Model of adaptive management for universities (in the context of internationalization and integration into global education)

The tasks of increasing the international competitiveness and export of Russian education within the framework of national development priorities are inextricably linked with the need to create a favorable environment for the adaptation of foreign students based on ecosystem and stakeholder approaches. The formation of an integral and multidimensional model of adaptive management of educational organizations should take place with full recognition of the values of not only external, but also internal internationalization, which requires the formation of long-term key cross-cultural competencies of all levels of employees. An important difference between adaptive management in an intercultural environment and change management in a monocultural organization is not in solving problems in a linear, mechanistic way, using an appropriate set of tools, but in using a more complex systemic approach, including joint decision-making, organizational learning, and other mechanisms for organizational transformation, resulting in a culture that can help universities gain a competitive edge in global education. Authors offer a detailed analysis of the factors and priorities of the necessary organizational changes for universities in developing intercultural literacy skills for all participants and stakeholders with further transformation into the competence of cultural intelligence. The competencies of cultural intelligence become especially important in the context of the transformation of the globalized world into a post-globalist world, where cultural diversity becomes the key value.Originally published in https://ruservices.rgutspubl.org/index.php/1/article/view/27
