Abstract

Abstract. The transition to business and market basis has led not only to disintegration between the complex “university-industry” and blanket order for university “product”, but it has changed significantly the attitude to this product. Education is considered as a service, and alumni are fixed between a university and production where they play the dual role as a client and as an employee. Due to this fact, the problem of competitiveness of higher education has double nature, its solution is inapproachable in the first case, and it is unwanted in the other case. This article attempts to analyze the reasons of this situation and possible ways of reintegration of a unified system “university-industry”. The article outlines that integration of higher education and industry should not be restricted by organizational and technological aspect whereas it should take into account the social impacts of building strategies. The paper makes case that the renovation of a common space for vocational education and industry is possible in case the government integrates universities and industry as a general customer.
