Transition and the development of higher education managers in Lithuania
ENThe exposition in this paper falls into four parts. The first deals with broad contextual and cultural influences of the reforms in Lithuania on employment and higher education. The second part discusses some effects of the transition on higher education managers. The third deals with broad factors considered to be important in devising an approach to encourage enterprise skills among such managers. These form the context for the nexus into the fourth part which deals with the development, content and application of a transformational model to assist educational managers in the transition to an enterprise economy in which organisational, cultural and skill changes are addressed simultaneously by an approach which integrates enterprise skills, learning styles and consultancy skills. This model offers three principal benefits: firstly, each specific field is well documented and tested in its own right in Western literature, secondly, it has the potential to widen the range of educational services provided by an educational institution, and thirdly, it can be easily replicated in similar situations.
