The genesis of efficiency in economics
Abstract
Based on a critical analysis of approaches of various researchers, the evolution of the essence of the concept of "efficiency" is determined in the article, aspects of this category in relation to the field of higher education are considered. It is noted that the problem of analyzing the effectiveness of business entities in the economic literature is well covered. A large number of researchers consider various aspects of the formation of the effectiveness of organizations in various industries and fields of activity in relation to a variety of conditions. At the same time, the issues of the effectiveness of institutions of higher education cause some discussion. The functioning and development of universities and ensuring their competitiveness are impossible without the formation of their effectiveness, including in modern conditions under the influence of universal digitalization of all spheres of activity. The new technological paradigm of higher education generates new conditions for the formation of their effectiveness, new factors, tools and criteria, that determines the interest in the subject of this research. The result of the analysis is the structuring of scientific and methodological approaches to the concept of "efficiency", which later allowed defining the effectiveness of a university.
