Conscious management of transformations: a concept of innovative management of educational institutions

Justifying the relevance of the topic, the authors emphasise that education aimed at fulfilling the strategic objectives of economic development is determined, on the one hand, by the achievements of the basic sciences, and, on the other hand, by the development of production. The objective need to apply innovations in the management of educational institutions is determined by the Strategy for Sustainable Development of Ukraine until 2030, the transition of the EU countries (and in the future, Ukraine) to Industry 5.0, and the prospect of rebuilding the state in the face of a shortage of personnel. The author's concept is based on the following philosophical and methodological justifications of the regularity of innovative management of educational institutions: the need to change the theory and practice of managing an educational institution in a changing, increasingly integrated world, intensified global problems and crises; the principle of advanced development and the principle of innovation as principles of organisation and development of educational systems; the essence of mastering the technologies of future creation, advanced, innovative management, as well as the The study used a multidisciplinary approach; integrated various scientific areas; the results of theoretical research and practical activities. The authors distinguish between the concepts of innovation management in educational institutions (management of innovations in the educational process) and innovation management (management innovations). Innovation management is based on the theoretical provisions of general (system) management, management of organisations, is subject to the laws of innovation activity, at the same time it has its own specifics in the content, organisational and implementation aspects, due to sectoral characteristics (management of educational institutions).

The concept of innovative management of educational institutions reveals the following: concept, subjects, objects, purpose, tasks, principles, process and tools of innovative management of educational institutions. The objects of innovative management of an educational institution are classified according to the following criteria: by type of resources (material, intangible, financial, technical, time-space, labour); by element of the management system (purpose, functions, methods, procedures, technologies, organisational structures); by management function (analysis, forecasting, design, planning, organisation, motivation, stimulation, control); by management tools (management decision, management technology, organisational structure). Along with local, modular and systemic changes, the authors distinguish permanent changes as a conscious management of transformations that become possible due to the search, development, implementation of innovative changes in management of an educational institution and monitoring of their effectiveness. On the basis of generalisation of the main stages of search and development of innovative changes; stages of the process of development and adoption of managerial decision on innovation; institutional cycle of management activity; project technology, an algorithm for permanent implementation of innovative changes in the management of an educational institution is developed. Innovative management as a type of activity is represented by a set of the following management tools: innovative management decisions, innovative management technologies, application of innovative structures and infrastructure, development of individual and group receptivity to the new; formation of an innovative environment of an educational institution.
