Gestão sustentável de recursos financeiros: um estudo de caso na Universidade Metodista Unida de Moçambique – UMUM

Abstract

This study “Sustainable Management of Financial Resources in Private Higher Education Institutions: The Case of UMUM”, examines the dynamics of financial sustainability in private higher education. Focusing on UMUM as a case of study, the research analyzes how the institution manages its financial resources to maintain economic viability, ensure finance balance, and sustain its academic operations over time. A quantitative research design was employed, integrating the case study method with data collection through structured questionnaires and documentary review. The analysis aims to identify key challenges in UMUM’s financial management, including resource constraints, reliance on external funding, and the adequacy of investment decisions. The study proposes strategic recommendations to enhance financial efficiency and institutional resilience. By addressing these factors, the research contributes to strengthening private higher education in Mozambique, promoting long-term sustainability and positive impacts on the university and the wider academic community
