Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of the study is to investigate the process of evolution of higher education and science in the conditions of digitalization, to identify the problems arising in this process and to determine the prospects for their solution. Design/methodology/approach: The authors rely on the methodology of institutional economic theory, which makes it possible to consider the process of institutionalization of evolutionary (modernization) practices implemented in the higher education system under conditions of digitization. The authors are also guided by a systematic approach to scientific research. According to this approach, the authors consider the system of higher education and science as a component element of the economic system of the region and as a link in the value chain of digital product. The research is based on the modern experience of the regions of the North Caucasus Federal District of the Russian Federation (2019). Findings: It is shown that in modern Russia the process of evolution of higher education system and science in the conditions of digitalization faces serious external barriers—“institutional traps”. These are caused by the directive course of the digitalization of the Russian economy, which was initiated by the state and was poorly supported by entrepreneurship and society. Originality/value: It has been substantiated that the prospects for overcoming the “institutional traps” of the evolution of higher education and science in the conditions of digitalization in Russia are connected with the harmonization of the evolution of higher education and science with the development of the labour market in the region and regional entrepreneurship.
