Purpose

Existing literature has reported a barrier list that could affect the implementation of digital transformation in higher education, yet the research question of how to identify barriers remained unanswered. Thus, this study intended to address this gap.

Design/methodology/approach

The research design adopted a mixed-methods approach based on the problem-centered design science research (DSR) process model for the development and evaluation of framework.

Findings

This study proposed a systematic framework of three sets of components: (1) the initial set of barriers; (2) the barrier rating scheme and (3) the barrier scoring matrix. The three-component of the framework is to identify and prioritize barriers to the successful implementation of digital transformation in higher education.

Research limitations/implications

The evaluation of the framework was only based on an expert opinion.

Practical implications

This study provided a direction to the policymakers for designing sensible strategies to increase the chances of a successful digital transformation in higher education.

Originality/value

This study contributes to the knowledge body by offering a more systematic understanding of barriers to digital transformation in higher education.

高等教育机构数字化转型过程中的障碍诊断框架

目的

现有文献报道了可能影响高等教育数字化转型实施的障碍清单，但如何识别障碍的研究问题仍未得到解答。因此，本研究旨在解决这一差距。

设计/方法/方法

研究设计采用基于以问题为中心的设计科学研究（DSR）过程模型的混合方法方法进行框架的开发和评估。

发现

本研究提出了一个由三组组成部分组成的系统框架：（1）最初的一组障碍；(2) 障碍评级方案和 (3) 障碍评分矩阵。该框架的三个组成部分是确定并优先考虑在高等教育中成功实施数字化转型的障碍。

研究限制/影响

该框架的评估仅基于专家意见。

实际影响

这项研究为政策制定者设计合理的战略以增加高等教育成功数字化转型的机会提供了方向。

原创性/价值

本研究通过更系统地了解高等教育数字化转型的障碍，为知识体系做出了贡献。
