Revenue Diversification in Higher Education Institutions: A Systematic Literature Review
Öz
This study aims to screen the revenue diversification strategies of higher education institutions worldwide. It will shed light on the academic discussion on various ways of income generation and related trends in the context of universities. This paper employs a systematic literature review (SLR) method using the Web of Science and Scopus databases. The timeframe included in the study is from 2004 to 2024. With each category revealing critical features of revenue diversification strategies in higher education, this analysis has found five dominant themes in the selected literature. While the selection of the available literature was done through a choice of keyword entries to save time and effort, only peer-reviewed articles were included, avoiding other potential sources such as books and doctoral dissertations related to the field. Researchers, policy makers, and managers concerned with the field of revenue diversification in higher education can benefit from this study, as it strives to identify gaps in the field, provide suggestions for better implementation of RD strategies, and facilitate insights into improvements in regulations. This research can potentially help scientists concentrate on the research gaps by providing synthesized knowledge about income diversification in higher education, as it utilizes the SLR method, crucial for integrating and showcasing the scientific evidence emerging from quantitative and qualitative literature.
