COMPUTER SUPPORT FOR INNOVATIVE MANAGEMENT IN THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS OF HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS

Abstract

The paper is a theoretical study that explores conceptual foundations and practical significance of computer support in the innovative management of the educational process in higher education institutions. The researcher analyzes modern approaches to the digital transformation of educational management, focusing on the integration of information technologies into administrative and pedagogical activities. Drawing on works by M. L. Ilyina, N. V. Glazunova and T. V. Shapiro, the research outlines key elements of a theoretical model for applying digital tools in academic process regulation. The study identifies major challenges in implementing such technologies and suggests a framework for their effective use based on management innovation theory. The paper concludes that computer-supported innovation management contributes to increasing institutional adaptability, educational quality, and strategic development in the context of ongoing digitalization. The presented model may serve as a methodological foundation for further research and institutional practice improvement.
