ABSTRACT

BEST’s first national landscape survey of views about learning and teaching the academic disciplines of business, management and accounting was in November 2000. With help from the Association of Business Schools, we sent a letter to several hundred deans and heads of department asking them, or their nominated representatives, to answer a short questionnaire on a Web site at the Open University. After e-mail follow-up of non-respondents, we received responses from 71 individuals at 49 universities and five institutions of higher or further education.
