Business and administration

This chapter provides an international overview of research in vocational education and training that is concerned with economic education in a broader sense. The domain of business and administration comprises research in a wide range of occupational fields such as production and distribution of goods, human-centred services to the public and the consumer, banks, administration, insurances, transportation, logistics, and tourism. Potential workers for the above-mentioned occupational fields are trained and educated in many different ways across different countries. Often business education is relocated to universities where undergraduate degrees provide occupational qualifications. Despite the general trend, Germany still offers many occupational qualifications that can be acquired in apprenticeships in the dual system. Education and training for jobs in business and administration is also provided at many different educational levels and for different age groups.
