The article focuses on curriculum changes at the School of Business Administration of Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana, which were initiated in 1958. The new curriculum was developed for a number of reasons. The faculty had become increasingly aware that while the existing program certainly was adequate, it could be better. It had become increasingly clear to the faculty that many kinds of business decisions could be and, indeed, were already being quantified. The faculty felt its task in the quantitative area was to determine, in broad outline at least, the mathematical techniques likely to prove most useful to the manager of the future. A prediction of this type is always hazardous, especially a long-range prediction. Special mention must be made of the use of the computer as an integral part of the Tulane curriculum. It is clear that the computer is an important part of the business world--a valuable tool used in conjunction with quantitative techniques for the solution of business problems involving simulation, management information and control systems, and complex manipulation of mathematical data. |
