According to IvyClimbing.com, as business education tends to focus on functional areas, such as accounting, marketing and finance, where the courses are often organized around a focus on the “how.” This type of educational training is typically preceded by a more general education, often referred to a pre-business education, focusing students’ attention to the “why.” It is this type of educational training that Turner College management professors Neal Thomson and Kirk Heriot are looking into in their new research examining the history of the pre-business curriculum over the past 100 years. As part of their analysis, they are also proposing some recommendations to update the pre-business curriculum so that it better reflects the current era of business education and the needs of businesses. Thomson and Heriot are also teaming on a second project investigating the relationship between social attribution styles and preferences for procedural or distributive justice. Social attribution is a concept in social psychology referring to the inferences that people make about the causes of events and behavior, where social attribution styles can be used to understand how and why individuals respond to behaviors and situations. Procedural justice refers to the idea of fairness in the processes that resolve disputes and allocate resources among individuals, while distributive justice refers to the perceived fairness of how rewards and costs are shared by or distributed across members of a group. Turner Business looks forward to a review of the findings of this ongoing research.
