The authors analyze transformation of university models and reveal the tendencies in integration of education, science and business in order to realize and highlight to what extent education strategies put forward society to ideal model of «society of knowledge» designed in the mid XX and formulated in P. Drucker proceedings in 1993.The authors apply institutional and structural and functional approaches. Analysis is carried out by means of comparison foreign and national experience used for introduction and application of different university models and following the tendencies in education development and formation of society requirements to education system since 40-s of XX. The paper focuses on foreign results of applying the model of Business University (3.0) which is widely applied in Russia today. The experience of Great Britain and other foreign countries has proved that this model successfully implements the mechanism which was going to put forward the society to ideal model «society of knowledge»; otherwise in fact it makes prerequisites for greater differentiation between megalopolises and rural areas according to the criterion of human capital assets. The implementation of mechanism «economy of knowledge» without flexible policy in the sphere of education and business makes conditions for drastic changes in sparsely populated areas. The authors make conclusion that specific features of Russia, its length and part of areas with low population make foundation of business universities inefficient and even disastrous for human resources in the regions. This affects national development in future.
