Optimization procedures in the problem of marketing educational services at the stage of forming a policy for recruiting applicants to universities by V. A. Rogova, R. V. Shamin

“…An increase in this parameter contributes to the fact that the average USE score of enrolled students increases, but at the same time the number of students enrolled in places with full cost recovery decreases. An optimization problem is considered, with the help of which it is possible to calculate the optimal value of this parameter.A game-theoretic mathematical model is proposed for modeling the influence of marketing activities and random factors on the result of a new set, with the help of which it is possible to form a ranked list of activities and the optimal allocation of resources. …”
