| Abstract | An Indiana professor of business used the British magazine "The Economist" as required reading in courses on international business in order to introduce a global and humanistic element. "The Economist" is a 100-plus page news weekly of economics and finance with a principal goal of increasing understanding of the critical interrelationships between international affairs and the changing realities of the "global village." The instructor arranged to receive a packet of magazines each week. A marked copy of the index page was circulated to students each week indicating which items would be on a brief quiz the following week. A survey of articles found that many were interdisciplinary in nature. Student response to the use of "The Economist" was based on personal observation and the compilation of mid-term and final semester class evaluations over 3 years. Those results were consistently positive, with 80 to 90 percent of students rating "The Economist" first under "Strength of the Course." The reading gave a timeliness and significance to the international business theory covered in lectures and textbooks, while offering a regular, attractive exposure to a global humanistic approach. An appendix contains four marked examples of index pages from "The Economist" issues used in class. (JB) |
