FOREWORD

The Kazakhstan Institute of Management, Economics and Strategic Research (KIMEP) is a non-profit institution of higher education. Its mission is to develop well-educated citizens, to foster development and innovation in the country, and to improve the quality of life for all of its citizens. Vigorous, serious academic research is an integral part of this mission.

KIMEP is one of the largest and the most prominent Western-style Universities across the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), offering North American-style credit-based graduate and undergraduate degrees. Its Dr. Chan Young Bang programs cover a wide variety of disciplines in business, the President of KIMEP social sciences, law, and languages, and comply with international norms and standards. In September of 2011, the world-class quality of KIMEP’s Bang College of Business (BCB) was recognized by the Asian Forum on Business Education, which awarded it Level 2 (regional) accreditation. BCB is the first Central Asian institution to receive external accreditation, and KIMEP envisions have all of its academic programs fully accredited at the international level in a few years.

In addition to its teaching mission, KIMEP also serves as a think tank and center for academic dialogue and exchange. KIMEP aims to support applied scholarship, with an emphasis on close cooperation with the public, private and non-profit sectors, as well as with other higher education institutions. The Central Asian Studies Center, based at KIMEP’s College of Social Sciences, and the Central Asian Tax Research Center, based at BCB, are at the forefront of scholarly investigation and exchange in their fields. KIMEP’s faculty contains the highest proportion in the CIS of holders of terminal degrees from Western universities, and the professor’s broad worldview, dedication, and academic expertise allow them to make contributions not only in Almaty but across the country and around the world.

Therefore, it is my pleasure to present the third issue of the KIMEP Research Bulletin. The Bulletin will introduce you to the diverse research interests among our faculty, and give an idea of what projects are currently being pursued.

I believe that this publication would be of a great help to all people who are enthusiastic about developing a genuine culture of research in Kazakhstan.

Yours sincerely,

Chan Young Bang, PhD President of KIMEP

MESSAGE FROM THE KIMEP RESEARCH COMMITTEE

This Research Bulletin provides insight into KIMEP’s robust and growing engagement in scholarly research. It is intended for our many diverse stakeholders: students and professors both at KIMEP and elsewhere, external partners in the public, private, and non-profit sectors, and the general public. Faculty members are engaged in a wide array of scholarly activities, and the information contained herein will help to suggest opportunities for collaborative research, as well as serve to keep the public informed about our output.

KIMEP is known for its superb classroom instruction, and is strengthening its reputation as an influential nexus of scholarly research. To enrich this valuable asset further, the Research Committee provides support to faculty members. First and foremost, the Committee promotes quality research to meet the criteria on faculty scholarly activities set by the various accreditation agencies. Reinforcing its research output over the next few years, KIMEP will enhance its reputation as a center for scholarly exchange not only in Kazakhstan and across Central Asia, but also with partners around the world.

Collaborative research, interdisciplinary studies, and extramural consulting and advising works will be strongly encouraged in this regard, and these efforts will enable us to deliver on the core mission of KIMEP, which is “education to change society ”: meaningful engagement beyond the institution with the wider world. The Research Committee assists faculty in ensuring that their work meets the highest standards, both ethically and academically.

Another form of support will be providing special assistance to our junior faculty who are at the early stages of their careers. This support will enable them to engage in quality research that will develop their abilities, advance their careers, and contribute to the understanding of their fields. The Research Committee provides various outlets such as in-house seminars, working paper series, and the KIMEP International Research Conference to support their output. It also organizes training sessions, as well as a mentoring system whereby qualified senior researchers will guide and support their junior colleagues.

Finally, the Research Committee provides administrative support and coordinates matters pertaining to faculty research by functioning as a “one-stop” help desk. The Committee is always open to provide guidance and assistance, and to listen to faculty members’ ideas and suggestions on all research-related matters.

We invite you to peruse the Bulletin, and hope that you find our faculty’s research interesting and inspiring.

Yours sincerely,

Sang Lee Jiri Melich Research Committee Co-Chairman Research Committee Co-Chairman Bang College of Business College of Social Sciences
