| dc.description.abstract | Competence Management (CM) has been discussed in contemporary academic and practitioner
literature as a managing tool of Core Competences. Most of the studies of CM deal with manufacturing
sector and profit organizations. Very little is known about CM in services and almost
nothing in not-for profit organization. No research report has yet been found in educational
institutions. Although, CM is not only important in manufacturing and profit organizations but
also important in non-profit, like educational institutions, in order to meet the required quality
and competitiveness of 21st century's education. Thus, an attempt has been made in this research
to study CM in the administration of one the top ranking University in a Nordic country.
The result results reveal that competencies had been defined in individual, network and unit
level, but lack of integration of a comprehensive CM framework unable the higher educational
institution to achieve the benefits of core competence. Based on the empirical findings, some
policy and research directions are given at the end of the research. | |
