For the modern school, the task of organizing the design and research activities of schoolchildren, connected with modern science and high technologies, is very actual. This is difficult to do without the interaction of the school with scientists and representatives of high-tech businesses. It is not easy to integrate such cooperation into the educational program of a secondary school. This chapter describes the experience of the School Week of High Technologies as an integrated model of the organization of the school's educational space. The chapter discusses the general logic of the preparation and conduct of such educational events as cycles of educational research, projects, conferences, problem lectures, excursions to high-tech production (including in the format of business games), meetings with leading specialists and enterprise management, and business games. Possible difficulties, educational results, social and pedagogical effects of realization of such forms of cooperation of the school, scientific organizations, and business partners are analyzed.

The chapter, which is an introduction to the book, discusses language features and ways of describing the phenomenon of cooperation between business and education, and attempts to describe the field of existing projects that require study and reflection. Some of these projects are described in this book. The objective of the book (and of this chapter as an introduction for this book) is to present the existing experience of such an interaction to the community concerned, to try to see together with the participants of the process, what works yet and what doesn't, what ins and outs appear during this interaction, and what are the positive effects of the cooperation. Such talk about existing practices of business and education interaction will let us discover trends, propose possible ways of collaborative work, and propose modes for further investigation of this phenomenon.

The game Journalist has established itself as one of the complex forms of intensive additional education, as a way of active and thoughtful acquaintance of high school students with the surrounding world. Participating in the game, adolescents visit modern enterprises as journalists, get acquainted with the problems and successes, specialists, peculiarities of the production of this enterprise, and as a result of this visit, they prepare real journalistic materials that are subsequently published in various media. The chapter describes the experience of playing in Latvia and Russia on the basis of a school, a university, the organization of additional education, the editorial offices of local media, and local self-government bodies; mechanisms of interaction with business during the preparation and conduct of the game; discusses the possible impact of the game on local life, the degree of its openness, public dialogue in solving pressing problems; and the establishment, through the game, of closer links between education and other spheres of public life in a city or region.

The evolution of technology enables educational institutions to provide innovative ways to support students' learning, and as a result, there is an increasing trend in adopting business innovations such as e-learning solutions and online learning platforms. An empirical study was conducted to explore the effect of using Moodle and Facebook on business students' motivation to learn. It hypothesized that students will be more motivated to use social media Facebook over Moodle as a learning tool in tertiary education. Participants were students enrolled on the first year of a business program. Participants were given access to both the Moodle online learning platform and Facebook to use throughout the first semester of 2017. Lecturers posted questions on Moodle and Facebook on a weekly basis to which participants were asked to provide responses. Findings from this study confirmed the validity of using social media in tertiary education. Implications for the business community engagement with educational institutions are discussed.

Germany is known as a country of advanced technology and centuries-old traditions of both school and professional and university education. Obviously, this combination forms a special link between business and education. The chapter gives a brief overview of this interaction and considers one specific case of cooperation between industry and non-profit organization in educational projects. The authors write about one of the most significant German firms: the insurance company Allianz (Munich).

The practice of working with business cases contradicts all basic school education organizations' canons. Judge for yourself: the authors of the cases do not know initially how to solve them. They often do not even guess which methods they should use to do so. Moreover, they are not always sure that they formulate the problem correctly. However, students for some reason find such problems to be the most interesting to solve. The middle adolescence is the age when young people are in search of themselves. Therefore, these cases, dictated by the chaos of a changing life, serve as a real window to the world of future destiny for them. The chapter will consider the process of selecting enterprises that can become the authors of cases, reveal the stages of case creation, describe the problems that the designers of cases are faced with, analyze in detail the experience of organizing the educational process based on cases with schoolchildren, and provide examples of high quality scientific and technological cases.
