TOPIC:
New Changes in Business
Accreditation
With the passing of the new Business Accreditation standards in April
2003, AACSB International and its member schools raised the bar for academic
excellence in management education. Any change, however positive, brings
questions and uncertainty. The panel will discuss what the new standards mean
for our b-schools, and how we can make changes/improvements early in the
academic year toward achieving new goals

Session Chair: Roderick

Panelists: Gary Siegel, DePaul University
James E. Sorensen, University of Denver
Sandra Richtermeyer, University of Wyoming
Business partners help run businesses. Partners are
consulted on all major decisions. Partners are proactive with information, are
focused on improving business processes, and are team leaders. The work of
partners is exciting, and they are enthusiastic about what they do. Over the
past ten years, accountants at many companies have made the transition from
traditional roles to business partner roles. This session addresses business
partner research that was completed in 2003.
The panel will (a) describe the new role that accountants play as
"business partners" in corporations, (b) describe how accountants in
leading edge companies have made the transition from traditional roles, (c)
demonstrate the use of qualitative tools that accountants/business partners
need for manipulating verbal data, and (d) discuss the implications for
accounting and business school education.

Standard 15
(Management of Curricula) of the new AACSB International standards states that
the curriculum management process will normally include learning experiences in
statistical data analysis and management sciences (among other areas). While most
institutions cover statistics with one or more required courses, and others
require an operations management course, many do not currently offer a separate
required course in management science.
The panel will discuss curriculum changes that will/should be made in
the area of management science to comply with the new standards and prepare
students better in the quantitative methods.
