Quality in Higher Education, Vol. 16, No. 1, April 2010
ABSTRACT The article analyses how quality management is understood in higher education
research. By reviewing a number of academic contributions addressing quality management issues in
Quality in Higher Education from 1995–2008, the article identifies central concepts associated
with quality management, discusses whether there are commonalities to be found in how the field of
research addresses quality management issues, and provides some clarifications as to the developmen-
tal potentials in this area. The article shows that research in the field of quality management can be
characterised as conceptually heterogeneous and multidisciplinary, although the contributions in the
field also share a number of similarities. In the conclusion an argument is made for more joint and
comparative research in this area.
Introduction
Following national requirements or voluntary adaptation, many higher education institu-
tions throughout the world have implemented or are in the process of creating their own
quality management (QM) systems, with the aim of securing and improving teaching and
learning. For those institutions that want to establish a QM system, various theoretical and
conceptual approaches exist offering solutions for those that may be interested in using
these as ideals, blueprints or inspiration in the implementation process.
While there has been considerable interest in issues concerning how quality could be
defined (Harvey & Green, 1993), in the design and relevance of various national quality
assurance schemes in higher education (Westerheijden et al., 1994; Schwarz & Westerheijden,
2004) and also much interest in the outcomes and effects of such quality assurance processes
throughout the world (Stensaker, 2008), analysis of models or approaches of quality

assurance at the institutional level is more rarely addressed. In one of the few articles trying
to sum up research on quality management at the institutional level, Brookes and Becket
(2007), point out that the introduction of quality-management concepts in higher education
is mainly an externally driven process related to increased demands for accountability and
efficiency in the sector. They also found that much attention has been given to quality
management models developed for business and industry, and that there is a concern that
such models may add little to the improvement of teaching and learning, although they
might have advantages for improving accountability.
This situation is unfortunate, especially since quality management, at least theoretically,
can have potential academic benefits; for example, with respect to identifying available
options higher education institutions may choose from in order to respond to increasing
external pressures for demonstrating academic output, and that quality assurance also
needs to demonstrate its ability to develop as a field of knowledge (Westerheijden, 1999).
Hence, as Harvey argues (1995), it is necessary to move beyond debates about whether
quality management is relevant for higher education, by having less focus on the label and

concluded that the adoption of TQM in higher education was both a myth and illusion.
However, as Birnbaum (2000, p. 104) later pointed out: ‘TQM was sound; it was the imple-
mentation that was at fault’. Among the reasons for unsuccessful implementation of TQM
in higher education institutions, Seymour (1991) mentioned the resistance to change; an
insufficient administrative commitment; a high time investment due to personal training;
the difficulty of application of TQM tools to the higher education institutions’ environment;
little experience of team leaders and staff in working as a team; and the concern of the insti-
tutions about the results being not sufficient enough. The ISO 9001:2000 and the excellence
models (EFQM) are also among the popular industry-originated models that have been
applied to higher education. Still, Csizmadia (2006, p. 61) argued that the ISO approach
entails too general a view of the ‘production process’ of higher education. Hence, after the
first wave of attempts to copy private-sector models in higher education, more attention has
been devoted to the development of quality management models that would take into
consideration the specific characteristics of higher education institutions (Harvey, 1995).
Of course, the question then is how to identify an approach as quality management if it is
Downloaded by [RMIT University] at 15:07 27 August 2014
not labelled as TQM or other well-known private sector models? Three more general
descriptions can still be identified. First, the term ‘quality management’ is in general a term
that encompasses policies, concepts, approaches, ideas, systems and processes designed for
ensuring the systematic maintenance and enhancement of quality within an institution
(Csizmadia, 2006, p. 24). In other words, quality management covers both process and
structure, and is seen as comprehensive. Second, quality management can have multiple
purposes (Trow, 1994). Quality management can be seen both as techniques and instru-
ments used to improve the quality directly and also as establishing operating mechanisms
through making the activities of institutions more accountable, transparent and efficient.
Still, even if the area covered by quality management may vary, empirical studies have
shown that most attention has been put on establishing systems and procedures targeting
teaching and learning issues (Stensaker, 2003). Third, and related to the other two issues,
quality management is tightly linked to institutional decision-making processes, being a
‘more general term to describe the total process of judgement, decision and action’ (Brennan
& Shah, 2000, p. 5).
Brennan and Shah (2000, p. 14) also provide a framework as to how one could categorise
quality-management models. According to them, the choice of an approach to quality
management, as well as quality assessment depends on ‘quality values’ and ‘conceptions
about what constitutes high quality in higher education’. Furthermore, they also differentiate
between four main types of quality values stressing different focuses in approaches to qual-
ity management. These are academic, managerial, pedagogic and employment focus (Table 1). In
the first approach (‘academic’) the focus is on the subject field, which is associated with
professorial authority and where the academic values are of great importance. ‘Conceptions
of quality are based on subject affiliation and vary across the institution, which has limited
scope to define and assess quality’ (Brennan & Shah, 2000, p. 14). In essence, a quality-
management system should be decentralised, focusing on disciplinary characteristics and
applying different quality standards. The managerial type has institutional policies and
procedures as the main focus of assessment, underlying good management practices as the
key factor of quality production. The characteristics of quality are considered as being
‘invariant’ across the institution (Brennan & Shah, 2000, p. 14). Here, centralisation is seen as
an essential characteristic of a quality-management system, along with the coupling to
institutional strategies and more coherent quality standards. The third type, described as
‘pedagogic’, focuses on people and pedagogical aspects of the process, i.e. teaching skills and
40 H. Pratasavitskaya & B. Stensaker
methods, staff training and development. The characteristics of quality are regarded as
invariant across the whole institution. Unlike the first type, a lot of attention is paid here to
a more standardised delivery process rather than the content of education. The ‘employ-
ment-focus’ approach focuses on learning outcomes, standards and output characteristics of
graduates. This approach deals with customer requirements, where the customers are often
seen as the employers of graduates. ‘It tends to take into account both subject specific and
core characteristics of high quality education’ (Brennan & Shah, 2000, p. 15). Quality charac-
teristics are regarded as both invariant and variant depending on a specific subject. The
invariant dimensions could in this approach be linked to the generic skills often identified in
national qualification frameworks.
These four categories offer a simple but efficient way of identifying key characteristics
and focus of a given quality-management model and is used as a heuristic tool in the further
analysis, although it also should be mentioned that the four dimensions may appear quite
stylised and not capable of capturing the complexities of different approaches to quality
management.
Second, all articles went through an initial analysis; that is, whether it was possible to
classify the articles as belonging to one of the four approaches specified by Brennan and
Shah. Here several techniques were combined, including counting specific words that can
be related to a specific category (e.g., managerial, leadership, decision-making, systems,
routines, indicators), the weight given to certain elements in the proposed approach and the
types of data, analysis and processes that were seen as necessary to implement a given
approach.
Third, since the initial analysis disclosed difficulties in identifying articles belonging to a
specific approach using the Brennan and Shah categories, all articles were further analysed
with respect to their theoretical or analytical frame; that is, whether they employed a theo-
retical frame and what the articles considered as the key component(s) in the (successful)
functioning of the suggested approaches. The emphasis on theory was used as a check on
the overall relevance of the categorisation by Brennan and Shah as an analytical scheme
and, by identifying key components, the intention was to go beyond the counting of certain
words and concepts and reveal the deeper messages in the text.

The first domain, determination of desired learning outcomes, stresses the goals of study
programmes and how they relate to students’ needs, comprising students’ prior knowledge,
abilities, further employment opportunities and quality of life. Design of curriculum addresses
the processes to design and improve programme curriculum. These include: programme
contents and from what perspective it will be taught; the role of design inputs from students,
staff and employers; what will be done to create a coherent curriculum by collecting system-
atic feedback and acting upon it while adjusting it to programme goals when necessary;
assurance of the standard of academic programmes offered by organisations. The third
domain, design of teaching and learning processes, presupposes processes to design, review and
improve teaching and learning methods, materials and students’ learning environment,
which include considering desired and achieved learning outcomes, the role of external
inputs and students’ views, and innovation to improve student learning. Design of student
examination and the use of examination results highlights processes to design, review and
improve the examination of students and its relation to educational objectives, including:
placing responsibility for examination; mechanisms for feedback to improve examination;
Downloaded by [RMIT University] at 15:07 27 August 2014
and processes that connect examination with educational objectives more closely. Implemen-
tation quality implies processes that assure correct, coherent and effective implementation of
learning outcomes, curricula, teaching, learning and examination design and processes that
include: staff recruitment and development; peer review; measures of students’ learning
experience outside the classroom; and teacher–student interaction. The sixth domain,
commitment of resources to education quality work, focuses on the use of resources by organisa-
tions to enhance quality work; adequate funding of quality management processes; the
establishment of incentives for rewarding good performance in delivering quality education;
whether unit levels receive sufficient funding to perform their mission.
Balancing improvement and accountability is a central theme in the ‘Quality develop-
ment model’ proposed by Gosling and D’Andrea (2001). In this article, they argued that a
quality system is a system that ‘not only performs a regulatory function but one that func-
tions to improve the quality of the educational experience, one that provides a developmen-
tal function as well’ (p. 11). They further state that the dilemma outlined above causes some
tension in higher education institutions between offices responsible for quality assurance
and educational development. The reason for this tension arises from the differences
between these values, because quality assurance concentrates on quality assessment and
educational development concentrates on quality enhancement.
Gosling and D’Andrea (2001, p. 11) saw, therefore, the holistic educational development
model as the one that combines the enhancement of learning and teaching with the quality
and standards monitoring processes in a higher education institution. In this model, educa-
tional development includes the initiation and management of three major areas of work:
academic development, learning development and quality development. According to the model,
the activities of the educational development office would create a ‘quality loop’. It takes the
development, implementation and evaluation of the educational provision full circle by
supporting the process of curriculum development with knowledge of current pedagogical
theory and practice. It would also enhance the necessary professional development for
teaching staff on teaching and learning strategies that would meet the educational goals and
objectives of the curriculum developed.
One observation the authors made is that there is usually little dialogue between the
offices responsible for curriculum development and for supporting students’ learning, and
for the quality assurance of both, as the responsibilities for these main areas are often
separated (see also Harvey, 1998). Thus, the important issue is then to create links between

the quality at all levels would be monitored, integrated and improved. The objective is ‘to
obtain a seamless meshing of different approaches to quality’ (Srikanthan & Dalrymple,
2002, p. 223). Through the dialogues the participants would develop common principles of
the institution’s values, methods for effective operation and new organisational solutions, to
create a foundation for an ‘organisational architecture’ for learning. According to
Srikanthan and Dalrymple (2002, p. 223), this would maintain a continuous synergy with a
‘deep learning cycle’ (Senge et al., 1994, p. 46) of ‘awareness and sensibilities’ about the
higher education institution’s role in the community. The generic model for quality
management has, therefore, as its objective, the creation of a synergy between educational
and organisational theories.
setting, these authors argue that single case studies offer much knowledge and insights
that can be of much relevance to others. As in the case of the three contributions
presented above, a large number of the articles analysed employ a holistic approach. In
general, the claim is made that the improvement and enhancement of educational quality
within higher education institutions requires addressing all four quality values; that is,
academic, pedagogic, managerial and employment focus. For example, Popli (2005, p. 21)
advocated the importance of ‘the holistic development of students’ in India’s business and
management schools and institutions. The author suggested that this it can be achieved
through:
Another example can be drawn from Ottewill and Macfarlane (2004, p. 231) who discussed
the notion of ‘scholarship of teaching’ and how a quality assessment process can contribute
to its primary goal; ‘to enhance the quality of the student learning experience’ (Prosser &
Trigwell, 1999, quoted in Ottewill & Macfarlane, 2004, p. 231). Although in the discussion
the main target is pedagogic quality values, the authors strongly emphasise the need for the
involvement of other quality-management criteria, such as collaboration, stakeholder
involvement and self-criticism, in order to achieve this target.
Still, the holistic approach is not totally dominant. A smaller number of contributions
build their approaches to quality management around a combination of only two quality
values, considering them as an important factor of quality enhancement. The most common
combination is:
• first, of those quality values that are related to professional and structural development
within an institution—that is, managerial and pedagogic quality values;
Quality Management in Higher Education 45
• second, of those values that are focused on knowledge acquisition and students’ learning
experience and environment—that is, academic and pedagogic quality values.
In the first case, the researchers raise the discussions about the implications of the develop-
ment of quality assurance systems for culture and change within higher education institu-
tions. Hence, the main topic of the articles here is change within an institutional structure, as
well as institutional activities, both administrative and educational. These articles often see
quality management as a result of changing environments of higher education triggering the
need for ‘effective change management’, ‘cost-effectiveness’, ‘efficiency’, ‘an organisational
changing culture’ and ‘dissemination of best teaching practices’ (Barrow, 1999; Strydom et
al., 2004; Brunetto & Farr-Wharton, 2005; Lomas & Nicholls, 2005). The impression is that the
solution to a number of challenges related to quality is to apply more managerial tools in a
sensible way, through organisational restructuring, reinforcement of leadership and
administration and more efficient management of resources.
In the second case, the articles portray quality first of all as students’ transformation
Downloaded by [RMIT University] at 15:07 27 August 2014
during the teaching and learning processes (Hansen & Jackson, 1996; Harris & Bretag, 2003;
Knight, 2006; Watty, 2006). The main objective expressed in their articles is how to enhance
students’ learning experience and to promote their learning outcomes. To achieve this objec-
tive, the authors of the articles advocated the use of the approaches that are based on peda-
gogic and academic quality values. For example, in her article about quality in accounting
education in Australian universities, Watty (2006, p. 298) suggests that ‘quality in accounting
education ought to be about transformation, defined … as: a unique, individually negotiated
process between the teacher and the learner, where the participant is transformed’. When it
comes to employment focus, this is the least-emphasised dimension in the articles analysed,
as quality in general focuses on managerial, academic and pedagogic dimensions.
Thus, our reading reveals that the approaches and analysis of quality management at an
institutional level can be characterised as heterogeneous in how the articles conceptually
perceive quality in higher education and what quality values they address in their
approaches. This heterogeneity can also be observed in the frameworks of reference and
theoretical basis used by the researchers in their research. The theoretical and analytical
framing of the articles analysed draws upon theoretical knowledge developed both outside
and within the higher education field. This includes concepts, theories and ideas coming
from many disciplines and perspectives, including sociology, psychology and management
studies, as well as the higher education field. This suggests that the field may be character-
ised as multi- or interdisciplinary in nature.
Interestingly, one can hardly observe much diversity of methods and measures identified
as central in the articles. In this respect the articles are quite homogeneous and emphasise
three key components upon which the approaches are built. These are measures intended to
stimulate students’ learning, strengthening the linkages between higher education and soci-
ety and management tools to support and enhance the quality of the educational activities in
higher education institutions. For example, student learning is usually seen as being
achieved through detailed planning, preparation and cohesion between different parts of the
educational programmes or courses, flexible curricula, clearly defined programme aims and
the development of learning outcomes (Hansen & Jackson, 1996; Alean-Kirkpatrick et al.,
1997; Horsburgh, 1998; Bolander et al., 2006). Several articles also point to the need for
measures to develop students’ communication skills, their critical abilities, the involvement
of students in knowledge creation, professional development and training of teaching staff,
the improvement of teaching methods, the employment of various teaching and learning
46 H. Pratasavitskaya & B. Stensaker
styles and teacher–student cooperation in the learning process (Horsburgh, 1998; Harris &
Bretag, 2003; Ottewill & Macfarlane, 2004; Knight, 2006).
With respect to strengthening the linkages between higher education and society, the
articles tend to emphasise the necessity of staff selection and appraisal, provision of profes-
sional training for students, development of indicators of possibilities of students’ employ-
ment, collaboration of higher education institutions with potential employers and
communities—all of these can be summarised by the criteria employers’ needs and require-
ments, students’ needs and employment opportunities (Alean-Kirkpatrick et al., 1997; Barrow,
1999; Popli, 2005; Srikanthan & Dalrymple, 2005; Rosa et al., 2006).
Finally, among a variety of existing management practices, the most frequently
mentioned measures requested in the articles are the development of mission statements
and policies of an institution, the improvement of organisational culture, the development
of leadership skills among the academics, the use of resource management and a supporting
quality information system and the encouragement of effective communication between
higher education stakeholders both within an institution and outside, which can be

embraced in such criteria as leadership, teamwork and resource management (Duening &

A third characteristic can be found when studying what sort of methodological processes
Downloaded by [RMIT University] at 15:07 27 August 2014
are emphasised in the contributions. Most of the contributions have a common thrust on
assessing and enhancing students’ learning experience, when one defines ‘quality’. This is in
particular a special feature in the more theory-driven approaches. For example, Srikanthan
and Dalrymple (2002, p. 220) suggested that quality policies have to be learning-oriented
with the emphasis on students’ experience, ‘empowering students through adding value to
their capability and ultimately empowering them’. Massy (1997, p. 225) maintained that
organisational issues, faculty and departmental education quality processes should be
designed in the way that they lead to the improvement of students’ learning. Gosling and
D’Andrea (2001, p. 11) saw a quality system as a system ‘that functions to improve the qual-
ity of the educational experience … and provides a developmental function as well’. They
emphasised the necessity of ‘linking curriculum development with quality management’
(p. 11) to enhance students’ learning development. A further shared view in the contribu-
tions is the need for interaction and dialogue at the level of the education delivery. Srikanthan
and Dalrymple (2002, p. 220) required the students’ learning experience to be based on a
dialogue between a teacher and students, as well as between higher education institutions
themselves and with the external community. Massy (1997, pp. 256–260) foresaw teaching
and learning to be based on teacher–student interaction, mentoring and cooperative peer
learning. Gosling and D’Andrea (2001, pp. 11–15) underlined the creation of teaching and
learning strategies that would meet the educational goals of the curriculum development
and would contribute to the improvement of the quality of students’ experience of the
higher education as well.
An unsurprising final element shared by most contributions is to emphasise the need for
different management measures to coordinate the educational processes at all levels of a higher
education institution. Thus, Srikanthan and Dalrymple (2002, p. 220) gave leadership an
important role in creating and securing an appropriate collegial culture in order to achieve
‘transformation of the learners’.
Conclusion
Based on this analysis, there are indications that contributions on quality management in
higher education are more similar than their labels may suggest. The approaches, concepts
and frameworks offered tend to concentrate on many of the same dimensions, although the
way in which they discuss and present these may be very different. This could imply a
