Seven Strategies for Advancing Business Education Goals.

Abstract

The article discusses the strategies in working with policy makers to promote the goals of business education. First, business educators must believe that they can make a difference, especially locally, where local officials are more in tune with community concerns. The second step is to work with whoever can get the teacher information and then do the homework . Once the personal contact is undertaken, it is easier to learn the protocol that influences policy makers. Next is getting behind an issue, like the licensure requirements. After that it is time to plan a strategy, personalize it and make follow-ups. Succeeding those stages is the finding of allies and joining of forces, which means aligning with national organizations. Finally, get students involve and participate in policy issues to advance business education.
