摘要：AbstractStrategic planning in higher education institution is a systematic planning process designed to guide decisions about the improvement of education and training, research and development, and application and service processes. It also provides the allocation of financial and other resources, and the procurement of new resources. There are two fundamental regulations in Turkey which oblige universities to prepare strategic plans and set methods of preparation. These regulations have some points in common as well as differences. This paper aims to analyze these two approaches by addressing differences and similarities, and discuss jointly applicability of them. Preparing reports according to both DPT and YÖDEK models causes trouble in practice for universities. Therefore, a single model to be prepared jointly by relevant ministries and the Council of Higher Education should be formed instead of implementation two distinctive models. This integrated model also facilitates benchmarking by determining common targets and indicators for higher education institutions.
