In any tongue, the watchword is single market

Article Abstract:

Eurograduates, with working experience in more than one country, are increasing and subjects preferred by employers are business and management or engineering and information technology. However, most countries expect linguists to work in teaching or translating. The European Community Scheme for the Mobility of University Students (Erasmus) organises student exchanges between higher education institutions and 80,100 will participate in 1992/3. Britain has the most Erasmus students - 15,438 - but some problems arise because of poor language abilities. Lingua and Commett are similar schemes. UK employment of European graduates is growing.

The price of sending traders tongue-tied into the world

Article Abstract:

It has been traditionally assumed in the UK that there is little need to learn foreign languages, as English is an official language in more than 60 countries and is the mother tongue of 300 million people worldwide. However, English is little used in the Far East and western Europe, two of the world's most significant markets. More than 60% of the UK's exports now enter non-English-speaking countries, but the UK has not responded by making the effort to improve skills in foreign languages. Indeed, only 38% of companies have an executive who can operate in another language.

First choose your MBA ...

Article Abstract:

There are now more than 100 'business schools' in the UK offering MBAs, and it can be difficult for a potential student to assess the standard of a particular course. The Association of MBAs runs a scheme through which 33 of the UK's business schools have now had MBA courses accredited. This organisation is currently holding talks with the Association of Business Schools with a view to creating a new accreditation scheme. This would cover an upper tier of 30-35 top grade institutions and a threshold tier which sets nationally acceptable standards.
