Abstract

The present research takes on the theoretical fundaments, established in the literature by the model of Higher Education Value and Supply Integrated System (HEVSIS). The model proposes the articulation and balance of the Higher Education (HE) supply and demand, by mean of the total integration among the value chain of HE-demand link, which allows to measure the perceived value by demander of HE professionals and research results, and the added value on its inputs (e.g. students and research proposals), during processes of both HE supply chains (teaching and research). Hence, taking the theoretical model of HEVSIS (as a better and more complete reference framework than previous models in the literature), this study proposes some elements for its operations management. Therefore, this exploratory research provides an important conceptual outline to operationalize the HEVSIS holistic theory, HE input provision, and HE supply and demand requirements, as a previous step for the subsequent empirical research that allows testing the theory of such model.
