Abstract

The objective of this chapter is to provide managers and leaders of Higher Education Institutions (HEI) with the knowledge that allows them to evaluate the possibilities and limitations of rankings and benchmarking techniques, and how these techniques can be applied correctly in the different levels of higher education systems. The chapter includes a presentation of six of the most known international university rankings, a selection of multicriteria decision-making techniques necessary to select the variables to be used, normalize their values, determine their weights, choose the aggregation method and measure how the position of each institution in the ranking depends on the methodological options adopted. For each technique, examples of application to HEI are shown. The HEI benchmarking interactive tool (HEIBIT), a tool developed to facilitate learning these techniques in international postgraduate programs in the management of HEI in Colombia, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, and Spain, is also presented.
