This chapter discusses the role of corporate universities in the field of higher education and the impact of the same on conventional or traditional universities and their corresponding business schools. This chapter also proposes some strategic actions for the traditional universities to pursue in order to maintain competitive advantage over the emerging corporate universities. Some of these strategic actions include promoting and developing strong long-term and multipurpose strategic alliances with the industry, government institutions, and community development groups. Collaborative strategies are better than competitive behavior in terms of long-term benefits and costs associated with each of these strategies. Moreover, being in the forefront of learning innovation and knowledge management combined with the provision of high quality education and trainings through innovative, diverse, and flexible academic and training programs will help the traditional universities to remain the main supplier of knowledge in times to come.

There is a growing recognition by senior managers in many large organizations of the strategic impact that corporate universities are having on their companies. This can be viewed as a consequence of many organizations recognizing the power of learning and knowledge as fundamental drivers of strategic change. The authors contend that this growing recognition is leading to the emergence of more sophisticated forms of corporate university, which are predicated on the principles of organizational learning and knowledge management. In order to explore this issue a model of an ideal type corporate university is developed. This model is then applied to two case illustrations of corporate universities in the UK.

Многие современные компании средних или крупных размеров понимают роль образования сотрудников в развитии компании и включают внутреннее обучение сотрудников в сферу своей деятельности, выделяя специальные кадры для обучения, оценки и развития образовательного уровня персонала. При этом все большее распространение получает практика корпоративных университетов. В нашей стране они функционируют при таких компаниях, как ПАО «Газпром», ПАО «Сбербанк», Госкорпорация «Росатом», ОАО «УГМК», ПАО «Полюс». Для национальных компаний обучение сотрудников становится предпосылкой развития их конкурентоспособности. Многие исследователи отмечают, что из-за постоянного роста конкуренции и серьезного демографического спада в стране компании сталкиваются с нехваткой высококвалифицированных сотрудников. В этих условиях обучение внутри компании является возможным средством решения проблем нехватки квалифицированной рабочей силы. В статье рассмотрена получившая все большее распространение практика корпоративных университетов, внедренная в крупнейших компаниях ПАО «Газпром», ПАО «Сбербанк», Госкорпорация «Росатом», ОАО «УГМК», ПАО «Полюс». Рассмотрено содержание термина «корпоративное обучение». Отмечено, что большая часть программ обучения в ПАО «Полюс» проводится Корпоративным университетом, объединяющем все обучающие и образовательные курсы для руководителей, специалистов и рабочих. По мнению авторов целесообразно для компании в сфере золотодобычи внедрение модели «10:20:70» в несколько модифицированном варианте. Many modern companies of medium or large sizes understand the role of employee education in the development of the company and include internal employee training in the scope of their activities, allocating special personnel for training, evaluating and developing the educational level of personnel. At the same time, the practice of corporate universities is becoming more widespread. In our country, they operate under such companies as PJSC Gazprom, PJSC Sberbank, State Corporation Rosatom, OJSC UMMC, and PJSC Polyus. For national companies, employee training becomes a prerequisite for the development of their competitiveness. Many researchers note that due to the constant growth of competition and the serious demographic decline in the country, companies face a shortage of highly qualified employees. In these circumstances, in-house training is a possible means of addressing the shortage of skilled labor. The article considers the increasingly widespread practice of corporate universities, implemented in the largest companies of PJSC Gazprom, PJSC Sberbank, State Corporation Rosatom, JSC UMMC, PJSC Polyus. The content of the term "corporate training" is considered. It is noted that most of the training programs at PJSC Polyus are conducted by the Corporate University, which combines all training and educational courses for managers, specialists and workers. According to the authors, it is advisable for the company in the field of gold mining to introduce the "10:20:70" model in a slightly modified version.
