UNIVERSITY RESEARCH EVALUATION AND FUNDING IN TERMS OF STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT
Abstract
The more and more accelerated scientific and technological progress in advanced economies requires an increased complexity of the uncertainty and non-repetitiveness characteristics of the university activities. This calls more and more for the diversification, perfection and refinement of the evaluation methods for the efficiency and effectiveness of the university activity, in the short, medium and long run under the new conditions of globalization and assertion of knowledge-based society. This paper compares methods of evaluation used across many countries in Europe. On the basis of this comparison and focusing in particular on Bucharest University of Economic Studies (BUES), we examine the advantages and disadvantages of performance-based funding in comparison with other approaches to funding. This thesis adds value to the field of university evaluation in a holistic vision including the method of evaluating and the types of problems of research evaluation practiced in every country. The research starts with exegeses of the theoretical approach concerning evaluation concepts in the context of strategic management and continues with the analysis of the quantitative and qualitative evaluation methods in terms of research university evaluation in Romania and other EU member countries.
