Organizational changes in higher education institutions in the context of transformations.

At the beginning of the 21st century, information and knowledge are becoming a qualitatively new factor of production, which is fundamentally different from the traditional factors of land, capital and labor. While the industrial revolution created industrial technology and machinery, which led to an increase in labor productivity, the scientific and technological revolution of the late twentieth century turned information and knowledge into a new factor of production that increases the efficiency of both production and service provision. Such an economic model is the economic system of those countries where the information sector occupies a prominent place in the structure of the economy and has a decisive impact on the functioning of all other areas of activity through the use of highly skilled intellectual labor, investment in the development of information resources, creation of new information, knowledge as the main product of production activity. Today, against the backdrop of intensive development of the latest information technologies, the processes of economic transformation are unfolding, forming a new economic and social reality that Ukraine cannot ignore, since transformation processes, their adequate perception and participation of our country in these processes will determine Ukraine’s place in the global economy of the twenty-first century. In this regard, at the present stage, much attention is being paid to the study of the transformation of the governance system. This interest is also largely due to the intensification of information and integration processes in the economy, transnationalization of production activities, increased risks, and decreased profitability of many business segments. Education is of particular importance in this transformation. The search for new organizational forms for higher education institutions (HEIs) in Ukraine is an urgent process that requires finding effective solutions.
