Abstract

The strategic relevance of higher business education in Australia cannot be overstated. From a purely economic perspective, it has the lion’s share in one of Australia’s most valuable exports, education, generating around $15 billion in revenues each year (Group of Eight 2014). Business schools train and accredit generations of business leaders, entrepreneurs and business professionals, who constitute the backbone of national economy and society. Their research offers useful intelligence on how to reinforce and reconfigure organizational and industrial capabilities, helping practitioners and policymakers.

Data have been obtained by collating data from two sources: the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA) register (available online at www.​teqsa.​gov.​au) and the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS) (available online at cricos.education.​gov.​au). The list excludes private collages offering graduate education in specialized management subjects (e.g. hotel management or agribusiness management).

In addition to casual employment, there is a reliance on short-term contracts; in 2015 36.5 % of all full-time and fractional staff held limited-term positions (Department of Education and Training 2015b).
