Estimating of the impact of education internationalization factors on the competitiveness indicators of Russian universities

Objective: to assess the impact of indicators of intellectual capital derivatives on universities’ competitiveness.Methods: methods for studying the relationship of socio-economic phenomena, in particular the quantitative method for determining the closeness and direction of relationship between the sample variables (correlation analysis); regression analysis. Results: basing on the ranking data of the Russian Ministry of Education and RAEX ranking, a correlation analysis was performed of the degree of influence of intellectual capital derivatives on universities’ competitiveness. Taking into account the factors having the highest correlation with the ranking index, and using the multistage regression analysis, a regression model was found, describing the impact of factors on the ranking. The identified factors, that have a confirmed impact on the ranking functional, include: the number of higher education programs implemented in cooperation with foreign universities; the number of articles prepared jointly with foreign organizations; the number of foreign leading professors, lecturers and researchers. The group of these factors can be characterized as factors of internationalization of education and research activities of a university, and the model results not only confirm the positive impact, but also evaluate the impact of each indicator on the ranking functional value. Scientific novelty: by the sample of the most competitive Russian universities, the degree of the impact of internationalization factors on the ranking index was measured.Practical significance: the main provisions and conclusions of the article can be used in the scientific and educational activities of a university, in forecasting the future position of the university in the ranking depending on the factors of intellectual capital derivatives, as well as for forming the personnel, scientific and educational strategies and policies of the university, including taking into account the trend of internationalization of education.
