Abstract

Due to the positive trend in the demand for higher education opportunities, new higher education institutions (universities, university colleges, or colleges) either private or public, physical, or virtual are entering into the “higher education market” and promising new edges in quality higher education. The newly started higher education institutions (HEIs) face the challenges of competing with the legacy well-established HEIs. In addition to the creation of innovative study programs, the key factor in gaining credibility is by showing isomorphic features of those legacy institutions. The institutional development of new organizations has been thoroughly studied through institutional theory. The coercive, mimetic, and normative process has been studied in HEIs. As most of the newly HEIs use one of the well-established educational enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems available in the market. The embedded processes in the ERPs define common operational features in the HEIs. Such operational similarities lay ground for the newly HEIs to gain recognition and acceptance and look similar to the legacy HEIs. This paper will highlight the role of educational management information systems (the educational ERP) in the institutional isomorphism processes in the newly started HEIs.
