Is Indonesia Producing Enough Business Graduates to Assist its Development Aspirations?
Fraser, Kym
Industry and Higher Education, v27 n2 p85-88 Apr 2013
Business plays an important role in most economies around the world, but businesses rely on the higher education system to supply an adequate number of qualified business graduates. In nations such as the USA, the UK and Australia, business degrees are the most popular university qualification; and the growth in the number of Chinese students
undertaking business degrees in universities outside their home country
over the past decade has been astronomical. In contrast, for Indonesia
there has been a decline in the number of business degrees being
undertaken abroad and at home. Indonesia has set a number of ambitious
development goals and if these are to be achieved, there will need to be
increasing activity from the business sector. Therefore, it is argued,
questions should be raised about the current declining rate of student
numbers in higher education business degree courses, and about whether the trend will have a detrimental impact on the future development aspirations of this highly populated country. (Contains 3 tables.)
