Introduces BizED Magazine

St. Louis - AACSB International -- Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, the premier accrediting agency for bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degree programs in business administration and accounting, has announced publication dates for BizEd, a new print magazine focusing on management education.

The "premier" issue is scheduled to debut in November 2001. Future issues will be published bimonthly beginning in January 2002.
"No current periodical focuses exclusively on management education," says John Kraft, dean of the Warrington College of Business, University of Florida, and chair of the AACSB International Board of Directors. "The scope and outlook will have an international flavor."

The magazine will target leaders in management education worldwide. The publication's primary audience will include collegiate business schools, both within the United States and worldwide, corporate universities and others involved in advancing management education today. The magazine will provide in-depth penetration of the leading business schools through distribution to business school deans, department chairs and faculty, as well as business school librarians, distance learning coordinators, continuing education directors, student placement and career planning specialists.

"AACSB is committed to publishing a periodical that is indispensable to the management education community," said Kraft. "It will provide a platform for the presentation of trends, developments, ideas, and emerging issues in management education."

BizEd will also offer vital information covering the best ways to deliver educational content, design and effective programs, how to integrate new technologies, and how to administrate effectively. "As the only magazine to serve management educators specifically, BizEd will be a resource for business school administrators, faculty members, and corporate universities," Kraft said. Additional topics include: ethics, marketing practices, distance learning, corporate education, motivation, leadership, academic issues, institutional performance, and business school quality issues.

John Fernandes, AACSB International's president and CEO, said, "The publication will be thought provoking and worthy of the stature as AACSB's flagship publication. The content will enhance the professional knowledge of the reader. As a tool, the periodical will provide information to assist decision-making and improved job performance."
