Purpose: This paper aims to underpin the importance of the availability (or absence) of campus management information (CMI) in supporting universities’ goals. Design/methodology/approach: Four perspectives of campus management were used to develop a structured survey enquiring campus managers about universities’ goals, finances, users and spaces. Its descriptive analysis distinguishes two domains: campus strategy and CMI. Findings: A total of 14 participant universities in nine countries provided substantial data, increasing the available CMI in each of the four perspectives compared with previous research. Three goal-related patterns driving the strategies of universities and their campuses were identified across competitive, social, economic and environmental performance aspects. Accordingly, particular CMI is discussed. Research limitations/implications: The paper’s overarching approach in four perspectives challenged the collection of data, which needed to be retrieved from different departments in the organisation, with different domains (human resources, finance, facilities and organisational strategy), lingo and accountability cultures. Originality/value: These findings improve the current understanding of university campuses as strategic resources enabling a variety of university goals and missions in today’s knowledge-based economy, society and cities. Moreover, the authors discuss that a more structural approach to collecting CMI may benefit universities to identify critical aspects of campus management supporting their strategies from which performance indicators can be derived and shared among campus managers with similar strategies to make better future decisions.

支持大学战略校园管理的信息

目的：本文旨在强调校园管理信息（CMI）的可用性（或缺失）对支持大学目标的重要性。设计/方法/方法：校园管理的四个角度用于进行结构化调查，向校园管理者询问大学的目标，财务，用户和空间。其描述性分析区分两个领域：校园策略和CMI。研究结果：9个国家的14所参与大学总共提供了大量数据，与以前的研究相比，从四个角度来看，可用的CMI均有所增加。在竞争，社会，经济和环境绩效方面，确定了三种与目标相关的驱动大学及其校园战略的模式。因此，讨论了特定的CMI。研究的局限性/意义：本文从四个角度探讨的总体方法对数据收集提出了挑战，需要从组织中不同部门，不同领域（人力资源，财务，设施和组织战略），语言和问责文化中检索数据。独创性/价值：这些发现提高了对大学校园作为战略资源的当前理解，实现了当今基于知识的经济，社会和城市中各种大学目标和使命。而且，
