8 Hye Sharzhoom November 1996 AG Project, from p.l of a Web page for the Academy. ATI-NET is a technology information network based at CSUF that provides extensive data on agricultural marketing. Ennen's visit represents the first step in developing electronic information exchange between CSUF, the Armenian agricultural sector and the Central Valley's agricultural industry. "Getting Armenia online is going to greatly facilitate international trade negotiations and stimulate research from other institutions," Ennen said prior to his departure. "And it's a great way to link Armenia with the rest of the world using the World Wide Web to disseminate information." An important aspect of the program also calls for CSUF to offer strategic planning and curriculum development assistance to the Academy, which falls under the responsibility of John Shields, professor of agricultural economics at CSUF. Shields, who has served as chairman of the academic policy and planning committee for CSUF, also recently returned from a trip to Armenia where he spent time reviewing the Academy's curriculum and began introducing them to the process of strategic planning. "Strategic planning is really about how to make choices and how Armenia can begin to take stock of their new economic environment," he explained. "It is a great opportunity for Armenia to redefine its purpose in agricultural economics as well as identify current and future needs." According to Shields, the focus of the Project is to help the Academy become more marketing oriented and bring it into the practical role of a service-oriented institu- From left to right, backrow: Ara Sarafian, Dr. Lome Shirinian, Barlow Der Mugrdechian, Dr. Richard Hovannisian, Sara Durgerian, Vicken Yegparian, Shant Kataroyan, Sebouh Serabian.

Shields explained that the Academy is entering a transitional stage because of the economic forces of change currently underway in Armenia. Clearly, he sees challenges ahead for the Academy. "The Academy is slightly adrift right now be cause prior to land reform, it was wholly dependent on directives and planning from the Armenian Ministry of Agriculture," he said. "Our role is to assist the Academy in redefining its purpose as an academic institution, especially its relationship with new land owners." In addition to assisting the Academy with implementing a new strategic plan, Shields is also working to develop an educational exchange program between Armenia and the United States. He is identifying potential research areas at the Academy and is setting up a program to train Academy professors in Western economics. "The real key is for the Academy to take a larger role as coordinator of agricultural issues in Armenia and that is where CSUF comes in," he explained. "We plan to assist the Academy to incorporate more marketing classes into its program and help it establish a long-term vision that includes product evaluation, target customers, manufacturing and training."
