“Management by Satellite”—Management Education in the South Pacific

Abstract

The main lessons for tutors working in the developing world, gained from the teaching of management education over a dispersed area by the University of the South Pacific, are that students demand structured pre‐planned course materials, which must not ossify due to lethargic teaching staff or organisational rigidity; teaching staff must recognise the constraints facing Pacific Islanders, and the implications for academic standards; and if the role of management education is to be of value then materials used and topics covered must be relevant to the limited resources and organisation structures found in that area.
