Educating the Masses — Is IT a Tricky Business?

J. D. Pemberton * and J. M. Smailes *

Newcastle Business School, University of Northumbria, UK

The increased use of Information Technology (IT) applications has changed the world of business, commerce and industry significantly over recent years and, consequently, the training and education of managers in this field. This has led to universities and colleges of higher education to invest heavily in the area of IT. Furthermore, the continued popularity of business and management degree programmes, coupled with an expansion of student numbers, has resulted in many institutions re-evaluating their curricula with respect to their students' acquisition and development of IT expertise. This paper is based on research conducted by the authors and looks at IT provision within such courses at UK institutions of higher education. A key element of this work is the identification of trends in this area with particular emphases on ‘good practice’ in the teaching of IT to business students.
