Abstract

The primary objective of this study is to thoroughly investigate how information technology is utilized in effectively managing fixed assets within 24 universities located in a province. Moreover, the study aims to identify and examine the key challenges these universities encounter in this area. Data for this research was gathered through a comprehensive questionnaire survey distributed to the fixed asset management departments of the universities in a province composing urban and rural parts. Both quantitative and qualitative analysis techniques were employed to analyze the collected data. The analysis of the data revealed that despite some progress made in the implementation of information technology in these universities, a number of pressing issues and challenges remain. Particularly, the most noteworthy challenges include inadequate investment in information technology application, insufficient technical support, and inadequate employee training and awareness. The findings of this study yield valuable recommendations for universities as well as decision-makers, aiming to facilitate improvements in the management of information technology pertaining to fixed assets in order to enhance operational efficiency and optimize resource allocation. Future research endeavors should focus on exploring and developing effective measures to address these challenges, ultimately driving the modernization and sustainable development of fixed asset management practices in universities across a province for inclusivity.
