Author

Subjects
Business enterprises -- Contracts, Business enterprises -- Management, Logistics -- Analysis, Labor market -- Analysis, Schools -- Kyrgyzstan, Schools -- Contracts, Contract agreement, Company business management, Business, international
Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the current operating system of the educational institutions in Kyrgyzstan in terms of a supply chain view. In particular, this paper hypothesizes that, because the current educational system in Kyrgyzstan lacks cooperation with the industry, it is turning out to be ineffective in meeting the needs of the labor market. Consequently, many students are unable to find jobs after graduation or end up in jobs not related to their intended professions. This study will use data gathered from a survey based on a constructed questionnaire to lend support to the above hypothesis. The paper will then propose another operating system ('pull system') as a feasible solution to the current issue: the failure of the educational institutions in Kyrgyzstan in matching the market demands for the labor force because of the insufficient level of cooperation with the industry., INTRODUCTION In the 21st century, the global market conditions have changed significantly. Such changes have affected the operations of not only private profit oriented organizations, but also public institutes and [...]
