A lean (economical) startup as a new object of research for introducing lean management as a specific management concept in Russian universities, based on a system of standards in the field of lean manufacturing, is considered as an opportunity to increase the competitiveness of universities. The object of the research is lean management in higher education institutions as a source of increasing their competitiveness while the subject is a lean startup as a component of lean management in universities, where the beneficiaries are “external” and “internal” participants in the educational process; reflecting the competitive advantages of the university in the fields of innovative entrepreneurship, social sphere. The research aim is to update the development of lean management in higher education institutions; to clarify the participants of the lean management market in Russian universities. The methods include general scientific methods, analysis of the website of the Association of Lean Universities. The research information base covers the works in the Scientific Electronic Library, Google Scholar. As a result, the evolution of the development of lean management in universities, in the Russian educational space, is clarified based on the analysis of the works of researchers in the field of “Publication activity” from 2020 to the present; the concepts of lean management in universities and lean startup in the broad and narrow senses of the word are clarified. It is noted that the fundamental difference between lean management in universities in a narrow and broad senses is the presence of the university ecosystem, the network nature of all its participants’ interaction. The formed definition has methodological significance for the entire higher education system, including the need to adjust lean management standards taking into account the essence of education; the need to form standards for creating a new product based on lean management standards, according to the requirements of a specific area of the industrial partner (industry, services, healthcare, creative industries).
