This paper explores the principal methods used in managing higher education systems across various national and institutional contexts. Effective management in higher education involves strategic planning, governance structures, financial oversight, quality assurance, and academic leadership. The study reviews centralized versus decentralized models, performance-based funding mechanisms, and stakeholder involvement in decision-making. It also examines how modern challenges—such as globalization, digital transformation, and shifting labor market demands—are influencing governance practices. Through comparative analysis and case studies, the research highlights best practices that promote institutional autonomy, accountability, and innovation. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of how diverse management approaches impact educational outcomes, equity, and system responsiveness.
