Subject. The paper deals with the economic analysis of university spatial networking. Objectives. The purpose is to work out methods for economic analysis of spatial network of higher education institutions based on the European experience and information sources of the space location of universities in the EU countries. Methods. The study rests on theoretical analysis of the higher education institutions network as a spatially localized system, economic and statistical techniques of sampling and grouping, methods for comprehensive economic indicators of distribution, indexing, and ranking. Results. We underpinned approaches to the university network development as part of the science-push and the local development driver model; developed information support and methods for economic analysis of spatial organization of university networks; presented and tested the methodology for assessing the university spatial networking. Conclusions. The offered methods enable to obtain the estimates of even distribution of universities across a country, which is achieved by the country policy. These methods may be recommended for sound management decisions and strategies for higher education institutions development, spatial and socio-economic growth, policies designed to equalize the level of social and economic development of subjects of the Russian Federation.

Purpose This study aims to examine the extant literature to analyze the relationship between quality assurance (QA) and innovation in the higher education context. Design/methodology/approach This study selected 63 articles through a systematic literature review in Scopus and Web of Science databases and performed a descriptive and thematic synthesis-analysis on the sample. Findings The research identifies several perspectives discussed on QA systems covering experiences, criticisms and practice implications. The literature review shows there is no clear consensus on whether innovation in higher education institutions (HEIs) is fostered or hindered by QA processes. However, it seems that the likelihood of innovativeness and positive QA outcomes are directly linked to how these processes are managed in universities. Research limitations/implications This review highlights the university management concerns that emerge with QA issues as it is not yet clear to what extent innovation is actually promoted in scenarios where QA is applied. Hence, this literature review could be considered comprehensive but not exhaustive. Further studies are recommended to improve the understanding of how HEIs can both innovate and ensure quality at the same time. Originality/value The paper contributes to the existing body of knowledge by advancing the opportunities and challenges that HEIs face due to QA system features.

Subject. This article explores the need of public sector organizations, and universities in particular, to classify the source data to conduct a reliable and trustworthy analysis of their financial stability. Objectives. The article aims to develop information support for a comprehensive economic analysis of the financial stability of the university by determining the sources of data used to analyze its financial stability. Methods. For the study, I used the methods of analysis, synthesis, and comparison. Results. Based on the study of accounting (financial) reporting indicators, the article proposes to determine three levels of data systematization, i.e. managerial, departmental, and public ones. The article substantiates proposals to clarify the provisions of the Instructions on the preparation, presentation of the annual, quarterly accounting of State (municipal) budgetary and autonomous institutions for economic analysis of the financial stability of public sector institutions. Conclusions. The current state of the methods used to assess financial stability makes it difficult to widely disseminate and implement them in the analytical activities of public sector institutions, including universities. Practical application of the original developments by grouping data sources to analyze the financial stability of the university, as well as the division of these groups into levels will help provide the most objective assessment, which will have a high degree of confidence in the assessment of the financial sustainability of budgetary and autonomous institutions of higher education.

In the Slovak Republic, on the basis of legislative conditions, the Higher Education Act does not give the possibility to direct the management of public higher education institutions towards the fulfillment of their goals and thus to adapt effectively to the current situation and challenges. This is characterized by processes and structures that are duplicate, problematic or ambivalent, which ultimately prevents public higher education institutions from autonomously receiving and fulfilling their mission. It is therefore important that alternative management trends are introduced into the governance structures to help the development of public higher education institutions. We consider the use of marketing strategic management as such an element. Thus, the use of this type of management can ultimately benefit the university in the form of the required number of pupils. It can also contribute to improving the quality and supply of education, information and information.

In the present era of globalisation, higher-education institutions are required to focus on innovation to deal with the various challenges. Considering what Islamic higher-education institutions in Indonesia, have achieved in recent times, they face an uphill struggle to compete at the global level. This study aimed at identifying and analysing the dynamics of resilience for globalisation in a state Islamic–University in Indonesia. The results of studies on the management of Islamic tertiary institutions, specifically on organizational resilience, are very difficult to find. This study used the qualitative analysis method of a case-study and comprised in-depth interviews with key people concerned with the management of the university, observation, and secondary data namely academic documents, photos, and information from the university’s official website. The findings showed the university’s continuous efforts to improve not only the academic community’s management skills, knowledge, and expertise but also the implementation of international-curriculum standardization and cooperation with overseas universities. These actions cannot be separated from obstacles faced by university from within and without particularly in terms of funding-related policies. The university’s program-based innovations which are yet to be carried out by other Islamic-universities in Indonesia indicate this institution’s initiative to break the obstacles.

The paper presents the issues of higher education institutions research activities efficiency and financing. Empirical data on the Russian higher education institutions research activities efficiency have been investigated. A new model for higher education institutions research activities public financing has been suggested. The model developed a methodology for calculating subsidies for basic, guaranteed funding of scientific activities of universities, designed to compensate for the cost of simple reproduction of their scientific potential. The integral index, which allows accounting the influence of statistically significant factors on the total amount of research and development work performed by the University, is formed and justified by methods of econometric modeling. The proposed approach allows us to calculate the amount of guaranteed funding for the scientific activities of each university in the planning period with a known amount of financial resources allocated for the basic financing of scientific activities of universities in the country.
