Abstract

The purpose of this exploratory study is two-fold. The first objective is to analyze the environment and opportunities for capitalist-oriented business education in Belarus, the former Soviet country that has chosen the reestablishment of state control and political dictatorship as a viable platform for its transition economy (Aslund, 2002). The second objective is to examine successful business instruction in a unique setting such as Belarus to help educators world-wide understand techniques available for tailoring business education to each programs’ individual needs. These unique needs can be determined by a variety of factors including location, population, economic orientation, and local belief systems. The paper presents a case study of the Institute for Privatization and Management (IPM), an institution that has successfully provided capitalist-oriented business education in Belarus for 15 years. Process tracing and controllable comparison are the methods of inquiry. The paper presents a historical overview of IPM development, its curriculum, teaching methodology, and implications of the IPM experience for any educational program that is addressing the needs of the non-traditional businessman.
