Abstract |
Growing competition in the rapidly developing information society and global economy poses new challenges before businesses. Corporate sector is becoming more and more aware of the decisive role which highly qualified human resources play in the successful functioning of companies in national and international markets The search for new ways and mechanisms of training employees lead to the creation of corporate university as an advanced form of organizational learning. In view of the importance of this innovative educational phenomenon and the diversity of ways of its realization, the authors aim to analyze the structural models of corporate universities classified by scientists based on different criteria. The methodology of the research was based on interdisciplinary and systemic approaches. We used a complex of interrelated methods: comparative, structural, systemic-functional analysis, comparison and synthesis which are suitable for the study of scientific papers, official documents, empirical data. Particular attention is focused on the main classifications which are based on the availability of campus, the way of subordination of the university in the organization's hierarchy, form and degree of centralization of control over the corporate university. Organizational features of corporate university in the United States of America are highlighted. The authors conclude that, despite the differences between companies, particularly, in the areas of activity, missions and strategic goals, modern corporate universities in all their structural diversity become a mechanism of professional training and development, which, on the one hand, performs the function of the development of the organization aimed at ensuring its competitiveness and, on the other hand, - the function of development of employees and motivating them to continuous professional growth, which is the basis of their personal competitiveness. Thus, corporate university can be considered as a link between the sustainable development of the company and the individual continuous professional development of employees. |
