Global Transformation of Higher Education: From Traditional to Entrepreneurial University

In the last few decades, there has been a radical change in the paradigm of universities – from organizations engaged in teaching and conducting basic research to institutions that actively interact with the real sector and commercialize the results of intellectual activity. In the scientific literature, this new model was called an "entrepreneurial university". The main hypothesis is the assumption that there is a global trend of turning traditional universities into entrepreneurial ones, as well as integral external drivers of this process. The purpose of this study is to describe the mechanisms of the university sector transformation in different countries, both at the national level and on the example of individual universities. The methodology of the work combines several research areas: a review of theoretical concepts of the university's activity format evolution; the study of key state tools for the transformation of the university sector; a comparative analysis of statistical data illustrating the cooperation of university science with the business sector; consideration of illustrative examples or cases of university transformation into world-class entrepreneurial universities. The main results and conclusions include the following provisions. First, the deployment of multi-stage mechanisms for creating centers of technological growth of regional and sometimes national economies based on individual universities or their consortia has become a global practice. Secondly, statistical indicators show the existence of a noticeable trend of strengthening cooperation between private companies and universities in conducting R&D, which indicates a gradual reorientation of the latter towards solving applied research tasks that are in demand in the market. Thirdly, the process of universities transforming into entrepreneurial organizations can occur in various ways, but the vital factor is the presence of a real demand for the results of university research and development. The described cases can have practical application when drawing up a strategy for the transformation of Russian universities into entrepreneurial universities.

Стратегия трансформации медицинского ВУЗа в исследовательский университет

The transformation of medical universities into research universities is one of the promising models for the development of organizations of higher and postgraduate medical education.

COVID-19: ПРОБЛЕМИ ТА ПЕРСПЕКТИВИ ІНТЕРНАЦІОНАЛІЗАЦІЇ ЗВО

The article seeks to discuss the issues of internationalization for higher education institutions that arose with the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, in particular, the suspension of both student and staff academic mobility. However, academic mobility is the fundamental premise for the internationalization of higher education where students who cross borders with the desire to change their lives and the strive for better prospects are the most critical element of this mobility. The mobility of all the education process participants has become an important driver in ensuring and promoting education transparency and the access to quality education for everyone. In fact, within the past six months, prospective students are increasingly changing their intentions to study abroad, or defer their enrolment plans for subsequent years. The aim of this paper is to explore possible solutions for further implementation of internationalization principles into all university's activities framework under the quarantine and post-quarantine period. The research findings from the in-depth analysis of a range of higher education institution performances have revealed that one of the most promising areas to enhance university internationalization is a shift from actual to virtual mobility which is based on communication within the information and educational environment. In particular, the design of new competitive online courses in English and their large-scale promotion on the international market is another priority objective for internationalization during the quarantine. Apparently, University positioning in a virtual environment is a crucial factor to build attractiveness and competitiveness of higher education institutions in the global settings.

Developing the Personal Potential of Academic Staff and Higher Education Applicants as an Integrated Criterion for the Performance and Effectiveness of University Management

The development of the personal potential of academic staff and higher education applicants as an integrated criterion for the effectiveness and efficiency of university management is substantiated in the article. To give ground to his position, the author proceeded from determination of the effectiveness and efficiency of university activities. The effectiveness of university activities is defined as the degree of compliance with the result secured by the goal it pursued. The efficiency of university activities is a qualitative indicator that determines the degree of use of resources (human, material, financial, etc.) in achieving a particular result. Methodological incorrectness of determination of efficiency of university activities by formal criteria is emphasized. In particular, the diploma of higher education regardless of the level of competence and development of the personal potential of its owner. The impossibility of correct differentiation in the value expression of the results of educational and scientific activities of the university is proved. The necessity of defining and substantiating alternative criteria that would orient the management to ensuring the effective and efficient operation of the higher education institution is kept current. In case of incorrect appeal to quantitative criteria, it is suggested for the management to focus on evaluation of criteria in determining the results of university activities. Assessment scales of such relevance are recommended. They should guide the management of a higher education institution to improve the activities. At the same time, the improvement of results should be achieved not at any cost of resources, but at the minimum permissible without deteriorating their quality. It is noted that only with the use of such methodological approach the efficiency of the university's activity as a guarantee of its competitiveness can increase. The competitiveness of the university is proposed to be considered as an integrated indicator of corporate competence of all participants of its activities, including managers, academic staff and applicants for higher education.
 It is emphasized that unlike other resources that are inevitably spent, human resources in the process of their use are self-renewing and developing. Self-renewal and the development of human resources or human capital are better the more developed the personal potential of university participants is. In addition, the level of development of the personal potential of higher education applicants is the current and final result of the university's educational activities. The more advanced personal potential the university graduates have, the more productive they will be in their careers, therefore, more expensive in terms of value and vice versa. After all, the more productive persons with higher education, the more productive the society in which they work is and the more prosperous life in such a society is. In its turn, the development of the personal potential of higher education applicants in the learning process depends directly on the level of personal capacity development of the academic staff with whom they interact. Not only the effectiveness of educational but also scientific activities depends on the personal potential of academic staff.
