Nino (2010) provides a review of the literature on business education in general. The author digs deep into the history
of the practice and reminds us that original business curricula were not rooted in academic theory or research, but
rather in marketplace behavior. Nino also reviews the fact that business education became more established in
theory as soon as business management became a formal profession; it is this key shift where we began to see
theory develop. And, of course, with the onset and progress of globalization, this theory moved beyond the domestic
realm and into the international marketplace. It is important to keep this in mind: the balance in forcing mechanisms
between realworld economic shifts and what may be traditionally perceived as sound business theory.
