Innovation as a challenge for the traditional university: case of IT in study process

It is aimed in this paper to present the perspective of students, teachers and representatives of administration (based on theoretical and empirical findings) on the cooperation in virtual environments in the context of the ‘innovation-resistant’ organizations. Two theoretical models are presented: one of them emphasizes (and provides arguments for that) the dynamic and approach that universities have for technologies. Another one points out certain hesitance towards application of technologies in study process. Findings from an empirical data (from one of the Lithuanian universities- x) show that the community is of this x university is quite positive towards the application of technologies for studies, however, a full and productive application still remains to be achieved.
