IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY OF MANAGING HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS: RESEARCH ANALYSIS

Abstract

The problem of improving the efficiency of managing higher education institutions has recently acquired special significance. Russia's confrontation with Western countries, which has significantly intensified in recent years, has led to the fact that Russian universities are no longer considered not only in the ratings of world foreign agencies, but also began to be excluded in general, as well as Russian papers from the collections of scientific research abroad. As a result, trying to remain on the lists of universities of foreign rating agencies, domestic universities perform largely useless work. In this regard, Russian universities lose time and money trying to achieve an increase in their position in foreign rankings. The paper aims to analyze the research of domestic and foreign scientists in the field of improving the effectiveness of ma-naging educational institutions and to develop conceptual provisions to improve the quality of managing higher education institutions in Russia. Materials and methods. The paper considers the most significant studies of Russian and foreign scholars, who have studied the issues of higher education institutions deve-lopment management in certain years, as well as some analytical articles and materials that aim to achieve similar results. It also uses well-known methods of analysis and comparison of various studies traditionally used in the field of management. Results. The paper presents the research analysis and comparison of works on improving the quality of management of Russian and foreign higher education institutions. Conclusion. The formation of conceptual provisions to improve the efficiency of managing higher education institutions in Russia should be focused not only and not so much on improving the ratings of universities, but on making their activities much more productive. This can only be achieved by ensuring that universities develop in accordance with the key objectives of the development of the respective regions and the country as a whole, and are focused not on secondary, but on key technical directions of promising the dynamics of the national economy.
