An integrated business school model

Article Abstract:

An Integrated Business School Model (IBSM) that can help business students prepare for their entry to the corporate world is presented. This model has three levels. The first one involves a general educational element which calls for two-year general education studies. The second tier calls for an advanced business course component which involves one-year advanced courses connected to the chosen business field of the student. These may include intermediate accounting or advanced marketing. Finally, a simulated business experience is needed. The College of Business discipline should interface in a simulated environment based on information technology. In addition to these three levels, students are also required to finish two semesters of business internships, the first to be taken after the general education level and the latter to be finished after the advanced business course component. The benefits of IBSM extends beyond students to include businesses and academia.

Bottom-fishing time?

Article Abstract:

The resignation of Indonesian Pres. Suharto may not mean the nation's political crises are over. Foreign investors must overlook sustained economic growth from 1965 to the 1990s, and focus more on the intense negative reaction to the Chinese minority's 70% control of the economy.
