Abstract
Management is the execution of processes such as financing of institutions, provision of production tools, marketing of produced goods and services, regulation of business processes, determination of strategies, organization of human resources using the most efficient resources. The management of open and distance learning (ODL) institutions can be examined in various dimensions concerning these processes. This chapter describes the financing, marketing steps, information systems, benchmarking, quality, and accreditation processes of the ODL institutions' management. It is understood that these processes in the management of ODL institutions contain very different components from those in the on-campus educational institutions and have a hierarchical structure within themselves. In this chapter, the management dimension in ODL systems is examined in all aspects, supported by reports from reputable organizations and other studies in the literature.
