Abstract:

Purpose. Development of a management strategy for a domestic university on principles of social responsibility for raising its competitiveness in the globalization and internationalization context of higher education.

Methodology. The use of a dialectical method, system, structural-functional and institutional approaches as well as analysis, synthetic, comparison and expert evaluation techniques allows identifying a structure and functions of social responsibility of a university and a mechanism for its implementation in the internal and external environment.

Findings. Today’s reality demands from a university to play a key role in the development of human capital assets and dissemination of social responsibility values in society, which is possible in case of improving university’s competitiveness in the globalization and internationalization context of higher education. The authors of the article used their own administrative experience and knowledge in designing a strategy for raising competitiveness of a university as a socially responsible organization. They developed a mechanism for implementation of the above strategy through a university’s social responsibility structure with the help of a strategically focused internal audit conducted in a university management system. It is proved that this strategy can be implemented through corporate culture of a university by inculcating social responsibility values in participants of the educational process.

Originality. To raise competitiveness of a university in the context of global challenges, its management strategy was developed on principles of social responsibility, which can be implemented through corporate culture by cultivating responsibility values in participants of the educational process. An authorial approach is proposed for setting internal audit objectives, based on identification and grouping of interests of the main groups of parties involved, their grouping and comparative analysis made with allowance for their interests and ways of influencing the university development. Some functional areas of an internal audit and its implementation algorithm are pointed out with consideration for operational specifics of a higher educational institution.

Practical value. The use of obtained results in educational and managerial practices allows creating a model of social responsibility of a university and outlining its implementation directions; developing and introducing a control mechanism for implementation of social responsibility actions; examining the development level of university corporate culture and proposing ways of its further development, aimed at raising competitiveness of higher educational institutions in the globalization context.
