Alvesson and Jonsson (2016) conducted an in-depth single case study ofa middle manager in a large, international manufacturing company, completing ten interviewsand eight observations of the manager in meetings [8]. Their findings challenge the dominantperceptions of leadership in the literature which are based on “assumptions of coherence,integration, context and direction” (p.13). Instead, the researchers found fragmentation betweenthe manager’s leadership ideas and practice, with noticeable differences between espousedleadership meanings and their actual use in practice [8].

The Ukrainian CatholicUniversity presented in this paper is a non-profit educational institution. It states in itsmission the goal of “forming leaders to serve with professional excellence in the homecountry and internationally – for the glory of God, the common good, and the dignity of thehuman person.” The university’s internal managerial approach is to support the startupculture. This paper aims to apply the accreditation process as a prerequisite to improving theinternal processes. This background

, there has been much discussion (see for example, [14], [1], [7], [9], [3] and [16]), about Page 24.813.2what a Systems Engineering curriculum should be. Particularly important is the question of howto introduce young or inexperienced students to Systems Engineering concepts (see for example[16], [8], [15], and [2]). The consensus appears to be to introduce students to these conceptsthrough hands-on experience, however, introducing students to these concepts and providinghands on experience in a first course is a tall order.
