DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS EDUCATION IN UKRAINE

Business education is the kind of occupational education of high demand. Business education is a relatively new phenomenon in the Ukrainian market of educational services. The constant increase in the need to update knowledge and the increase in requirements for its quality under the conditions of globalization of the educational space require a corresponding offer in the market. The growth of competition in the context of increasing the influence of global factors of the international environment requires to utilize the efficient methods of attracting and retaining customers in most world markets as well as in the markets of Ukraine. Business education is one of the most dynamic sectors of the educational field. The processes of providing services in the business education market require the study and development of certain criteria and standards. The failure of higher educational institutions to solve the development problems of enterprises in the conditions of hyperinflation created the necessity of mastering new market knowledge and skills in the shortest possible time. The experience of economically developed countries also points to the fact that education in entrepreneurship and management is one of the most important factors to successfully complete the transition period to the market economy. However, the foreign experience requires adaptation and rethinking in order to apply the integration of Ukrainian education into the world educational space. During the last decade, Ukrainian business education has demonstrated the activity, dynamism and abilities associated with the assimilation of foreign experience. The significant advantage was the absence of negative attitudes toward any managemental schools of science in particular. In a good sense, such whateverism made it possible to accumulate the educational experience of managers in both American and European business schools. Both occupational education as a whole and business education as an integral part of it are undoubtedly the most important factors of economic growth and socio-economic development at the present stage of the transition to an innovative type of economy. The term "business education" is traditionally understood as supplementary education programs, the top of which are MBA programs. The classical understanding of MBA (Master of Business Administration) is post-graduate specialized occupational training of managers of the highest qualification in the field of business. The urgent character of business education in the national practice is countered by the almost completely irregular way of providing this extremely important type of modern education. The point at issue is that at both the state and private levels, business education should become increasingly more international in its nature.
