    Decision-Intelligent Educational Management and Sustainable Brand Performance: Insights from Ecuador
    This study analyzes how the joint use of information systems and economic analytics strengthens sustainable brand performance in Ecuadorian higher education institutions. The objective is to characterize levels of digital maturity and economic analytics and to relate them to perceived outcomes of sustainable marketing and ICT investment. An explanatory sequential mixed-methods design was implemented, combining a stratified survey of students, faculty, and staff with semi-structured interviews and document analysis. Results show heterogeneous digital maturity: 22% of institutions operate at a basic level (limited to email and office tools), 48% at an intermediate level (LMS, videoconferencing, CRM), and 30% at an advanced level (big data, predictive analytics, ERP). Economically, 42% rely on traditional financial indicators, 33% assess academic program profitability, and 25% apply predictive analytics, indicating a partial integration of information technology with managerial decision-making. Perceived outcomes of sustainable marketing include improved reputation (72%), community relations (67%), resource efficiency (59%), and student attraction (64%). ICT budgets rose from 12% to 18% between 2020 and 2024, prioritizing basic platforms over advanced technologies. Based on these findings, a practical, data-driven framework is proposed that connects academic, financial, and ESG indicators to guide managerial choices. The study concludes that the effectiveness of sustainable brand strategies depends on the alignment between digital maturity, evaluation culture, and institutional scale. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2027.

The methodology applied is a theoretical-practical study, with a quantitative research approach. The results obtained indicate that 60% of the national enrollment corresponds to public universities and polytechnic schools and are located in the provinces geographically more extensive and with greater economic resources. Finally, it is determined that 50% of the enrollment in the field of study of engineering, industry, telecommunications and construction is grouped in three provinces of Ecuador: Guayas, Pichincha and Manabí and in 8 universities and polytechnic schools, where the majority presence of men persists. © 2022 IEEE.
