(This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.)
Declining financial support from government and projected declines in school enrollment have put tremendous pressure on higher education institutions. The situation is aggravated by the constant joining of some universities to others. As a result, not only the previously established relationships and contacts between alumni and partners, stakeholders are lost, but also the guidelines for strategic planning of the development of universities. There is a need to develop new brand strategies for new emerging universities. Recovery of lost or development of new brand benefits is required. Today, the university is not only an educational institution, but also a business that is in constant competition not only at the national level, but also at the international level, striving to differentiate itself in order to attract the best students, teachers and researchers. We understand that brand managers alone cannot create a strong brand image that has clear competitive advantages, differentiation, identification and, most importantly, a seductive idea among consumers. Branding is a long-term and multifaceted resource-intensive process of achieving a high-quality state of a university that meets the needs of the parties interested in its activities.
The article is devoted to the study of the conceptual foundations for building a university brand. As a conceptual basis for the university brand, an attempt was made to determine its elemental structure, which is presented in the article as the ecosystem of the university brand.
Keywords: university brand; university branding; university brand ecosystem.
