Ralph Yirikian spoke at the international conference

VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian spoke at the international conference “University Education for 21st Century” dedicated to the 90th Anniversary of the Yerevan State University.

In his speech titled “Business and Education: Corporate Link” Ralph Yirikian touched upon the role business can play in improving and perfecting the system of higher education in Armenia by making it meet market needs. VivaCell-MTS General Manager particularly reflected on the two approaches adopted by the Company – the principles of Corporate Responsibility, and Innovative Solutions, - both in business and in its relations with the society.

These two principles serve the basis that push VivaCell-MTS to enhance its cooperation with the educational institutions of our country. The companies, which have skilled and highly professional employees, and obtain a flexible system of management, win in the intensifying market competition. But to provide that, the businesses need to be open to progress and innovation, which is why VivaCell-MTS continues seeking for new technological and marketing solutions.

Ralph Yirikian said: “Why should business cooperate with the education? Among perpetually competing businesses in the modern world, companies that go hand in hand with innovations and continuously train their staffs, paying particular attention to novice approaches and the way of thinking, win the race. That is one of the ways of the country’s development. We believe we should approach problems not just from position of a commercial organization, but as a Corporate Citizen. From this perspective we kept and will continue to keep the higher education sector within the focus of our special attention. VivaCell-MTS presents the universities of Armenia its achievements, giving students and alumni opportunity to enrich their theoretical knowledge by familiarizing themselves with technological innovations.”
