Examining the Mission Differentiation and Specialization Areas of Regional Development-Focused Universities in the Context of SWOT Analysis

Abstract

Universities, which have important functions/tasks in the production and dissemination of knowledge, have been in a state of change since the day they emerged. In this context, there is a focus on regional rather than national development, based on the concept of smart specialization put forward by the European Commission. Based on the aim of regional development through basic skills, the “Regional Development-Focused Mission Differentiation and Specialization” project was launched by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK) in Turkey in 2016. The aim of the research is to try to understand and explain how the mission and specialization areas of the universities involved in the Regional Development Focused Mission Differentiation and Specialization project are reflected in their strategic plans and organizational structures. In this context, the strategic plans of universities were subjected to content analysis based on SWOT analysis. In the analysis, the strengths of the universities in question are; These are stated as physical and social facilities, communication and cooperation, technological infrastructure/facilities and the university’s contribution to the city/region. Weaknesses include lack of physical infrastructure/infrastructure, lack of financial resources and problems related to academic staff. Among the opportunities, the city/region advantage, collaborations and communication, and the fact that the region in which the university is located have value that will be the subject of research stand out. Among the threats, problems related to the city, problems in students’ tendency to choose these universities, financial inadequacy and problems with academic staff were among the prominent findings. Regarding the reflection of specialization units on the organizational structure, it has been found that there are mainly coordinatorships, units, work areas and groups related to the field of specialization have been formed, and there are periodicals published on the subject of specialization.
