This comprehensive handbook delves into diverse aspects of Higher Education (HE) where operations research/management science (OR/MS) techniques are applied with great effectiveness. Key examples encompass international comparisons, university rankings, and the utilization of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) for evaluating academic efficiency. The handbook also offers valuable insights into formulating academic strategies using the balanced scorecard framework, budgeting and planning with linear and quadratic models, student forecasting, evaluating E-learning initiatives, conducting faculty evaluations through questionnaires and multivariate statistics, implementing marketing strategies for HE, engaging in analytic and educational simulations, exploring academic information systems, facilitating technology transfer through systems analysis, and optimizing examination timetabling. Additionally, the handbook includes overviews, case studies, and findings on advanced OR/MS applications across various functional areas within HE, providing valuable perspectives and practical insights for practitioners and scholars in the field.
