A methodology to evaluate both internal and external environments of applied-scientific educational system used in strategic planning

Abstract

In the present work, we introduce a new model to evaluate an educational system, namely the appliedscientific system. This model provides us with a deep knowledge of different aspects of educational system including its organizational weakness and strength. Within our approach, making use of the production function and the calculated education area function, it is also possible to recognize different strategic aspects of an educational system and consequently improve it. This model, for the first time, provides the numerical values of both substantial and total factors of the educational system and, in a systematic manner, mathematically simulates the educated production function, the education area function, etc. Our proposed model could be extended to study an industrial system as well.
