Research outputs in higher education institutions (HEIs) are crucially dependent on the research management process. Departing from a SWOT analysis, the main objective of this paper is to analyze the perceptions of stakeholders (researchers, teachers, and senior research managers) regarding the main strengths and weaknesses of HEIs, as well as assess the potential opportunities and threats present in the external environment. It analyzed a total of 462 responses from seven HEIs and two ministries participating in the INNOVA project in Bolivia and Paraguay. The results from the statistical analysis indicate that the respondents tend to identify the traditional obstacles and facilitators to research development, namely, the scarcity and instability of public policies, which permeate the institutions, diminishing the consistency of internal research policies and creating difficulties in access to funding and career development opportunities. Building on the substantial progress made in recent years, the unvirtuous cycle may be halted with political stability and committed action between all the concerned parties.
Research management in higher education institutions in Bolivia and Paraguay: a SWOT analysis
(Inderscience Publishers, 2024) Beatriz Margarita Barrera Zuleta; Jorge Fuentes Ávila; Helena Albuquerque; Fátima Matos Silva; Makhabbat Ramazanova; Silvia Marín Guzmán
The primary purpose of this article is to present the results of a SWOT analysis of research management in higher education institutions in Bolivia and Paraguay. When managing research, it is crucial to comprehensively understand the internal and external factors that might influence the efficacy of the research management process within higher education institutions (HEIs). This involves identifying the strengths and weaknesses of HEIs and assessing the potential opportunities and threats in the broad external environment. It is essential to involve all stakeholders in the governance process, from researchers to senior managers. This study applied the SWOT methodology to gather insights from key stakeholders in higher education institutions management and ministries participating in the INNOVA project in Bolivia and Paraguay presenting their perspectives and the results obtained. The findings indicate that despite research being incorporated into Bolivia's and Paraguay's national policies, it still needs to be developed, and there are no concrete indicators regarding the fulfilment of political objectives. The main actors in this study recognise the importance of the government's role in promoting, developing, and supporting research.
