Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>The world is going digital at an astronomical speed, and every aspect of human activities is taking up space on the World Wide Web (www). But while this dramatic change, which has brought news perspectives to social, economic, educational and other activities, has taken a stronghold in most parts of the globe, other places are lagging far behind. Liberia is one of those places.<\/p>\n

And for the country to position itself to catch up with the rest of the world, Deputy Speaker of Liberia\u2019s 54th Legislature, Cllr. J. Fonati Koffa said it is high time that tertiary institutions infuse (incorporate) Information Communication Technology (ICT) into their business education modules or curriculums.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe world is advancing with massive speed technologically and we think incumbent upon our institutions of higher education in the country to begin to develop modules that will accommodate the new technological wave in the business,\u201d Cllr. Koffa stated.<\/p>\n

Cognizant of the growing importance of ICT in every aspect of human development, the Deputy Speaker recently launched an appeal to the National Commission on Higher Education (NCHE) for higher education institutions to include or infuse \u201cTechnology or IT\u201d into curriculums and modules of granting degrees in Business Administration and Management across the country.<\/p>\n

The Deputy Speaker stated that business colleges need to redesign their education and teaching in order to facilitate a new generation of business students, while at the same time, several powerful tools such as online assessments or virtual classroom tools are made available for business teachers to enrich the learning experience of their students.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Sunday to over 150,000 viewers as one of the Keynote Speakers at the just-ended virtual conference of the World Business Angels Investors Week, Cllr. Koffa said in Liberia, they will continue to push that universities and other schools of higher education to begin to develop curricula in which the business modules accommodate advances in technology so that when they come to the table with investors and financiers, they will understand the uniformed approach.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will continue to advocate for a curriculum in higher education that accommodates business leaders with a good technology background.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo longer will a MBA or Business degree be sufficient; all of our business leaders must have some fundamental understanding of technology \u2014 they must have some understanding; and the infusion of technology into the course curriculum of business management,\u201d he notes, adding that the integration of ICT is critical for the attainment of rich learning and hands-on experiences for future business managers.<\/p>\n

However, in order to provide a rich learning experience for a new generation of business students, it is important that content, technology and pedagogy are equally balanced, experts say.<\/p>\n

It is no secret that the world continues to evolve, it has been established without fundamental knowledge of technology, business operations can\u2019t run smoothly, which can mean the difference between a company\u2019s success and its failure. This means for a more rounded business education cannot be overemphasized.<\/p>\n

Business Education is a program of instruction that consists of two parts, office education \u2013 a program of vocation for office careers, and general Business Education \u2013 a program which provides the recipients with competencies and skills needed in managing personal business affairs and using the services of the business world.<\/p>\n

ICT, as applied to Business Education, involves the use of networks, expert systems, and artificial intelligence in what is now known as electronic commerce (e-commerce) or electronic business (e-communication business).<\/p>\n

E-commerce helps to facilitate the exchange of information, goods and services between companies and their customers. Business operations are much dependent on ICT. This is because the impact of communication and information technology is felt in all aspects of an organization\u2019s life from manufacturing to the service sector, particularly marketing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is why we need to start teaching our business students the importance of technology in their field,\u201d Koffa says. \u201cWe hope the NCHE and the administrators of our universities will start to look at our proposal and begin to act now. We don\u2019t have time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also, the Deputy Speaker has called on world business leaders to focus on the advancements of new business modules arguing that the traditional modules growing and developing businesses have been left behind.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is not a secret, that generally, those who have the best ideas, maybe not necessarily be those who have the best finances; It\u2019s also not a secret that the traditional business modules of growing and developing businesses have been left behind by the advancement in technology.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Deputy Speaker intoned that it is Incumbent upon higher education to begin to develop modules that says to those in higher education, that the concept of how businesses have developed have drastically changed; and without the ingenuity that technology has infused in the business modules, only few businesses will survive.<\/p>\n

Cllr. Koffa challenged investors to approach programs and training that will be in line with the current wave of technological advancements in the business world.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have just learned that the artificial intelligence technology is rapidly advancing and those involved in the AI movement are indeed the new captains of industry; businesses must now take that approach, \u201d the Deputy Speaker explains.<\/p>\n

He furthered: \u201cWe have all seen that businesses with advanced technology are the ones which proceeded to be topnotch and fortified companies; therefore the higher education leaders should be able to incorporate existing technologies in existing business curriculum to ensure that all those, including inventors and those involved in the bottle line chain of productivity are people who are well knowledgeable of the new business revolution.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the advantages or benefits derived for teaching ICT in Business Education, which Koffa believes the country would leverage when his proposal is accepted, include the exchange of information amongst members of the business community and between them and the outside word; interaction between lecturers and students; effective storage and retrieval of information and it makes information easily accessible at a very fast rate thereby enabling pre-serve Business Education teachers to acquire necessary concepts without barrier.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose advantages help in creating higher profits and opportunities for business expansion and economic growth,\u201d Koffa said.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the adoption of ICT in Liberian universities has remained a mirage due to its slow pace of acceptance and use. Little knowledge of ICT usage is observed among business teachers, as their students prove naive of e-learning practices in their training.<\/p>\n

This has been attributed to such factors as inadequate fund available to schools for training of their teachers in ICT skill acquisition, high cost of ICT equipment and electronic devices and lack of stable electricity.<\/p>\n
