Abstract:

Innovativeness is often considered to be a key factor of  increasing a company’s performance on competitive market and a way of transforming knowledge into commercial value in product, process, organisation and marketing dimensions of a company’s activity. This also implies to innovations in the sphere of tertiary education, when growing of competition on global educational market  and growth of digital economy requires significant changes in universities starting from basic, sectoral innovations to implementing strategic cross-university projects. This paper  explores multidimensional character of  innovation activity in HEIs and provides empirical studies of how even sectorial innovations embrace several dimensions of innovations and affect integral innovative indicators of the University.
