The respondents studying at the Faculty of Business Management and Faculty of Arts and<br />

Creative Technologies noted that their studies were contributing to developing students’<br />

entrepreneurial and creativity skills. The competences highlighted by the students studying<br />

in all faculties are the ability to communicate in Lithuanian language and use technologies.<br />

However, social and political competences are not developed enough in all faculties. The<br />

questionnaire included a question about innovations and the study process. The students<br />

studying in all faculties agreed that they learn using different computer programs, electronic<br />

databases and innovative teaching methods. A large number of respondents didn’t know if<br />

innovations were used at the Faculty of Health Care and Faculty of Arts and Creative<br />

Technologies. The survey was aimed to find out whether the faculty organizational culture<br />

encouraged openness and creativity of students. More than half (55 percent) of<br />

respondents chose answers “strongly encouraged” or “encouraged”. A strong support to be<br />

more creative and open are felt by the students at the Faculty of Business Management<br />

(64.9 percent) and Faculty of Pedagogy (63.1). However, only 34 percent of the respondents<br />

studying at the Faculty of Agrotechnologies thought that their faculty organizational culture<br />

encouraged openness and creativity. Students were asked to propose the way how to<br />

effectively develop creativity skills. There were found the following suggestions: use more<br />

business simulation, business games, more often analyse specific business situations, closely<br />

communicate with successful entrepreneurs, develop creative tasks for teamwork, and<br />

organize more discussions, competitions and other events where students could express<br />

themselves (for example, “the night of ideas”, “marketing days” and so on). To summarize,<br />

there could be a suggestion that respondents emphasized the importance of openness in<br />

order to create conditions where creativity is not suppressed.<br />

Figure 6. Willingness to create business.<br />

The respondents studying at the Faculty of Electronics and Informatics (18.2 percent) and<br />

Faculty of Agrotechnologies (15.4) are willing to create business after studies. However, the<br />

students studying in all faculties would like to gain experience first and then create their<br />

own business. The largest number of such respondents is at Faculty of Arts and Creative<br />

Technologies (66.7 percent) and Faculty of Business Management (54.5). 82.4 percent of the<br />

respondents studying at the Faculty of Health Care probably will not create their own<br />

business or they don’t know. There should be emphasized the distribution of answers at the<br />

Faculty of Electronics and Informatics because of a large number of students comparing<br />
