Abstract: Several studies reveal that knowledge management is crucial in enabling institutions gain and maintain a competitive advantage. Yet, institutions must leverage their internal quality assurance mechanisms as a prerequisite for gaining and maintaining an edge over competitors. Based on this revelation, the paper set out to examine how knowledge management can be used to build strong internal quality assurance framework in HEIs basing on institutional theoretical perspective. Using an in-depth literature review, it was revealed that knowledge of external stakeholders should constitute part of the knowledge used in developing quality assurance policies. In addition, HEIs will also identify internal knowledge sources that enhance designing of quality assurance mechanisms that satisfy normative prescriptions. Moreover, HEIs that embrace mimetic isomorphism by copying and incorporating best practices from other institutions will likely improve the teaching, staff development and pedagogical quality. These institutional logics act in the best interest of the HEIs by providing critical linkages for knowledge management-internal quality assurance nexus.

Abstract: As an effective educational management tool, budget performance management in colleges and universities has become an important basis and management means for allocating educational resources and formulating corresponding educational policies. It plays an important role in promoting colleges and universities to improve their management level, cultivate outstanding talents and serve social development. In recent years, with the rapid development of higher education in our country, the financial expenditure in the field of education has gradually increased, the government departments have continuously increased their investment in financial education funds, and the state's investment in higher education has also increased year by year. In addition, with the reform of the "performance-oriented" financial expenditure management system, the relevant departments in China have also strengthened the performance management of colleges and universities. This paper sorts out the practice of financial fund performance evaluation in higher education at central and local levels in China since 1988, summarizes the experience and practice of financial fund performance evaluation in higher education in China, and thinks that further improvement is needed in legal system, evaluation consciousness, evaluation scope, evaluation index, evaluation subject, evaluation content and application of evaluation results, hoping to have certain reference value for improving the financial fund performance management in higher education in China.
