While the term benchmarking is commonplace nowadays in institutional research and higher education, less common, is a solid understanding of what it really means and how it has been, and can be, used effectively. This volume begins by defining benchmarking as “a strategic and structured approach whereby an organization compares aspects of its processes and/or outcomes to those of another organization or set of organizations to identify opportunities for improvement.” Building on this definition, the chapters provide a brief history of the evolution and emergence of benchmarking in general and in higher education in particular. The authors apply benchmarking to: Enrollment management and student success Institutional effectiveness The potential economic impact of higher education institutions on their host communities. They look at the use of national external survey data in institutional benchmarking and selection of peer institutions, introduce multivariate statistical methodologies for guiding that selection, and consider a novel application of baseball sabermetric methods. The volume offers a solid starting point for those new to benchmarking in higher education and provides examples of current best practices and prospective new directions. This is the 156th volume of this Jossey-Bass series. Always timely and comprehensive, New Directions for Institutional Research provides planners and administrators in all types of academic institutions with guidelines in such areas as resource coordination, information analysis, program evaluation, and institutional management.

This report concerns the use of benchmarking as a strategy for assessing and improving efficiency and productivity of administrative processes and instructional models in colleges and universities. The introductory chapter addresses the need for new tools and strategies to meet the increased competition and the higher demand for accountability faced by institutions of higher education and the development of benchmarking by the Xerox Corporation in the 1980s. The second chapter presents various definitions of benchmarking, an ongoing, systematic process for measuring and comparing the work processes of different organizations by bringing an external focus to internal activities and functions. An overview of benchmarking identifies a four-step benchmarking process model that includes (1) planning the study, (2) conducting the research, (3) analyzing the data, and (4) adapting the findings to the home institution. Four kinds of benchmarking are identified and discussed: internal, competitive, functional/industry, and generic. The third chapter reviews the current uses of benchmarking in higher education, as undertaken by such organizations as the National Association of College and University Business Offices; the Association for Continuing Higher Education, the Graduate Management Admission Council/Educational Benchmarking, Inc., and independent institutions. The final chapter gives detailed recommendations and outlines a procedure for institutions interested in undertaking a benchmarking study. (Contains approximately 115 references.) (PRW).

The world over, quality assurance agencies are working towards the same purpose, but in different contexts and with consequent variance in their procedures. There is a growing fund of experience on various issues of quality and quality assurance to build on but at present it is highly fragmented and well developed only in a few countries and on issues more pressing to the context of those countries.
