This research seeks to describe the formal knowledge of directors of private universities in Chile, which are attached to the Admission System to Chilean universities. To do this, a documentary study was carried out, with a non-experimental quantitative approach, which uses primarily primary and secondary sources, particularly active transparency information provided by the website of each university, the results are presented in tables. It was determined that there is insufficient academic training at the doctoral level (only a third of university directors have a Ph.D. degree and just over 36% of rectors have this degree), and little specialization in the field of management of organizations. Additionally, an important gender gap was found in the occupation of managerial positions; all of which shows that both situations continue to be significant challenges in Chilean universities.

Comparative analysis of the top managers (TM) elected in the public universities of Chile and Venezuela. Quantitative approach; documentary review of public data and selfadministered questionnaire to directors in 28 universities. The coincidences and differences found talk about what the academic community of each country values when choosing its leaders. Age of promotion is 50, educators, not research oriented. Among the differences, the nonexistence of female rectors stands out in the Chilean case compared to more than 40% in Venezuela, and in training: the majority of Venezuelan MDs have a doctoral degree, and in Chile only 60%.

Universities, like any type of complex entity, face great organizational challenges every day. The role that governments play in solving each challenge is fundamental, and therefore, it is also important to inquire about the alternatives of University Governance contemplated in the Higher Education Law 24,521 (SLE). The SLE defines and regulates the Argentine universities and was sanctioned in the 90s, in an international context in which neoliberal ideas prevailed. From its beginnings it had strong questions, fundamentally for contradicting the principle of university autonomy guaranteed in the National Constitution. The main purpose of this work is to analyze the situation of higher education in Argentina, based on the sanction of the SLE. It is expected that the analysis carried out, of a documentary nature, will contribute to the understanding of the positioning of the SLE regarding University Governance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The participation of stakeholders in the highest collegiate bodies (HCB) of Latin American universities is a good argument when referring to the levels of democratization of these educational institutions. Public entities, pursuant to their regulations, usually include at least internal stakeholders in their decision-making bodies, in contrast to private entities, which are characterized by having more limited participation models, since they admit only representatives of the owners of the institution in their HCB. This article intends to analyze the constitution of HCB in Latin American universities, with the purpose of creating a typology that facilitates their organization based on the greater or lesser participation of stakeholders. A sample of 220 universities that appear in the Scimago IBER 2019 classification for Latin America was used. This is a descriptive research that uses secondary sources of information (scientific articles, databases and university regulations). Overall, relationships were found between the degrees of participation and the ownership regime of the institutions with the predominance of a category called homogeneous. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Near permanent and recent corporate scandals around the world have intensified the concern for ethics in organizations and particularly those from business professionals worldwide. Thus, the main purpose of this study is to explore the ethical criteria in dilemmas of a group of business students from a university in the central-southern state of Chile, based on Baumhart's (1961) and Gleen and Van Loo's (1993) investigation, conducted in the United States on students and business professionals. The results show that students find it difficult to respond correctly to ethical dilemmas and therefore need reinforcement in their formation of ethical business judgments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Chilean higher education reform draws increasing attention not only in the national community but also internationally, particularly in Latin America. Taking this into account, the present article provides an analysis of the conceptual framework that underlies the reform of Chilean higher education law. Initiated by the government of President Bachelet (2014-2018), this reform is studied in its main features of policy formulation and design. In addition, we look at the way the proposed legislation frames the relationship between universities and the state, the state's role vis-à-vis higher education and its funding to ensure universal and free access. Based on secondary information and literature, this paper critically reflects on the policy approach of the reform project and its core ideas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of the article is to reflect on the current situation and future trends of university governance in Latin America, proposing new perspectives of analysis that allow the recognition of new elements in this process. Theoretical research is carried out, with research methods such as historical-logical analysis, deductive analysis and synthetic-analytical analysis. As conclusions, emphasis is placed on the need to promote governance that focuses on postgraduate and internationalization, as well as to include evaluator bodies in their analysis as a new actor for the upcoming scenario.

The production of new knowledge is one of the cardinal functions of any complex university, or any university that wants to be complex; therefore, these educational institutions should be able to develop strategies to contribute to this complexity. Considering this brief contextual preamble, this work is intended primarily as exposing the first progresses about the experience on managing research centers in university teaching and its effect in the creation of new knowledge, in an university of the State of Chile. Methodologically speaking, it is about a case of study that includes both quantitative and qualitative evidence, which has been oriented to understand the dynamics that have occurred in the implementation of this strategy, aimed at generating new knowledge, feasible to be published in refereed academic journals. In its first version in 2014, this initiative covered a total of thirty-one people summoned and, for its version from 2015 to 2016, the activity has expanded its coverage to more than ninety participants and generated 38 new documents.

Quality Assurance (QA) in Higher Education Institutions has been a widely debated issue in Chile and Latin America during recent years. Considering this reality, this work's main goal is to this has as central purpose to briefly feature the different actions performed in a chilean university's campus within the scope of quality management. To achieve this objective, the "organizational praxis" will be presented as case study (systematized experience). Finally, the emphasis is put into unveiling the difficulties faced to implement QA actions. Furthermore, it aims to make evident and justify the unavoidable need to install these QA systems in an environment of high demands, defined in Chile by the Higher Education's challenging scenario and institutional accreditation processes that have been instated.

The study of university government and its diverse components has a significant relevance today, not only for Chile, but for all Latin American countries. The prime purpose of this work is to know the opinions that rec tors and members of the maximum collegiate bodies (MCC) in Chilean universities have regarding a mechanism that aligns interests such as the "market for directors" of higher education in the country. To achieve the aforementioned objective, a survey with closed questions was applied to seventy seven representatives from twenty-nine Chilean universities. A preliminary, descriptive analysis of the data was made in order to know the opinions of agent and principal. Then, a statistical test was applied to determine if a significant difference existed between the opinions of the actors involved. The theoretical foundations of the work are based on the contractual approach or theory of agency, which implies considering the rectors in the role of "agent" and the members of MCC as "principal". On observing the results in general terms, the closeness of the viewpoints was noted for the majority of variables considered, since only in two of the six variables analyzed were statistically significant differences produced. In any case, it is feasible to affirm in overall terms, that the opinions reinforce the supposition of the theory of agency that the market of directors is a good device for assuring that the agent can align him or herself with the purposes the principal has.

This work explores the perceptions of rectors and members of the highest professional organizations in Chilean universities regarding compensation and incentive systems existing in the university system under study. The research, related to the agency theory, assumes in the pertinent nomenclature that the figure of rector is that of an agent and that the highest professional bodies make the principal present in any of the institutions studied; both actors are taken as the unit of analysis. After the perception survey, characteristics were demonstrated that imply exclusive use of non- parametric tests for their results, determining utilization of certain statistical instruments: the chi-squared test for homogeneity, tau-c and tau-b statistics and the Kruskall-Wallis test. After scrutinizing the registered perceptions of these agents and principals, it becomes evident that, in effect and for both actors, incentives can be effective as moderating devices for the agent's opportunistic behaviors, a basic supposition of the theoretical statement used in this research.
