The survey method was used to determine the effects of lack of uniformity in business education curriculum at graduate level the mean and standard deviation were used to analyze the items. The t-test statistics method was also used. It was found out that there was lack of uniformity in the curricula of business education at graduate level among other things. The paper recommends that supervisory authorities should harmonize the curricula of business education to ensure uniformity in tertiary institutions particularly at graduate level and to enhance and ensure quality of the programme. It also recommends that 80% of the course content in the core option areas be incorporated into the curriculum to enhance performance and learning outcome and avoid functional dilemma of expectation and realities.

In this chapter, the perception of the quality of business education of different stakeholders in business education is discussed using some real-life stories and opinions. In general, students, professors, business education administrators, and employers look happy with the current business education programs and services provided by business schools. However, these stakeholders would like to do more on developing analytical, quantitative, and operational skills in students because these are the skills they will need immediately after graduation and in the labor market. The chapter suggests that it is useful and advisable for the academic institutions to have an effective information intelligence system in place in order to collect strategic academic information from different stakeholders in education. Such information can and will be used in designing academic programs and services to serve the emerging demands and interests of those stakeholders.

The article reviews the impact of globalization on the quality of contemporary business education in India. When the Indian government liberalized the business education market in the 1990s, it was assumed that creation of business schools would automatically lead to employment-ready individuals, especially in managerial roles. On the contrary, certain trends suggest that business schools have been producing suboptimally skilled individuals for the industry, leading to an incessantly widening skill–employability gap. The article discusses the plausible reasons for this gap. The article also argues for integrating emotional intelligence (EI) as a key behavioural skill in management education framework.

This chapter first presents the effect of culture and language on the efficiency of business education across cultures and languages. It begins with the effect that culture and language may have on the amount and the quality of knowledge transferred from business educators to business learners when the educator and the learner are affiliated to different cultural backgrounds or when the language of education is different from the native language of the educator, of the learner, or of the two. Then, it defines several concepts related to business education across English and several other languages. Secondly, an investigation among business educators across cultures and languages is conducted. Findings reveal that culture and language have a significant impact on the perception of business concepts and on the ways business educators deliver their knowledge. The research involves seven languages namely Arabic, Chinese, French, English, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish, and their respective cultures.

AbstractEmployers of business graduates require them to be effective communicators and team members in twenty-first century work environments. As a means of developing these skills, we believe group work is important to an undergraduate business teaching pedagogy preparing graduates for the challenges of modern workplaces. Student responses to a series of qualitative and quantitative focus group activities highlighted the ‘big issues’ encountered in group activities involving an increasingly internationalised and diverse cohort of students. These issues related mainly to communication within the group and the fear of social-loafers. These insights established the basis on which proactive strategies were introduced in a subsequent teaching period to nurture and advance the quality of the learning experience within a tertiary undergraduate business education setting. Given that reduced Government funding to Australian universities has prompted the management of institutions to look to full-fee paying international students to offset shortfalls in their operating budgets, this paper explores the particular impact of increasing numbers of English as a Second Language (ESL) students on the quality of, and student receptiveness to, group based study activities.
