the workshop on the subject "Managing in Creative Economy" will be held at the International Institute of Business. The quest speaker of IIB is professor ROBERT D. AUSTIN, dean of the faculty of business administration, New Brunswick University, Canada.

During the workshop Professor Austin will share with the participants his vision on why, since the advent of the Industrial Revolution, managers have improved business outcomes by improving reliability and efficiency. The management principles, processes, and practices derived during this time have been very successful in creating societal wealth and raising the standard of living around the world. More recently, a variety of factors, including technological advance, globalization of labor markets, and the rise of knowledge/experience economies have directed attention to a different set of principles, processes, and practices: those that lead to "creative" outcomes. Creative firms" produce value, not by generating similar outputs efficiently, but by generating novel outputs more valuable than their predecessors. This interactive session in a workshop format examines the nature of work and management that can consistently produce valuable creative outcomes. We’ll consider cases across industries and organizations, and discuss an emergent set of practices common in creative companies.

While the government dedicated its scarce resources to managing external risks in relations with Russia, the overall level of domestic security risks is increasing

President Yanukovych’s administration has recently intensified its activity in the reformation of the country’s security sector. The reform steps include management changes in the power Ministries of the Interior and Defense, the Security Service and the National Security and Defense Council, the establishment of the Committee for the Reform of the Armed Forces and the Military–Industrial Complex. In actual fact, the pace of reform is very slow. The cornerstone strategic planning and management document – the draft National Security Strategy – was prepared back in 2010, but it has only recently been approved by the President. This article examines the reasons for the slow pace of reform and suggests that the problems stem from the system of "national values" wherein "national security" is still largely associated with "State Security". While the government dedicated its scarce resources to managing external risks in relations with Russia, the overall level of domestic security risks is increasing. Thus, a value focus on the "people" dimension of security is suggested to step up reform.

Within the Memorandum on cooperation between IIB and ALBA Graduate Business School (Athens, Greece), the International Institute of Business offers the students the opportunity to participate in the international student exchange program.

The students of diploma programs may become the participants in the series of short-term seminars in English, on the subjects of interest, with participation of the instructors from world-known business schools, such as the Wharton School of Business, Manchester Business School and others, in the period from July till December 2012. The participation in the seminars is proposed in two options: in addition to the main learning program of IIB, or as elective courses for EMBA students (with a transfer and accommodation of learning hours).

In 16th-20th of May 2012 the outside learning module has been organized in Odessa for the second year cohort of Executive MBA students.

During the module the students studied the course "Strategic Marketing" (instructor- Natalia Pisarenko, Professor of marketing, Ph.D) and the course "Risk Management" (instructor – Vladymyr Savchuk, Professor of finance, DSc).

In accordance with the program, the Executive MBA students had the opportunity to visit two enterprises – "Odesskiy Karavay" and "Levada", and to learn the operational business processes of these enterprises, to know the history of their establishment and development, as well as to test the products.

EMBA students met the management of these enterprises - Svetlana Tourchanska, Chairman of the Management Board of "Odesskiy Karavay", and Valery Volkov, managing owner of the company "Levada". During the meeting with the companies’ top management the students got the information about the situation on the markets, strategic plans of the companies, and they had a chance to put questions and receive the competent answers.

The free time after lessons were dedicated to socialization of the group, facilitated by the availability of wonderful restaurants in Odessa, with tasty food and good drinks.
