Abstract
The dynamic changes taking place in the environment of higher education institutions make preparation and implementation of development strategies particularly important and even necessary. Strategies allow future-orientated actions and, in this way, transformation from administering to managing the higher education institutions. Universities provided with such strategies of development can compete better on educational market and also adapt to changes taking place in regulatory, demographic and socio-cultural sphere. Managing a higher education institution through the prism of a strategy might contribute to the improvement of teaching and research quality, better cooperation with other units, increasing the awareness of the challenges facing the university etc. The aim of this paper is to analyse development strategies of state schools of higher vocational education in Poland, and in particular their mission, vision and strategic objectives. Moreover, it was verified whether the development of schools was connected with socio-economic development on a regional and local level, in analysed strategy documents.
