Abstract
This study demonstrates a method of creating a better supply chain between business and academia via improvement of the course design process. Data was collected from key stakeholders in business education, including students, professors, business managers, and state legislators. Subjects were asked their preferences with regard to certain controllable course design features. These preferences were then examined based on their relative ranked importance and relative intensity by each group of stakeholders. A decision tree was subsequently created with those stakeholders’ preferences in mind to aid in the selection of each course design feature, resulting in an improved business/academe supply chain.
