Abstract The operational context for Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) has become more difficult to navigate due to a large number of students, many regulations, and increasing stakeholder expectations. Due to the rapid pace of change within this environment traditional manual methods of governance will no longer provide the level of efficiency, transparency or accountability needed. Additionally, numerous digital technologies are available to HEIs including ERP systems, LMS and on-line administrative portals; however, these are typically used in isolation by HEIs resulting in fragmented governance processes.
The objective of this study is to address this issue through the development of an integrated IT-enabled governance framework for HEIs.
This framework was developed utilizing both literature review and empirical research to examine how digital technologies impact the administration and transparency of an institution's operations.
Governance is viewed as an interrelated system consisting of policy direction; operational processes; information technology infrastructure; and human capabilities. In addition, emphasis is placed on integrating processes, making decisions based upon data; and developing capability to implement effective digital governance. Additionally, rather than focusing solely on adopting new technologies, this study provides a practical guide to assist in implementing sustainable digital transformations in higher education institutions.
