Abstract

The purpose of the study was to identify and synthesise the interventions used to build the strategies for organising and managing research at universities that can be feasible in Ukraine. To achieve this purpose we provided a descriptive profile of the interventions and strategies used at universities to organise and manage research, rather than the detailed examination of substantive research results. The method of descriptive content analysis was applied to analyse empirical, experimental, review, conceptual, and commentary sources revealing strategies of organising and managing research at universities. The growth and corporate type strategies are dominant at universities, particularly in the USA and EU. The universities mainly seek cost-effective research opportunities that can help the institutions build a strong international brand. The policy of institutional strategic research management aimed at cooperation in research with other sectors seems to be the most feasible and appropriate for the Ukrainian research management context. Creating project management communities was found to be the second most feasible and appropriate strategy of organising and managing the university research in Ukraine. Financial criterion dominates in assessing the interventions for building a strategy of organising and managing research at universities. The university research can be stimulated at the state level through a demand-oriented reform that is aimed at reshaping the management of personnel, talent selection system, and personnel assessment.

Highlights

  • Strategies for organising and managing research have been increasingly important in building university research capacity at modern universities (Nguyen & Meek, 2015)

  • The problem of organising and managing the university research seems to be quite relevant for the context of the research at universities in Ukraine because this activity largely relies on the former Soviet regime-run model which stipulates that the research is conducted by separate, non-educational, government-funded entities that form a closed research community with its ‘rules of a game’ and privileged researchers working full-time (Kiopa et al, 2016)

Summary

Introduction

Strategies for organising and managing research have been increasingly important in building university research capacity at modern universities (Nguyen & Meek, 2015). The problem of organising and managing the university research seems to be quite relevant for the context of the research at universities in Ukraine because this activity largely relies on the former Soviet regime-run model which stipulates that the research is conducted by separate, non-educational, government-funded entities (institutions) that form a closed research community with its ‘rules of a game’ and privileged researchers working full-time (Kiopa et al, 2016). Universities are looking for and adopting feasible and transferable international strategies of organising and managing research at universities in Ukraine. This created the gap to be addressed by the present systemic review
