Summary/Abstract: This systematic literature analysis investigates the impact of digital transformation (DT) on Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), with a comparative focus on the public and private sectors. The study explores the evolving landscape of DT within HEIs and assesses its implications for both public and private institutions. Drawing on a comprehensive review of existing literature, the analysis synthesises findings from diverse scholarly sources to provide insights into the similarities and differences in the adoption and outcomes of DT between public and private HEIs. The review identifies key themes and trends in the literature, including the drivers of DT adoption, the challenges encountered, and the strategies HEIs employ to leverage digital technologies effectively. Additionally, the analysis examines the impact of DT on various aspects of HEIs, such as teaching and learning practices, administrative processes, and student engagement. By comparing the experiences of public and private HEIs, the study aims to elucidate the factors influencing the success and effectiveness of DT initiatives in different institutional contexts. Through this comparative analysis, the study contributes to a deeper understanding of the implications of DT for HEIs. It provides valuable insights for policymakers, administrators, and educators seeking to navigate the complexities of digital transformation in higher education. The findings offer practical recommendations for enhancing the integration of digital technologies in both public and private HEIs to optimise educational outcomes and adapt to the evolving needs of students and society.
