Key words and phrases: îrganization; training; university.
Abstract: Universities, as every organisations operating in an evolving environment, can be successful just adopting proper strategies and relying on skilled and motivated human resource. The article, divided in two parts, at first shows the organizational change experienced by leading universities in Western European countries, which are shifting from the Institution-Bureaucracy (IB) model to the Business-Professional Network (BPN) model. In the frame of this new managerial perspective, University sets the mission to deliver education and research services and is considered as a source of innovation and change. Its main goal is to train proactive professionals, adopting customer focus and quality orientation. In the relations with the environment it looks for a strong interdependence with all the stakeholders and network partners. The change from IB to BPN model is going on mainly because of more organisational and managerial autonomy, more competition for attracting students and a change in social attitudes towards university, considered as a centre delivering services. In the second part, some guidelines are indicated for the setting up of an effective training process to develop university human resources. Attention is paid to the four steps of the training process.
