Abstract

The objective of this paper is to investigate and analyse characteristics of constant changes higher education institutions are faced with in their operation and the concept of the learning organisation as an adequate response to changes covering the area of higher education. The paper finds that lifelong learning and becoming the learning organisation are the key factors in the process of implementing many changes these institutions need to undertake in order to fit into contemporary developments successfully. The findings reflect the way adequately to answer actual requests posed to higher education institutions, particularly the empowerment of their partnership with economy.
