EDUCATION FOR BUSINESS: A DYNAMIC CONCEPT AND PROCESS.
The article highlights that there is a need to study the concept and process related with education for business. It presents an education program of educational enterprise Ford Foundation. The foundation has made grants principally to support the work of faculty members, research personnel, and students in colleges, universities, and research institutions. It runs a program in economic development and administration. The program includes invitation to leading non-academic men. From these non-academicians the foundation solicit advice on the directions in which the program has been moving and on the problems to which they believe the foundation should give future attention. In one of the recent meetings one executive suggested that the training for business given on the campus, particularly at the undergraduate level, tends to spoil students for business. The executive said that college students should get broader, more liberal educational background. The business firms, he added, is a better place to learn the "how-to-do-it" techniques. It was felt that there is a need for systematic study of the basis on which businessmen actually hire and promote within their organizations if one is to develop a workable environment.
