Kyiv master’s of business administration programs have had to adjust to the realities of war and they’re not all that harsh, as it turns out.

Managers’ll have to get that knowledge at their own expense, as recession-battered businesses no longer have the costs for education perks. For instance, almost all the current MBA students at the Kyiv School of Economics pay for their studies.

“Companies are not able to pay for their employees but people understand the need to invest in themselves,” said Yuliya Tychkivska, the school’s vice president, management education.

The Kyiv School of Economics on April 15 launched Ukraine’s newest masters’s of business administration program. The aim is to provide affordable education to fill the country’s shortage of skilled middle managers, particularly those who can speed European integration.

Most current MBA programs are targeted at the executive level with a focus on philosophy, vision and strategy.  “This focus is great, but at the same time there are no programs oriented for those who do the actual job, middle management, the ‘doers’,” Tychkivska said.

“The purpose of KSE’s program is not just education. It aims to develop a new Ukrainian generation, which is very important for me, as I’m doing the same with students,” Cherviachenko said.

To develop the MBA program, the Kyiv School of Economics invited an international advisory board of academics and business leaders who understand what skills their managers lack, said Sergiy Gvozdiov, a professor and academic director of management education at the school.
