Abstract
Inter-institutional networks become more and more important for today’s organizations. Despite mostly business-oriented organizations recognizing the possibilities that come with these networks, academic and educational systems are a typical example of inter-institutional network, and viewing these institutions as elements of a single network would yield positive results for all the parties. However, there is almost no research on the educational system as an inter-institutional network, especially in information system development education. The purpose of this chapter is to consider the education system as an inter-institutional network and to define the feedbacks existing within it in order to improve the network’s overall performance. Besides this the purpose is to find the data sets required for feedbacks analysis and appropriate methods for data analysis.
