4th Annual EDINEB International Conference
EDucational INnovation in Economics and Business:
Educating Entrepreneurship for the Information Age
September 1 - 3, 1997
Napier University, Edinburgh, Scotland
Under the Auspices of the EDINEB Network
Managing change in the university curriculum is regarded as a major challenge
now that we are moving into the information age. Universities are put under
pressure to adapt curricula to changing societal demands, preparing our
students for the Information Age. Orientation to information technology and
information systems is viewed as one of the new objectives for academic
programs. Educational innovations are targeting at transforming faculty from
teachers to managers in learning processes, in introducing information and
learning technologies, and at
designing relevant programs by developing corporate partnerships. What are
the implications for business and managerial education? What role should
economics play in business curricula? What kind of methods and approaches are
available to transform economics and business education?
This 1997 International Conference of EDINEB will bring faculty, instructors,
trainers, practising managers, development officers and graduate students
from around the world to share research and information about innovative
business education.
Suggested themes for paper presentations, as well as interactive workshops,
demonstrations and round-table discussions, are:
Educating Economics of Entrepreneurship
New Economics for the Information Age
Transitional Economics
Teaching Relevant Economics for the Business World
Training Students in Issues of Local Economic Development
Computer-assisted Learning in Economics and Business
