Abstract

In this article, the analysis of dynamics of risk degree of innovation-driven growth at higher education institutions is discussed. The survey has been employed in this paper and the data analyzed by SPSS software. Results revealed that the resulting risks are regularly encountered in a modern Russian higher educational institution: inability to provide necessary financial support for educational activities; inability to provide required modern material and technical basis; challenges and failures in collaboration with enterprises for organizing practical training for students and the absence of practical training programs at the university. It is also indicated that the risk event might lead to different results: negative, positive, or null (if everything went according to the plan).

Highlights

The sphere of higher education institutions in Russia is of particular research interest in new circumstances when observed as a specialist training system, from the perspective of possessing a risk management component
Modern higher professional education institutions of the country, which are struggling for rating and defending their status positions, should organize a severe attempt to develop the proper level of innovational culture, where demand for innovation should result by itself in most circumstances
It should be implied by the innovative development at the higher educational institution surveyed as a separate organization, that a university as a consumer introduces necessary developments on its own to satisfy their requirements while improving at educational, scientific and technical levels

Summary

Introduction

The sphere of higher education institutions in Russia is of particular research interest in new circumstances when observed as a specialist training system, from the perspective of possessing a risk management component. It is occasionally caused by unpreparedness and low ability of management of universities to influence public opinion, by underestimation of information support in innovational activity of universities in particular fields, incapacity to motivate the participants of social process, to apply technologies which assist in engaging the most promising staff from the perspective of their creativity (Bourdieu, 2016: 242; Sailaukyzy, et al 2018).
