The success of any company depends on the culture of its management.
What model to adopt to provide long-term development? American
Councils for International Education organization’s Flex program
graduates got acquainted to VivaCell-MTS’ culture of management.
General Manager of VivaCell-MTS, Ralph Yirikian, lectured yesterday
at the meeting with the graduates of the Flex program. Flex is an
educational program implemented in Armenia under the sponsorship of
US government, which gives young Armenians an opportunity to live and
to get their high school education in the US. The graduate students
of the program, who return to Armenia, are particularly interested
in the experience of management culture at successful companies.
VivaCell-MTS denies the approach of criticizing without offering
something instead. Everyone at the Company knows that productive team
work presupposes that employees are provided with proper working
conditions and guarantees for safety. Nobody should be neglected,
and the motivation system should be put in place.
"A manager should lead by example and the respect, law and requirements
should be practiced from top to bottom. Any company that wants to
succeed should be guided by this model," said Ralph Yirikian.
Copany’s General Manager also encouraged the US high school graduates
not to succumb to excessive bureaucratism and not to diminish the
importance of employer-employee relations. Among the principles of
good management are the long-term strategies, the values of respect
and hard-work, readiness for cooperation and responsibility, the
vision for future and innovations, as well the particular attention to
activities that are based on the concept of corporate responsibility.
After the lecture, the gathered got a chance to receive answers to the
questions about the activities of Armenia’s leading mobile operator.
