The role of corporate universities in the modern world

Abstract

The relevance of the research is due to the fact that corporate universities are experiencing an era of transformation today. Despite the rapid growth in the last 20 years of the population of corporate universities around the world, including in Russia, their global and regional associations are young and logically focus on the development of formats for the exchange of experience of their participants and, to a lesser extent, other tools for the institutionalization of the professional community. The subject of this research is to identify and review the main factors influencing the transformation of the role of corporate universities in the modern world, and the key global trends in corporate education to date. In the course of the work, the best practices and cases of the largest companies were analyzed. The empirical basis of the study was the cases of Sberbank Corporate University, Engie, Lufthansa, Unilever, GlobalCCU, etc. Each analyzed source was evaluated for the content of information about factors that affect and may affect corporate training, and global trends in the field of corporate training. The scientific novelty of the research consists in determining the factors influencing the trends of corporate training, their prioritization and a structured description of the identified factors and trends. The practical significance of this research lies in determining the role of a corporate university in the modern world, which will allow companies to form drivers of all transformations: business, operations, technologies and people.
