Various pieces of information and knowledge turn into “know-how” simply by their application in the market. This applies to all spheres of activities. It is therefore important to know and understand the requirements of customers already in the stage of making a product, and to confront these with the possibilities of a producer. In this article we are exploring the possibilities of a better understanding of the requirements of customers and stakeholders in the process of the creation of products in educational services. In particular, we examined seven general requirements: practice orientation, ethical orientation, research orientation, quality resources, innovation orientation, skills orientation, and quality staff. We use the Kano model on a pilot sample of respondents at an institution of higher education. Our results showed that “practice orientation” and “quality resources” are the most stable requirements, while “quality staff” is the least stable. The most linear requirement (the same effect on satisfaction and dissatisfaction) is “innovation orientation”. “Research orientation” belongs to attractive requirements and we also found that in the case of “ethical orientation” there are weak relations between positive and negative responses in our survey. The “skills orientation” proved to be too general, and our research shows that it could be indifferent. It is therefore advisable to specify the investigated skills when investigating requirements on educational services. The main contribution based on the proposed research procedures is an effective linking of customers and producers already from the beginning of constructing a value chain. Investing in sophisticated management approaches when modelling products and processes can thus become a significant source of the competitive advantage of an educational institution. At the same time, it is a contribution to better placing of its graduates in the labor market.

The relevance of the study is conditioned by the fact that the highly effective organization of labor remuneration in the system of higher education is the main instrument of the activity of the educational institution, which assumes the creation of normal conditions for scientifi c and pedagogical workers as an important link in the system of higher education. At present, the basis of the concept of personnel management of a higher educational institution is the knowledge of the scientifi c and pedagogical worker, his motivational attitudes, the ability to form and direct them in accordance with the tasks facing the institution. Without current and subsequent analysis of labor incentives, it is impossible to solve personnel issues in educational activities. In this connection, the author discusses the reasons for the implementation of the goal of introducing an eff ective contract, the “road map” measures that should be followed in the transition to an eff ective contract, which determines the practical value of the study. It is substantiated that a large-scale introduction of an eff ective contract to all higher institutions will ensure not only the quality provision of educational services and the introduction of new educational programs, but will also allow for the systematic development of the education system and the competitive advantages of Russia in the world community. Scientific novelty is the development of an expanded approach to the effective organization of remuneration in higher education institutions, which should focus on the formation of performance indicators of scientifi c and pedagogical workers.
