MBAResearch is a consortium of state education departments organized as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit foundation.  The Consortium serves all educators providing programming for Business Administration programs addressing such clusters and specialties as entrepreneurship, finance, hospitality/tourism, management, marketing, and office management.  MBAResearch includes industry research, curriculum design, training and professional development, and advocacy on behalf of the field.  A detailed program of work is approved by the Board of Trustees annually.

This 1½ day workshop is available regionally and on-demand.  Locations will be announced as sites are confirmed.  If you are interested in hosting in your state or at your site, please contact Jim Gleason ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Workshop outcomes focus on implementing curricula appropriate to the contemporary business environment and pedagogies that better engage the millennial student (e.g., use of technology and the Internet, project design).  The workshop is appropriate to all business and marketing teachers interested in the business administration curriculum framework.  (It is not designed for business teachers who focus only on computer applications.)

Multi-state and school district participation in several research and development initiatives, including a major development project to establish a new online learning center to address a significant teacher shortage for CTE-licensed business and marketing faculty. Participating sponsors of these projects receive substantial benefits. Summary.

The distance-based advisory panels that were announced during the MBA annual meeting in June are now on the front burner.  We hope to begin conference calls and various online activities in early March.  Please act now to nominate business leaders in your state who might enjoy participating in this critical activity.  Note that in addition to the posted schedule (by pathway), we expect to announce in June plans for an executive-level panel that will focus on “futuring” and positioning of business and marketing programs.  Details.
