Case Based

Business education is education for practice and thus, requires a systematic and integrative approach that will guide students toward becoming reflective practitioners. Case-based education is an important tool that can provide the educational experiences that produce effective practitioners but only if its use is guided by a sound theoretical and research based framework. Research and theory from the learning sciences can guide case-based instructional practices. This chapter will provide a framework for the design of case-based instruction that incorporates teaching and learning affordances derived from the theory of situated learning and cognition. If the educational goal is to produce business practitioners with the skills and knowledge necessary to operate successfully in today's global business environment, business education needs to be prepared to incorporate theoretical perspectives derived from learning sciences research into case-based education.

Recent Australian research has identified that the success of an Indigenous business greatly relies on the business acumen of its owner. Whilst business education offered through Business Schools is seemingly open to all, Indigenous Australian participation in these educational offerings have been low. In contrast the number of Indigenous businesses emerging in Australia over the past decade is building a demand for Indigenous specific business education offerings. The MURRA Indigenous Business Master Class at Melbourne Business School is such an example of an Indigenous business education program. We discuss how this program implements an andragogical philosophy into the Indigenous teaching and learning approach of business education to take into consideration an individual’s cultural and business knowledge to contextualise business learning. This paper identifies a framework of andragogy principles that contributes to the learning environment for Indigenous entrepreneurs. We identify four key learning principles and offer an evidence based model to progress business education. Through well designed Indigenous business education, business education can provide Indigenous entrepreneurs with an effective learning environment that integrates their cultural identity, highlights Indigenous knowledges and allows for the development of skills to support self-determination practices.

The Way

The study critically examines available perspectives to morality in business. It observes that each of the perspectives to morality in business may seem plausible; the reality of business clearly indicates that morality is intrinsic in the purposes and existence of business. The study further observes that the functional activities of business are pre-supposedly subjects of moral value judgment. The study posits that efforts should rather focus on discussions and concerns on moral benchmarks for sustainable business practices in view of emerging socio-cultural and global dynamics. It concludes that appropriate synthesis of perspectives is the way to go in order to enhance business education among students and practitioners in Nigeria.

Multidisciplinary research wields a strategic value in higher education particularly in building a new knowledge economy. The paper expounds the application of multidisciplinary research approaches in business research and the higher education strategy in improving multidisciplinary research with industries. The study used the descriptive analytic research design employing the use of web generated literature for the analysis. The results showed that the trend in business research development has been increasingly competitive and more complex. However, the problems surrounding such a phenomenon can be good opportunities for universities to take part for their contribution to industries. Multidisciplinary research is seen as an appropriate means to solve such complex problems because this type of research is more comprehensive in providing solutions. The resources need to be prepared, concerning financial capital, management systems, research resources, facilities and infrastructure. the study concludes that by improving the quality and productivity of multidisciplinary research with the industries, performance of universities will improve in terms of quality education, and teaching process, research productivity, recognition by society leading to the university's sustainability.   Keywords - multidisciplinary research, knowledge economy, higher education, business industries

This study addresses the United Nation’s (UN) Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG4) to “substantially increase the supply of qualified teachers[academics], including through international cooperation for teacher training in developing countries, especially least developed countries and Small Island developing states” by 2030. Literature review reveals that there is a shortage of academics to teach business units globally due to the high demand for business education. Hence experienced and qualified business practitioners are recruited to assume the role of academics, collectively termed as second-career academics. This study was conducted to explore the challenges faced by these second-career academics in order to explore ways to sustain and retain them, as a measure to mitigate the shortage of academics in business education at tertiary level. The findings revealed that second-career academics experience a sense of discordance due to the fundamental contradiction between the ideals, pre-conceived perceptions of academic career and the everyday realities of academic task performance. The discordance is precipitated by differences in work culture between industry and academia, inconsonance with university management, and pedagogical/research challenges. The study suggests appropriate orientation and training opportunities to address the special needs of these second-career academics in order to sustain and retain their academic career, as a solution to the shortage of business academics.

School Curricula

Business education has been blamed for deficiencies in the leadership, decision- making and ethical conduct of business managers. The quantitative and analytical orientation in business school curricula and the consequent lack of humanities-based courses have been identified as reasons. The fundamental reason, however, lies in the philosophy of business research and education which shapes the curricula, teaching methods, and ultimately the graduates' ability to handle various managerial functions. The most commonly recognized philosophical basis of business research is empiricism. The argument presented here is that pragmatism, which shares elements with empiricism, has also significantly shaped business education. This paper is an attempt to show why empiricism, together with pragmatism, are the root causes of the above deficiencies. Supplementing business school curricula with humanities courses, a strategy often recommended to correct for the deficiencies, is not sufficient. As an alternative solution, an objective philosophical approach is evaluated, along with its practical implications for business education.

Businesses must expose their products and services to customers so as to make sales and be heard.  The world of the artist[1] is no different, and, in the words of the late Luciano Pavarotti, the artist must ‘be heard and be seen’.  The aim of this paper is to examine if there is a need to ensure that our artistic graduates are ‘market ready’.  The paper specifically examines this concept in the context of an Irish Institute of Technology (IT).  Artists generally do not view the world in terms of business &amp; commerce, only as a creative space.  This research study investigates if there is a need for a special purpose award that would allow already qualified or working artists who have missed out on business education to take business modules at any stage in their careers.  The findings in this study are rich and the attitudes to the business world by participating artists are interesting.  Having established that artists need some business education, this paper then proceeds to outline what may be needed now, and in the future. Keywords: Artist, Musicians, Business Education, Business World. [1] For the purpose of this paper, the term ‘artist’ is deemed to refer to both performing and visual artists.
