Abstract

Business Education in Ukraine based on Open Standards and Partnerships/Global University System

Takeshi Utsumi, Global University System (GUS)
Paul Lefrere, Open University, UK
Ihor Katernyak, Victoria Loboda, Ivan Vasyunyk, Lviv Institute of Management, Ukraine

Global University/ Ukraine (GU/UA) consists of educational institutions,
corporations, and non-profit organizations partnering together to build value
through the innovative application of new information technology to education.
It assists universities, schools and businesses in using multimedia,
telecommunications networking technologies to promote their product and
services in the INTERNET environment.

Our goals are:
* broaden the scope of educational services by implementing the WEB
technologies to make business education and research more efficient,
accessible, and interaction;
* develop academic programs for distance learning on the basis of the
Partnership for Providing University Education and Professional Development
Globally and Equitably;
* provide professional development in distance education;
* create common course portfolio, develop professional certificate programs,
and distribute them to students, entrepreneurs, managers and corporations.

The partners of GU/UA from all over Ukraine have developed business courses,
including Project Management, Operational Management, Advanced Marketing,
International Business, Firm Start-Up, Business Communication, E-Commerce,
Decision Making and Risk Analysis, Project Expert as a Financial Modeling
Tool. It effectively employs the new pedagogy and information technologies in
business and management education in Ukraine; and models the new learning
environment for other fields of the education system of Ukraine. With the help
of a special scholarship program we are providing equal access to learning for
such people who need it but have no possibility to study in a traditional way
(women taking care of children, rural population, militarymen, disabled etc.).
Thus, Distance Learning for professional and business development is available
on the Internet this year in Ukraine.

GU/UA consolidates all professionals at the highest standards of business
education. In such a way that the GU/UA is not only an educational service
provider, but also a public union addressed to identify how excellence in
higher education can be defined and achieved in the third millennium.
