    Executive Summary

    Management of higher education involves the authority about fundamental policies and

    practices in several critical areas concerning universities. Universities are a place where

    knowledge and skills are transferred to young generation and ultimately produce better,

    responsible and productive citizens. The ultimate goal of the application of management

    techniques is to enable the administrators to make more rational among conflict,

    uncertainty and unfavorable circumstances. Therefore, it is intended to profound a study

    in the area of management practices, policies and measures the extent to which members

    of university bodies adopt management techniques in making administrative and

    academic policies and strategies.

    The purpose of the research is to compare the administrative and academic management

    of Balochistan University of IT, Engineering and Management Sciences (BUITEMS) &

    University of Balochistan (UOB). This research focuses on managerial techniques,

    policies and practices in the management university and its impact on students, teachers

    and Administration itself. Due to the nature of this study and the level of interference no

    manipulations can be done in the study setting so the data is collected in the natural

    environment which makes this research a non contrived in its nature. Data were collected

    using Questionnaire, having close ended questions. Primary data were collected through

    Websites, journals, articles, books and news papers.

    The results of the both universities were compared and it was found that in many sectors

    the BUITEMS management is working better than the management of UOB. The main

    reason behind the deficiencies of the UOB is interference of political activists and other

    reasons which are discussed in detail in this research.

    University of Balochistan should take special steps to resolve the issues of ethnic and

    political bias and also focus on the issues regarding the discipline. Management of both

    the universities should review the management policy and also can do a combine effort to

    make joint strategies to remove any discrepancies present in the management and share

    the experiences & problems faced as they can learn from each other.

    Section-I

    Chapter 1 Introduction

    1.1 Introduction of the Project

    This study is about administrative and academic management. It focuses on management

    techniques, policies and practices adapted by the two universities i.e. University of

    Balochistan (UOB) and Balochistan University of Information Technology, Engineering

    & Management Sciences (BUITEMS) and its overall influence on the people working

    under these policies.

    At present, the practice of educational administration and management has changed in

    response to historical conditions and theoretic developments. The main purpose of

    administration and management is to help achieving the objectives of an institution.

    Unless administration or management of education is improved or it is geared to the new

    needs, changes and challenges, the system or organization cannot secure the desired

    results or reach the target (Mohanty, 1998).

    Management of higher education involves the authority about fundamental policies and

    practices in several critical areas concerning universities. These areas stretch from their

    number and location, their mission, their enrolment size, access of students to their

    instructional programs and access of the public to other auxiliary services on offer. Other

    issues of concern include degree requirements; standards expected in student

    performance, the quality of research and public service activities, the freedom available to

    individual faculty members in their instructional and research efforts, the appointment ofstaff, internal organizational structure and allocation of available resources to operating

    and support programs (Iqbal, M. A 1981).

    Universities are a place where knowledge and skills are transferred to young generation

    and ultimately produce better, responsible and productive citizens. Smooth operation of

    university matters requires competent bodies like syndicate, academic council, selection

    board, finance and planning committee, advance study and research board. Bodies

    1

  • 7/29/2019 Final Project (MBA Management)

    10/83

    MGT-619 Final Project ___ ________________

    provide instructional leadership as well as manage day-to-day activities in universities.

    They also direct the educational programs and community service organizations. These

    bodies set educational standards, goals, rules and regulations and establish the policies

    and procedures to carry them out. Bodies also supervise and support faculty members,

    librarians, coaches, affairs and management of the property of the university. They

    develop academic programs, standard of teaching, monitor students, educational progress,

    train and motivate teachers and other staff, manage guidance and other students services,

    administer record keeping, planning & development, prepare budget, handle relation with

    parents, prospective and current students, and the community, and performs many other

    duties. Bodies may handle all these functions effectively if the members are well-trained,

    equipped with new knowledge, management skills and decision power (Ahmad, K.,

    1990).

    Presently, universities are facing the pressure of growing enrollments, curriculum

    modernization, shortage of funds, source allocations, appointment of staff, maintaining

    educational standard, offering courses as per new demands of changing era, staff

    development, research and scientific developments. The ultimate goal of the application

    of management techniques is to enable the administrators to make more rational among

    conflict, uncertainty and unfavorable circumstances. Therefore, it is intended to profound

    a study in the area of management practices, policies and measures the extent to which

    members of university bodies adopt management techniques in making administrative

    and academic policies and strategies.

    1.1.1 UNIVERSITY POLICIES

    A modern university is an integrated community made up of three distinct subcommunities, faculty, staff, and students working together to create and transfer

    knowledge. Even though faculty, staff and students have significantly different roles and

    responsibilities in the larger university community, there are important overarching policy

    issues of common concern that should be addressed by University Policies and these

    policies should apply to the entire Lehigh University community. This section is devoted

    to the establishment of a body of University Policies. It is desirable that policies have

    broad community support. Consequently, effective communication with the faculty, staff

    and students during the creation of a University Policy is essential.

    1.1.2 FACULTY POLICIES

    Faculty play the most essential role in the educational mission of the University, and it

    should also play a unique and critical role in the policy arena. The responsibility for

    maintaining effective university-wide educational policies, procedures and rules is

    delegated to the Faculty. To meet its policy obligations, the Faculty is responsible for

    maintaining an active and healthy governance structure and for abiding by the provisions

    of its own governance structure.

    1.1.3 ADMINISTRATIVE POLICIES

    Of growing importance in a modern university is a third body of policy that rests betweenUniversity Policy and routine operating procedures. It can best be called Administrative

    Policy. It sets campus standards for the development, approval, dissemination, and

    implementation of Administrative Policy. The University must be administered on firm

    legal and financial grounds consistent with University and Faculty Policies. Since the

    administration of the campus also affects the daily lives of faculty, staff, and students in

    significant ways, the creation and application of Administrative Policies should be a

    known and open process and should appropriately balance the needs of the institution and

    the individual. Important campus administrative responsibilities include, but are not

    limited to, responsibility for student life, finance, business services and practices, human

    resources, information technology, athletics, fund raising, and sponsored projects.

    1.2 Background of the project

    In modern era role of education has been changed. In the past education was considered

    as a tool for human development. At this age, it is considered as a tool of development in

    vast meanings such as economical development, social development and also

    development of human resources.

    Education sector is not an island. It is necessarily part and parcel of any society. The

    overall atmosphere and poor condition of a society is, the lower the standard of education

    will be.

    MGT-619 Final Project ___ ________________

    The higher education sub-sector of the entire education system is very important and

    plays pivotal role in all occupations. Quality in the universities cannot orchestrate without

    charismatic and effective administration. Every university has its own bodies that shape

    the university organization and make decisions such as the Senate, the Syndicate, the

    Academic Council, the Selection Board, the Board of Advance Study & Research, the

    Finance and Planning Committee etc. As the effective functioning of university is

    absolute and entire responsibility of these bodies, therefore, high leveled decision-making

    ability and techniques for selection of best course of action are expected from them.

    In Pakistan, the universities have two parallel systems supporting each other for providingservices to the students. One is the administration system responsible for overall

    management of the university, while the other is faculty system responsible for providing

    education to the students. Both the systems repot to Vice chancellor and have their own

    chain of command & management system individually. Both the systems work with co-

    ordination for overall management of the university and keeping the system intact.

    The study will aim to evaluate the management techniques used in administration and

    faculties of Balochistan University of Information, Engineering & Management Sciences

    (BUITEMS) & University of Balochistan (UOB). It is important to find out that the

    management practices used in the universities is flawless or not. As both the universities,

    have management sciences departments and providing services to the students to enhance

    their management skills. The selected universities are ISO 9001 certified.

    1.3 Introduction of the UniversitiesTo evaluate the management techniques used in administrative and academic decision-

    making in universities. I have selected two universities i.e. Balochistan University of

    Information, Engineering & Management Sciences (BUITEMS) & University of

    Balochistan (UOB).

    Management Sciences (BUITEMS) were laid on the sound principles of excellence in

    academic standards, equity, equality, sincerity of purpose, and the vision for the future in

    2002. The university is fully functional as a premier seat of higher education and

    research. All university bodies like the Senate, the Syndicate, Academic Council, Board

    of Advanced Studies, Departmental Boards of Study, Finance and Planning Committee

    and Selection Board are in place in accordance with Amendment Ordinance 2007. Top

    class academicians, administration and educational leaders represent these bodies.

    BUITEMS, quest for academic excellence is based on five fundamental pillars; the

    students, the faculty, curriculum, the learning environment and the civil society we serve.

    It is resolved that in our academic offering, we shall not only follow the standards; we

    shall also set new records of excellence. Combination of excellent precision and crafted

    curriculum, highly ranked academic research with excellent corporate relations and a

    blend of soft skills with hard knowledge, are the ways to guide our graduates to the best

    of business and technological world. At BUITEMS students are led to harness the

    richness of content and diversity of communication in an environment conducive to

    learning.

    1.3.2 University of Balochistan (UOB)

    The University of Balochistan, Quetta was founded in 1970 and is the oldest educational

    institution of higher learning of the province entrusted with the responsibilities to educate

    and train the potentially talented human resource and work force to meet the emerging

    needs of the industry and society. It plays a vital role in development of Pakistan in

    general and Balochistan in particular. The province of Balochistan is passing through a

    process of rapid socio-economic development, which needs well qualified and competent

    scientists, professionals, academicians and administrators. The University is cognizant of

    this need and prepared to provide meaningful higher education to the youth of the

    province The University of Balochistan offers graduate, postgraduate, doctoral and

    advanced programs of studies in various disciplines i-e Natural Sciences, Social Sciences,

    Business & Public Administration, and Computer etc. The students of this University

    share some key characteristics: high talent, leadership quality and commitment for

    accomplishment of tasks.

    Chapter 5 Summary

    The purpose of the research is to compare the administrative and academic management

    of BUITEMS & UOB. It focuses on managerial techniques, policies and practices in

    management of higher education in Pakistan.

    Management of higher education involves the authority about fundamental policies and

    practices in several critical areas concerning universities. These areas stretch from their

    number and location, their mission, their enrolment size, access of students to their

    instructional programs and access of the public to other auxiliary services on offer. Other

    issues of concern include degree requirements; standards expected in student

    performance, the quality of research and public service activities, the freedom available to

    individual faculty members in their instructional and research efforts, the appointment of

    staff, internal organizational structure and allocation of available resources to operating

    and support programs.

    Presently, universities are facing the pressure of growing enrollments, curriculummodernization, shortage of funds, source allocations, appointment of staff, maintaining

    educational standard, offering courses as per new demands of changing era, staff

    development, research and scientific developments. The ultimate goal of the application

    of management techniques is to enable the administrators to make more rational among

    conflict, uncertainty and unfavorable circumstances. Therefore, it is intended to profound

    a study in the area of management practices, policies and measures the extent to which

    members of university bodies adopt management techniques in making administrative

    and academic policies and strategies.

    Education sector is not an island. It is necessarily part and parcel of any society. The

    overall atmosphere and poor condition of a society is, the lower the standard of education

    will be. The higher education sub-sector of the entire education system is very important

    and plays pivotal role in all occupations. Quality in the universities cannot orchestrate

    without charismatic and effective administration. As the effective functioning of

    university is absolute therefore, high leveled decision-making ability and techniques for

    selection of best course of action are expected from management.

    The Higher Education Commission (HEC), formerly the University Grant Commission(UGC), is the primary regulator of higher education in Pakistan. It also facilitates the

    development of higher educational system in Pakistan. Its main purpose is to upgrade the

    Universities of Pakistan to be world-class centers of education, research and

    development. In Pakistan, the universities have two parallel systems supporting each

    other for providing services to the students. One is the administration system responsible

    for overall management of the university, while the other is faculty system responsible for

    providing education to the students. Both the systems repot to Vice chancellor and have

    their own chain of command & management system individually. Both the systems work

    with co-ordination for overall management of the university and keeping the system

    intact.

    This study aimed to evaluate the management techniques used in administration and

    faculties of Balochistan University of Information, Engineering & Management Sciences

    (BUITEMS) & University of Balochistan (UOB). It is important to find out that themanagement practices used in the universities is flawless or not. The results of the study

    will help in rectifying the discrepancies in management techniques of both the selected

    universities. Further, the results of the study will help other universities in improving their

    management techniques facing similar problems.

    This study is descriptive and the individuals were contacted for data. These individuals

    were the primary source for data collection. A questionnaire was distributed among

    Administration staff, Faculty staff and the students of both the universities selected for

    research. This data was then checked for errors and omissions, corrections were made

    where necessary and where major deficiencies were found the data was discarded. .The

    secondary data was collected from websites, journals and newspapers. The data were

    analyzed through SPSS and frequency tables and Pie charts were drawn. First the results

    of both the universities were individually described. Then the results of the both

    universities were compared to get conclusion. It was found that in many sectors theBUITEMS is better than the UOB. The administration/management of BUITMS is better

    then UOB. The main reason behind the deficiencies of the UOB is interference of

    political activists. Political activities do not exist in BUITMS while it is not in control of

    UOB. Also the appointments and admissions are influenced and on quota basis in UOB

    while it is done on merit in BUITEMS.

    University of Balochistan should take special steps to resolve the issues of ethnic bias and

    political bias present and also focus on the issues regarding the discipline. Management of

    both the universities should review the policy making in accordance with the will of the

    people who are directly affected by universities policies. Both universities can do a

    combine effort to revise curriculum, make joint strategies to remove any discrepancies

    present in the management and share the experiences & problems faced as they can learn

    from each other.

    Chapter 6 Conclusion

    After comparison of the results of information gathered from data form both the

    universities it was concluded that it is indispensable for an effective management

    to take onboard all stakeholders therefore top management must look into it.

    The responses of research shows that there a higher proportion of effective

    communication present in BUITEMS between the employees and management in

    comparison with the UOB.

    Respondents agreed that they are equally treated in BUITEMS where as

    respondents from UOB had a very low agreement with this notion.

    Analysis also depicts that facilities for students in both the universities are

    sufficient where as discipline is maintained at a higher level in BUITEMS as

    compared with UOB.

    Respondents from both the universities agree that appointments made are fair and

    curriculum is up to date. Average work time of any individual work in BUITEMS

    was 2-3 days and sixty four percent of the responses supported this aspect,

    whereas in UOB this working time is 4-6 days.

    Respondents were found to be much satisfied with the reward policy in both the

    universities; complaint handling and its procedure were found enhanced inBUITEMS as compared with UOB.

    Political influences and Ethnic support of management on in UOB were found to

    be very strong as compared with BUITEMS.

    Both the universities are well established and well governed. Management of both

    the universities should review the policy making keeping in view the suggestion

    of the people who are directly affected by universities policies.

    University of Balochistan (UOB) should take special steps to resolve the issues of

    ethnic bias and political bias present, otherwise feeling of dissatisfaction among

    the non favored employees may create management deadlocks.

    The average time for any procedure to take completion in both is relatively greater

    than any private sector, so universities should also focus to decrease this time

    span.

    Management of UOB should also focus on the issues regarding the discipline.

    Management of both the universities can do a combine effort to revise curriculum,

    make joint strategies to remove any discrepancies present in the management and

    share the experiences & problems faced as they can learn from each other.
