Popis: Educational exports are worth three billion dollars per annum to the Australian economy and are Australia's fifth largest export. Within this overall context, Australian commerce faculties have benefited disproportionately because of the popularity of their programs in Asia. However, because of an expanded array of choices for potential students facilitated by new technology based delivery system, combined with an emerging international preference for ‘original’ American or British business and professional qualifications, the international demand base for Australian business education is under threat. The development of specialised ‘antipodean’ or Australian approaches is recommended as an important basis for its long term survival.
