAN PAUD and PNF in improving academic quality, especially in PAUD units. This research is a type of normative or literature research. The results showed an Accreditation Prerequisite Assessment (PPA) of PAUD Unit as one of the new regulations intended to facilitate educational institutions in the assessment process, especially accreditation. As part of the accreditation process, the Paud Unit's Visitation Assessment Instrument (IPV), as part of the accreditation processis based on performance-based assessment in measuring the level of unit achievement in knowledge, attitudes, and interests, which are tailored to theneeds of learners the community. Government regulations issued in line with the PAUD accreditation process are currently intended to make it easier for educational institutions to conduct assessments, both internally and externally.Akreditasi merupakan rangkaian kegiatan dalam memenuhi dan atau mempertahankan kualitas mutu pendidikan, sejalan dengan regulasi yang telah ditetapkan oleh Pemerintah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan peran BAN PAUD dan PNF dalam peningkatan kualitas akademik, khususnya pada satuan PAUD. Penelitian ini merupakan jenis penelitian normatif atau kepustakaan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat Penilaian Prasyarat Akreditasi (PPA) Satuan PAUD sebagai salah satu regulasi baru yang dimaksudkan sebagai upaya mempermudah lembaga pendidikan dalam proses penilaian, khususnya akreditasi. Instrumen Penilaian Visitasi (IPV) Satuan PAUD sebagai bagian dari proses akreditasi didasarkan pada penilaian berbasis performance dalam mengukur tingkat pencapaian satuan dalam pengetahuan, sikap dan keterampilan, yang disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan peserta didik dan masyarakat. Regulasi pemerintah yang dikeluarkan sejalan dengan proses akreditasi PAUD saat ini dimaksudkan sebagai upaya mempermudah lembaga ...

"This second open access book in the EFMD Management Education series explores business schools' increasing focus on, and search for, meaningful societal and economic research impact. This involves, in particular, co-operation and collaboration in both knowledge creation and implementation of the findings of academic research in practice. Business schools have a critical role to play in 'rewiring' our missions for research relevance, impact and reach, and in recognising needs and addressing real issues of society and economy. With cases from a range of international business schools, the book doesn't simply highlight the need for the dominant research model in business schools to evolve, but illustrates how this can happen in practice. In so doing, it opens the discussion on how the business school can contribute in very real ways to solving global and complex challenges such as climate change, rising inequalities, international isolationism, eroding democratic systems, and the spread of fake news. These are goals that the EFMD has championed since its inception, and this book will be of value and interest to policy makers and business leaders seeking insight into how management education will be shaped to support business and wider society, as well as those working in business schools and higher education leaders.

Academic Quality (AQ) is to bring about totality of an improved teaching, research and service delivery in the Nigerian university system. AQ in Nigerian universities in the 60s/70s had declined compared to the current situation. Although, several factors have been attributed to this but these universities failed to look at the talented (First Class Graduates-FCGs) concerning their potential and performance. The study, therefore investigated the influence of Talent Attraction Factors (TAFs) on AQ in universities within the South-western, Nigeria. Descriptive survey design with mixed type was adopted. Data were collected from nine (three each of Federal, State and Private) universities which were randomly selected. All the 335 identified FCGs lectures were selected using purposive technique. The study revealed that job advancement, recognition for work and competitive salary/remuneration were TAFs. These TAFs must be put in place by the government and university authorities with adequate element of sustainability to enhance AQ in Nigerian universities.
