A Business Curriculum For The Commonwealth Of Independent States, Susan Coleman, James L. Narduzzi

This has involved a shift from public to private ownership for many large state enterprises, and it has also involved the development and launch of many new business ventures. Privatization as it is called, has created a demand for American style business education, capabilities, and experiences.

However, comments of satisfaction with the current situation may prompt one to suggest that theory and practice relationship will not be resolved, …

SHU Faculty Publications

The simplest explanation for why Sacred Heart University began a review for creating a new general education curriculum is that the last university strategic plan (1989-94) called for it and a faculty survey showed strong support for it.
