Managerial business qualifications, organizational performance and managerial behavior - evidence from Australia

Abstract

In this article, we assess the operational impact of tertiary qualifications in business of senior managers experienced by organizations led by them, as opposed to those led by managers without such qualifications. We find that business qualifications coincide with various significant differences in the area of business planning and occupational health and safety systems. Overall, however, the level of performance of firms between the two groups does not vary significantly. © John Rice, Nigel Martin, Sasikala Rathnappulige, 2009.
