The changing context of business education: competency requirements for the new paradigm

This chapter reports on a comparative evaluation of the business education curricula of Australia and Hong Kong in the wake of the changes which have occurred in Hong Kong following the return to Chinese government in 1997. The author observes that business education has broadened from its previous technical base, but she suggests that curricula should be even broader and be based on a conception of competence based on an interpretative-relational perspective. She envisages that such an approach will lead to the development of higher levels of competencies, facilitating careers at professional and managerial levels, and ultimately promoting national productivity.
