Abstract
A systematic way of assessment of overall quality of the complex hierarchy structure is presented. These qualities form marketability of implementation of foreign students’ pre-university training educational programs for ultimate management decision-making. Overall quality of the system is formed through experimentally established individual qualities in accordance with the levels of hierarchy by means of their resultant according to the functional Kolmogorov–Nagumo average. The system analyzed is presented in the form of 4-level structure with 19 parametrical variables, which define 15 system attributes. Quality assessment presented was realized in the form of MathCad files that were organized according to the hierarchy structure of the system. As main criteria to be evaluated several properties were selected with consideration of three criteria: marketability of the brand of the educational institution in the educational services market; the potential of the teaching staff participating in the realization of the educational program and financial stability of the educational program. This approach allows an immediate registration of changes in expert assessment in order to minimize subjective aspect of the decision made.
