Abstract

A wealth of technologies is becoming viable in the mainstream of business education, as complements to and substitutes for the traditional classroom. This wave of new technologies comes at a time of great economic pressure on higher education in general and business education in particular. The sustainability of the traditional economic model of higher education in the United States is being actively questioned. The responses of colleges and universities, instituting often drastic cutbacks during the recent economic downturn, highlight the tenuousness of the traditional classroom-centric business model. Many are advocating technology as the solution to higher education’s woes. The novelty of a new technology can be appealing and creates an opportunity to overcome prior resistance.
