- Abstract
The relevance of the research is determined by the demand of finding a framework for coordination of different stakeholders groups; to harmonize multidirectional interests and eliminate the conditions for the reproduction of the opportunistic behavior model. The interests of the educational system participants are multidirectional and sometimes are opposite. The degree of each stakeholder influence on the higher education system, as well as their mutual influence varies. In such circumstances the ground for opportunistic behavior is formed, which significantly reduces the potential and effectiveness of participants coordination in the higher education market. The research tested the stakeholder approach to the specification of forms of opportunistic behavior in higher education. The interests of each stakeholders’ group have their own projection on the higher educational system, as well as specific opportunities for their influence due to the position and importance in the system of higher education. The implementation of the stakeholders’ theory has a high cognitive potential, which allows to identify all stakeholders of higher education, to develop framework of different interests harmonization, taking into account the possible opportunistic actions in different stakeholders groups. Key stakeholders and forms of opportunism are identified; the characteristics of the possible influence and projection of interests on the higher educational system are described.
