Abstract

There needs to be some consensus of opinion on what competencies should be taught in a business management class at the secondary level.

This research proposed to identify and analyze the competencies Cypress-Fairbanks area business persons believe should be taught in a secondary level business management class. The purpose of this study, therefore, was to generate information that could be used in developing a business management curriculum for the Cypress-Fairbanks high schools.

This study was limited to responses given by (1) business persons owning and/or managing retail establishments within a three and one-half mile center radius of the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District (see Appendix A, page 58), and (2) business teachers employed in the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District.

This study was further limited to only those competencies which are suggested by Shilt, Everard, and Johns¹ and did not attempt to survey all competencies that could be taught in a business management class.

This study did not attempt to survey the competencies business persons believe should be taught at the post-high school level of education, even though some may overlap.
