Abstract

Strategizing is a relevant area of professional activity that requires new specialists capable of innovative strategic thinking. As a result, the Kemerovo State University has launched a Master’s degree program in Economic and Financial Strategy. It provides high-quality economic education based on the current social demands and advanced trends. Its graduates undergo an in-depth training in economic strategy with prospects of becoming leaders in various aspects of the regional industry.

It is based on the local needs in the implementation of the Strategy for the Socio-Economic Development of the Kemerovo Region through 2035. The Strategy with its long-term prospects was developed by the scientific school of strategizing. The school is headed by Professor Vladimir L. Kvint, Doctor of Economics, Foreign Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Head of the Center for Strategic Research, Institute for Mathematical Research of Complex Systems, Lomonosov Moscow State University.
