    Abstract

    The information technology developments of the last fifteen years enabled organizations to become capable of collecting data and information about the performance levels of best-in-class organizations. Therefore, organizations
    can continuously compare and measure their performance against best performers and as a result gain information, which will help take appropriate action to improve performance. This systematic process of identifying and implementing best or better practices, known as benchmarking, is a basic tool used to implement business excellence models and inevitably higher education institutes have expressed their interest. This article examines the strategic importance of benchmarking as a tool for achieving excellence in higher education.
