Training Needs in Russian Industrial Companies: Assessment by CEOs

Author

Listed:
  • Igor Gurkov

Abstract

The article reports on the results of a recent survey of 740 Russian CEOs on their attitudes towards business education. It was found that the implied demand of Russian CEOs for managerial retraining is consistent, as retraining is seen as a remedy for current rather than fundamental problems in managerial efficiency, and it is insolvent as Russian companies currently are not ready for serious investment in human resources. In addition, there are low chances for dissemination of knowledge and skills within the company as Russian CEOs do not value coaching and mentoring. Some policy recommendations are provided.
