Management and Leadership Development Needs: The Case of Russia

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

This chapter gives insights into the current and future management and leadership development needs in companies operating in two Russian regions (the Moscow region and the Ural region). It also explains the missing links between the corporate world and management education institutions.

The research uncovered a declining interest of companies in long-term MBA-level programs on one side and a fairly high interest in short-term programs which allow participants to quickly apply the acquired knowledge and skills into practice on the other.

The emergence and development of corporate universities have changed the competitive conditions for traditional management education institutions. As a result, the latter should search for ways of working together with corporate universities.

This study identified a number of important aspects that traditional management education institutions should take into consideration. In particular, they should consider using new innovative learning and teaching methods and engaging practitioners to be part of the learning and teaching process.

There is a need for preparing lecturers and professors in multidisciplinary fields, despite the barriers that exist for this kind of approach at traditional universities. It seems that this demand can be met only by introducing new forms of cooperation between research and teaching subdivisions at the university level as well as collaboration between universities (including their constituent management education institutions) and companies.
