Use of Student Field-Based Consulting in Business Education: A Comparison of American and Australian Business Schools
Sciglimpaglia, Donald; Toole, Howard R.
Journal of Education for Business, v85 n2 p68-77 2010
This study reports the results of a comparative study of American business schools and Australian schools of commerce regarding utilization of field-based consultancy and associated critical variables. Respondents in the survey were 141 deans of Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) accredited business schools in the United States and 71 heads of Australian commerce programs. Overall, student field-based consultancy is widely used in both countries. This indicates that it should be possible to implement international field-based consultancies between American and Australian business schools, which would, in turn, lead to increased potential for international study abroad for business students of both countries.
