Becoming
a Business Professor from the AACSB
Why should you consider becoming a business professor? There are
several reasons: job security, an attractive income, flexible work
conditions, intellectual stimulation, etc. Given the shortage of
individuals holding a doctoral degree in business and increasing
demand for their services, now is a particularly good time to become
a business professor. (The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools
of Business provides accreditation of business school degree programs
and is a force in advancing management education.)

Business Schools Face Growing Faculty Shortage
from CNN.com (2/21/06)
Business schools are getting a lesson in supply and demand when
it comes to teachers. The schools have been competing for students
for years as the number of master in business administration programs
at universities has soared. Now the schools also are competing for
a dwindling supply of doctoral business faculty to teach those students.
Major accrediting groups and business school officials say the diminishing
supply of people with doctorates in business and the rapidly increasing
demand for their services globally have pushed doctoral salaries
through the roof. It's also forced business schools to devise ways
to effectively compete for doctoral faculty and find alternatives
for filling vacant faculty positions. "There are two to three
times the positions available as there are people to fill them,"
said Richard Sorensen, board chairman for the Association to Advance
Collegiate Schools of Business International. The Tampa, Fla.-based
organization accredits collegiate business schools offering undergraduate,
master's and doctoral degree programs.

to permanently damage the reputation and excellence of business
schools around the globe. (Beta Gamma Sigma is the honor society
