| The Management domain provides information about the different ways in which distance
education is organized and administered. Different procedures may be appropriate in
different types of organization. The main organizational types are single mode
institutions, dual mode institutions, mixed mode systems, consortia and projects. In all
these, procedures will be needed for defining and reviewing institutional mission; for
allocating human and financial resources among competing student demands and markets; for
selecting, appointing, training and monitoring teachers; for recruiting, registering, and
supervising students; for selecting and controlling the use of technologies; for
controlling materials production systems; for managing budgets and finances. A planning
system must be set up and maintained.
The Management domain also deals with issues of quality control and with cost analysis
and cost effectiveness.
